No I dont mind you asking Lorna, I got started when my dh bought me the Boyds Bear "Bailey" for my birthday. I fell in love with Boyds Bears, and have collected them along with any other kind of bear that needs to be "adopted". That was smart of you to keep the notebook, I should have done that but now it would be kind of hard to take pictures of all of them, although I do have alot of them that have had their picture taken, because I transfer some of the pictures onto,notecards, or some Ive even had blown up and put in a frame. We have a teddy bear thread if you are interested here is the link

I also belong to a few teddy bear sites, if you are interested pm me and I will give you the info on them.Its fun to chat with other bear lovers and one of the groups does small(inexpensive) swaps,not just the bears themselves but with bear related items, bookmark, cards,ornaments, etc.
Have a good day
Hugs Sandie
