Well it has been a few days, okay a week or more since I have updated my blog. (smiles) I have just been really busy with making bears, teaching (homeschooling), as well as teaching (driver's Ed) and keeping up with my daily chores and going to Curve's daily, and being mom's Taxi....lol....wow I almost had to catch my breath writing it.

I have been dong fairly well with my Curve's. People have started to comment, so that is a nice thing. MIL was MIA for a couple weeks as she was in Texas with her daughter. She says she had a great time. My SIL's husband is in Iraq so he could use your prayers as well as my SIL.

My bears have been doing well... still building that business. I almost hate to call it a business as I just love making them. And can't keep them to myself...lol...I am always looking for this little thing or that great piece of fabric to create my dresses. So much fun to create them!! It is also hard to sell them after I make them. I have to remind myself I can make another if wanted.
If you are needing great mulberry paper you need to visit, The Beary Scrap link that I have. It is the best paper.

Tear Bears and news........Bears Exclusive to Ebay




It has been a great few weeks. Hope everyone had a great Easter!! We had some friends over after church and played Hand and Foot....great, fun game. If you have never played you should Google the rules and try it out. My littlest girl had a new dress and looked so pretty.

I have been busy making my bears and selling them on Ebay...some have done remarkably well. Others are so, so.....I am always in wonder of how some will do really well and one that you think will match that or do better doesn't.......

My husband is trying to get his (used)appliance store opened again. Long story of how he had one and then closed it...but it is a struggle to find the right store front and come up with the opening money. Just when things start looking up for him, something else to the neg. happens. Just have to pray......

Have a great day..........

Here are a few more of my Boutique tear bears.on Ebay...




Life has been going great here. We moved to this new home last Sept. When we moved we had to get rid of some of our animals. We lived on a farm and were now moving to town....any how we had to give away my daughters Golden Retriever, it was a sad moment for us all. Well after 8 months we have him back!! My daugter of course is thrilled, as I am for her. It broke my heart to watch her cry her eye's out. I will post a pic. later of them.

Here are my bears, and you can find them on Ebay under the seller name bargainonellc

I have started seling my Tear Bears on Ebay again...


I am once again offering my scrap pieces on Ebay...I am under the seller id.. bargainonellc.......so if you are ever interested in checking them out there and bidding stop by....

I have also opened a store on Etsy, but it doesn't seem to move as well. Maybe it's the catagory or maybe my art isn't liked as well by the buyers...lol...who knows. I do know that I love to create the bears and make unique paper piecing characters.

One of these days I will figure out how to put up files and share my creations.

Curves is still going great, all three of us are seeing results. We are stronger, loosing inches. I wish I had started years ago...lol....

Oh, some other great news is that I may get to open my very own scrap store, all smiles here. It has been a dream to have a store for years. My husband is thinking of opening an appliance store again and there is part of the store that would hold a scrap store as well. So we would share this building. but it is still up in the air for now.

Any how I hope all that read this have a great and blessed day!!

It's Monday......


Yes, it's Monday and we have a whole new week a head of us. So that is something to smile about!!

Last night we had a special dinner for my third child. We gave her a ring that symbolizes purity and promise to keep herself pure until she is married. My other two have one as well and it is such a blessing to watch them grow and choose to keep themselves apart.

I did also happen to get more of my tear bears made. This one I am sharing today has curlers in her hair. I sell them on Ebay under bargainonellc and on Etsy as bearycrafty. So if you are interested in a bear you can get them there. They are really great fun to make, and after a full week it is so nice to sit down and create them.

Have a blessed week!!

Back to making Tear bears


I just love making these bears and haven't had the time to do it in a while. So I made some time this week-end and I created 4 new ones. I make the dresses from fabric and then adhere them to my bears. I also made one wearing a boutique pajama, not quit finished yet though.

Curves is going well!! I started going 5 times a week now. Yeah!! for me. My daughter who is 16 has joined us, so that makes it fun. I enjoy having her.

Work is going well too. We are busy now that it is Spring and the threat of snow is gone. I am still loving the job.

Well got to run!1 Be blessed and have a great day.
