Pictures From Schuamburg

The Schaumburg show was a lot of fun. Lots of wonderful people there! Am uploading a few pictures.

Schaumburg Spring Show

I wasn't sure if I was going to make it with all the things that have been happening in our house lately. I will probably feel a little guilty about leaving Scott for the day, but I will be at the Schaumburg Spring Show! Go to http://www.bright-star-promotions.com/ for details!

More Schaumburg - Spring 2008

I really did not have the time to get out from behind my booth to take pictures! I did manage to take some piccture of people who came to visit me. Laura Mathews had an interesting friend packed away in her purse.

Jo Martinson brought along a young lady who had just made her first teddy bear. I also had the opportunity to preview the bears tha Jo is making as the souvineer bear for the Good Bears show. (They are great!)

Fuzzy Slipper Night - Schaumburg

As promised, 2nd blog on Schaumburg. We had a blast at Teddy Talk's Fuzzy Slipper Night. We had a little party open to anyone with a love for teddies and fuzzy slippers. It was such a good time and started out with a fun little ice breaker game which was a scavenger hunt. We were given questions to ask questions of each other to find out what was unique about the other person. An example being: find someone in the room who has run a marathon... or find someone who lives west of the Mississippi. The only one that fit me was: find somone who has been snorkling! There were prizes fot the game and door prizes and a prize for the best Fuzzy Slipper Night outfit. Brenda Snedon was the winner of the best outfit.

Michelle Lamb Class

I was fortunate to be able to take Michelle Lamb's class on bear faces at the Schaumburg Teddy Bear Show. I have always admired Michelle work and it was lots of fun taking a class from her. I am posting a few pictures I took during the day.

Schaumburg IL Spring 2007

I had a wonderful show at Schaumburg this Spring. I stopped in at the class that The Bear Guys were running. Shane & Steven are wonderful artists and are a bunch of fun to be around. We had dinner with a bunch of artists and then went for a ride trying to find Hobby Lobby. None of us had the slightest idea where it was I wound up at Target instead.

The show was really well attended. There were over 40 artists ane there certainly was a buzz in the air. It was very difficult for me to get away from my booth for any amount of time. Fortueatley Laura Mathews took pity on me & gave me a break a couple of times. (& I never got a picture of her). All in all it was a very fun show!
