The Ultimate Blog Party!

I've just joined in with The Ultimate Blog Party being held by 5 Minutes for Mom.  Do go along and join in the fun and there are also some great prizes to win.  If I had the chance I'd like to win the $100 gift certificate to Pedal cars and Retro or Rocking Horse to Love!

Welcome to all the new friends joining me here. I create Artist Bears & Friends as well as a new range of nostalgic Prints and Cards showing the adventures that the Bumpkin Bears get up to in their little village by the woods. If you'd like to be kept up to date with new items then just send me an email to join my mailing list. I love blogging and meeting new people so thanks so much for stopping by and saying hi :)

A new Bumpkin Bears Spring illustrated Print is on it's way soon as well as a new Alpaca bear, in the meantime have a look at my Easter Print Sale in my Etsy store. Have a great weekend and don't forget the cupcakes for the party, here is one of my Prints titled "One Cupcake is never enough"! Oh so true :)



Beary Hugs, Catherine and my Bears x

Your bears are absolutely adorable!!! I also love your blog! I am a huge fan of Colbie Caillat! (I think that's one reason I got a Jeep and bought my husband a guitar for Christmas!!!) I'm so glad you found me. Your work is exactly the kind of art we need in this world--full of joy!

Hello Catherine, thank you for visiting my blog. I have been visiting your bears and I think they are adorable. I mostly collect Russ Berrie Bears because I love the expressions on their faces. The two bears in my avatar are Blueberry and Thornberry. Thornberry went off to University with my eldest daughter Ali. Shes reading English - he's reading Apiaryism - bee keeping and research to you and me! Blueberry is at home with me - he's actually my husband Tony's bear. I was delighted you left me a comment.

Man I love your site!! I really love your Panda Bear you have created, Su Lin! I have a 5 1/2 daughter that we have adopted from China, and one more on the way.
I may have to save up my pennies for this.
