Hi Sandi!

I sat down at my computer a few minutes ago and found your site update email. Off I went to your website and found your new Chibi Bear. I don't know anything about manga, but I do know Umeko is adorable!!! And, do you know, I bought her -- she is lovely! Alas, before I've written to tell you that one absolutely gorgeous gal arrived safely this past week.

Pearline is so beautiful and such a sweetheart, cuddly and lovable! I'm delighted!!!  I'm very happy with my Bearly Sane teddy bears, each and every one!!! They are just extraordinary and so much fun!!!

Thank you very, very much, Sandi!
With warm wishes,
Susan

Hi Sandi,

English Rose arrived safely at week's end. I've gotten her unpacked and settled comfortably on her pretty pink cushion. She is beautiful! I'm delighted with her!!!

A lovely breath of spring blew through the open door when English Rose was delivered.  I love the mohair you've used on her, it is so soft and luxurious, and she feels so nice to hold. She scampered off her cushion and is sitting in my lap now as I write, she's such a cozy little bear. Although a small Cushion Cubby, she's warmed up, well, part of my lap!

Thank you so much, Sandi, for English Rose --she makes me smile and feel warm inside too!
With warm wishes from cold North Carolina.

Hi Sandi,

Hi Sandi,

Crystal and Her Snow Angel arrived safely at the end of last week, in time for Valentine's Day! I will never mistake one of your gorgeous creations. Crystal is so beautiful in every aspect -- her heavenly fur and nose colors, her lovely thick, curly fur, her soft eyes and sweet, inquisitive expression, her fluffy scarf and hat. Her pretty Snow Angel, who I've been calling Snowflake, not altogether original, I'm afraid, yet she is unique!

I'm delighted with Crystal and Her Snow Angel!!! Thank you so very much!!!

With Warm Wishes and Many Thanks,
Susan

Hi Sandi,

Stan the Man is here and he is just terrific! I love that face!
He looks like he has a chip on his shoulder.

He is going to be a mother's day gift for my mom.
She is 81 years old and will just love him. We actually will share Stan!

Hi Sandi,

Just to let you know Sweet Stuff arrived safely. Many thanks he is lovely.

Character just jumps out at you--he makes me smile to look at him--the photo did not do him justice !!

The notepaper is great, I will take pleasure in using it.

Your certificates for Bobo's Friend (who got here on the same day -- very exciting) & Sweet Stuff are beautiful.

Thanks again,

Aiko arrived safely today.

She is much pinker than my monitor showed, I love the color of pink.

I love her expression and the little ribbon flower on her jacket.

She has such a nice weighty feel to her.

Thanks so much, Connie.

Hello Sandi,

The little one arrived safely yesterday 6/25/08. I took a peak and he looks wonderful.

Now the task is to keep him hidden until Christmas.

I am curious as to time / date difference between.
My time right now is 6:36 am Thursday. What is it where you are??

Have a great day and summer,

Bob

Hi Sandi,

Wow!  You sure sound busy, but in a beary good way!

You can stop worrying about the lovely Miss Cherry Blossom and sweet little Valenti. They arrived safely yesterday (Monday) afternoon.  And, of course, I love them! 

They are both absolutely beautiful.  Valenti has the sweetest expression on his adorable face, and Cherry Blossom is a very beautiful girl - what a lovely color she is!  They have been having a great time with Miss Sally Moon there to greet them and getting to know all the other bears in their new family!  :o)

Good luck in all the bear endeavors you have coming up!  Make sure you take some time out for you, though! 

Thanks again so very much for Cherry Blossom and Valenti!  Such charming bears!

Hi Sandi,

Just to let you know that I collected Hetty from the Post Office this morning, she arrived safe and sound. I am absolutely delighted with her. You are so talented, her face is just amazing!

I meant to keep your address so that Hetty could send you a post card when the weather improves and I get time for a trip out somewhere that depicts the area she now lives in, however I accidently shredded the packaging in a mad moment of tidying up, so can you email it to me.

Regards,

Julie

And Claudette and Fred are locked in an embrace!

He is absolutely wonderful. I love how you made the flaps for the ol' timer shoes. The diamond pin on his ascot tie is wonderful. Please tell me you didn't make the hat? Love his cane too. You are so wonderfully talented.

I just can't get over it. They match perfectly.

Love and hugs,

Trish

Hi Sandi,

Tremayne arrived last night! When I walked through the front door and saw the box, my heart skipped a beat.

He is so much more beautiful in person than in photos. He has the cutest eyes; an expression that seems to be full of hope and promise.

I really love how you indented the area for the mouth and then stiched the mouth. His nose is terrific too! As always you have created the perfect bear.

Love and Hugs,

Trish

Hi Sandi,

Acorn has arrived ... my goodness woman, you have way too many talents.

Acorn is so special, I just love his face. His booties and hat are just wonderful. It is so soft and beautiful and what a terrific match with the yarn color. I just can't tell you how happy I am to be his mom.

He is absolutely precious. He is sitting in front of me as I am typing this, I just look at him and marvel at his personality. He has so much expression!

Thank you again ... Love and Hugs,

Trish

Hi Sandi!

Just a quick note to tell you that Blue Boy arrived yesterday - I was amazed at the speed he travelled from the other side of the world! He is delightful! I am absolutely thrilled with him.

I only wish you were closer so that I could attend one of your classes! I will just have to keep a close watch on your web site.

Thanks again,

Love Anne (Watkins)

Sandi, she is wonderful. Clarence can't get over her eyes. I think this is why I fell in love with her. I love how her neck twists and how her head swivels different ways. Her whole personality changes!

She is a real beauty and will be very loved.

Love and hugs,

Trish and Claudette

Re: Billie    Published on: Teddy Talk

... oh boy, is she a stunner.

When I opened the parcel with Billie inside, I was instantly in love with the pretty bear.

The pictures show her as being wonderful, but when you hold one of Sandi's bears in your hands and see what fantastic work she has done, then you will realise what a great artist she is.

Thank you so much Sandi, she will be treasured always.

Hugs,
