Tea parties and giveaways!

Its pretty cold and dark here in Hemel Hempstead this morning so I thought I'd brighten up things by telling you about a couple of exciting things going on here in December and over on my friend Ginger Brame's blog, Bearbits.



Firstly on the 5th December I like to invite you to join me here for two special occasions, my annual Christmas Webshow will be hosted from here at 6pm and I will also be participating in Gingers Christmas Tea Party, I have no idea how I'm going to juggle both or maybe I'll combine them! So please pop over on the 5th, take a seat, enjoy a cuppa, a mince pie, buy a bear or two and visit lots of wonderful artists blogs.

For more information on the tea party please visit Ginger's Blog here

Secondly Ginger is doing her last giveaway of the year, you maybe aware already that Ginger is celebrating her 25th anniversary of bear making and because she's such a lovely lady she's been making bears for giveaways all year. Let me introduce Noelle Kringle a beautiful Christmases bear, I love Gingers work so much I have been a big fan of hers for many years and I even believe Santa will have one of her bears in his sack this year for me! If you would like to have a chance to win this wonderful fella then take a visit to Gingers blog and sign up here.

I'm now going to try and get on with some work, I have legs to stuff!
