Remember to take some time every day to relax and ease your stress.  Read a book, take a hot bath, put your feet up and watch a favorite TV show.....or play with your dolls and teddy bears.  Here's hoping your day is a lovely one.

Thank you to all for your interest in Pippa. I eenjoyed your likes, comments and lovely personal notes. Most importantly, thank you to all of you who bid with your heart. High bid for Pippa was $495.76 and every penny will go to the International Rett Syndrome Foundation.

Pippa is on her way to her new home, along with some fun Halloween surprises. I think Teddy Bear people are pretty incredible.

Here is a photo of Pippa showing her relative size as she poses in front of a flow blue plate.  The auction is going well and she is currently at $495.00.  It's incredible!  People are so generous for such a great cause.  Thank you!

 I am finishing up a 9" off white bear. I will be listing Pippa on ebay this Sunday and all proceeds will be donated to the Nebraska Strollathon For Rett Syndrome to help a friend and fellow teddy bear artist, Terri Larson, whose daughter, Emma, has Rett Syndrome. 

I don't often create teddy bears smaller than 12".  I will try to get photos posted here and on Facebook later today ~~ I hope you will have a look.
