Lynette,

After receiving Gabriella this morning,
just writing again to say thank you so much
for creating this dream for me.
Gabrielle Rose has been done to complete perfection
from head to paws...
She will be a very beautiful memento as a reminder of a very special daughter.

This is bittersweet as Rosie will never get to hold Gabriella,

March 2008  (USA)

............You have outdone yourself (in my opinion).
Kathy and her "cub" arrived safe and sound
about 15 mins ago. Although a bit chilled
from their long travel to the States.
They are so much more than I anticipated,
and are that much nicer "in the fur".
Thank you so much for the special love
you seem to leave inside the bears you adopt out.
I am sure my daughter will be "bowled over"
when she receives them at her baby shower...................

I am "Kathy" of the "Kathy and her Baby." I received the beautiful set at my baby shower two weeks ago. I can't tell you how special these new members of my collection are to me. My father started my collection of special bears over 30 years ago. I think that these bears immediately became my favorite! They are truly amazing and made with such care. As I start my new journey preparing to be a Mother, it is lovely to have such a special set of bears to remind me that I will always be "Daddy's little girl." I can't express fully in words what these bears mean to me. Just know that they will always hold a dear place with me and will be one of the first things to be handed down to my child. Until then, they will hold a special place of honor in the new baby's room for all to see. It will give me a chance to see them every time I put my baby to sleep and will be there to remind us of the touching story of a father looking for the perfect gift for his daughter's baby shower. Thank you so much.

Thank you to both you Kathy and your Father - it was a great pleasure to create these Teddies for you, give them a hug from me sometimes!

Christmas 2007  (UK)

Lydia here the little girl you sent the teddy bear too. First of all I would just like to say
on my behalf thank you sooo much for making my teddy. I didn't really understand all what it was
about at first but after I read the note and turned the teddy round I realised it was a musical teddy.
The tune that my mum chose is a really special tune since I have known the tune since I was a baby!
Anyway this all means a lot to me and every time I look at Lydia or play the tune I feel upset and
sometimes cry! My mum told me to stop crying other wise she will think she has done something wrong
and I would never want my mum to think anything like that! Thank you Lynette for the best present ever!

Lots of hugs and licks ( from the bear!) and lots of hugs from Lydia xx

P.S Lydia the bear said to me " Thanks Lynette for sending me and making
me for such a well looked after, happy and a special little girl! xx She also told me to tell
you that I am looking after her REALLY well!! BYE and thanks again for sending her me!
I am the happiest girl alive!

LYDIA - It was my pleasure to make this Teddy for you - you have a wonderful Mum to look after you
and I wish you all a Very Happy New Year - Beary hugs   Lynette xx

As promised I said I would let you know when I have received MT bear and as
you duly promised he arrived this morning. With great anticipation I had to
see him for my own eyes. I opened the box thinking 'The box looks quite
small maybe he's smaller than I thought he would be' little did I know he
would be cuddled up in his box, snug just like a little baby in the foetal
position. When I took him out and sat him down I thought 'what a gorgeous
bear you are'. He really is delightful and even more beautiful than the
pictures could ever show. I can't wait to show him to my husband who is
currently doing his HGV training. I will decorate his box (his home for
now) and give him to my husband on Sunday. I am sure he will love him just
as much as I do.
I must tell you that this bear will be very special although I know that 7
years is not really a milestone anniversary compared to the usual diamond,
pearl, ruby etc but for us 7 years is very special. You see we have a
severely disabled little boy or not so little as in fact he is 12 years old
today. We have been through many ups and downs with him through the years
and admittedly it has been hard at times and needless to say the struggles
can take its toll on any marriage. I feel we have triumphed to get as far
as we have and to still care for each other more than we ever did. We have
a tradition in our marriage, whenever one of us has to stay away from home
because of our son's frequent hospital admissions, the one that is left at
home alone with the other children will keep a treasured teddy on the spare
pillow so as to still feel close to one another. It has always given us
comfort. I hope you will be happy to know that MT bear will be taking that
place on our pillow for many years to come, so you see he will be a very
special and treasured bear. Feel free to put any pictures on your webpage
and to share our story. I am sure it will touch many others as teddies
always do.
Thank you again so much for all your hard work. God bless you

Dear Lynette, I'm sorry I did not reply sooner, but I was out of town (a
dog show) when dear Sage safely arrived. How wonderful he is. I showed
 him to the original Sage, and he stamped his approval on him (almost
literally!), but did not care for the music. The girl Shepherds were
 delighted and thought he was a "toy" for them and I could see trouble
 brewing, so I took pictures quickly & removed him from everyone sight.
 I'm sure Dr. Petrone will be delighted. Thank you. I'm sure you will be
 hearing from me again. Linda , Sage, Bunny, Ali

Just a quick email to say a big "Thank You" for Alfie who I was - finally! -
allowed to have today. My husband was very strict about me not even being
allowed a peek until my birthday. He's even better "in the fur" than in the
pictures and certainly looks like the real Alfie (minus the dirty face and
paws). I showed Bear-Alfie to Dog-Alfie - his eyes lit up in the hope that
it was a super large dog toy, so I think that I will be keeping them well
apart in future. He's normally very good, but I'm not taking any chances!.................
