look for winners tomorrow

Thank you so much for all the incredible bear stories and for taking the time to visit my little blog! I know you must be waiting to hear who the winners are and I will be announcing them tomorrow.  Due to the unexpected number of responses it's taking a bit longer to collect all the names and add them to the bowl.  The random number generator method just seems far too impersonal. So... tomorrow the lucky winners will be announced right here.  See you soon!

a blog giveaway to celebrate the new year! ::UPDATED with PHOTOS::

                                                                                                     The new year is here and what better way to celebrate than to have a fun little giveaway!  All you have to do is leave a comment telling me your favorite teddy bear memory.  The comments section will be open until 5:00 PM Eastern Standard Time (US), Monday, 18 January 2010. (Oops... not December!  Thanks for correcting me, Tara!)  All the names will be jumbled into a big bowl and three winners will be selected.  The first name drawn will receive a  Sweet Souls Teacup Teddy handmade by me.  The second winner will receive to prints of their choice from my Etsy shop and the third name drawn wins a surprise package full of pretty things!

AND if you mention the contest on your blog your name will be entered into the bowl twice.

This is little Ulla, named after a very dear fellow blogger who you may visit here.  She's completely handsewn by me and is a mere 3.75 inches tall.  Her lace collar adorned with glass beads is also hand crocheted by me and closes with an antique MOP button in the back.  She's waiting anxiously to find out who her new mom or dad will be!

I do hope you will join in the fun and help me move my wee blog into 2010 with much excitement.  Truth be told I enjoy giving things away so much more than selling them!

Hope to hear from you soon!  Wishing everyone a very happy and healthy New Year!
