Teddy Bear Blog Hop

Hi Everyone and welcome to the teddy bear blog hop!  It is National Teddy Bear Day! Jen from Jen's Craft Corner brought a lot of talented crafters together for this special day. The hop will run from September 9th through the 12th.

 Here is the story about National Teddy Bear day, just in case you haven't seen it.

National Teddy Bear Day
Teddy bears are, of course, named after US President Theodore "Teddy" Roosevelt. The name came about after a 1902 hunting expedition. The hunt had found no game, so at the end of the day someone brought out a baby bear and suggested that Roosevelt might like to shoot it instead. Roosevelt understandably felt that this was not exactly sporting and refused. The incident was illustrated in a newspaper cartoon entitled "Drawing the Line" - which also referred to the political situation at the time. An enterprising New York toymaker saw an opportunity and brought out a cute stuffed bear named "Teddy's Bear". The rest, as the say, is history.

I hope you are enjoying the hop.  You should have come from http://ICrea8Cards.blogspot.com, if you just happened to find out about the hop, head to www.jenscraftcorner.com to start at the beginning.

I wanted to do something a little different for my project.  I love to make jewelry.  I haven't done it much lately.  It seems like there are so many cool crafts, and its hard to pick which one I want to do each day. :)


So my project is this cute teddy bear necklace.  I got the cute teddy bear bead off ebay a few years ago.  The beads are cats eye beads from  www.beadsdumonde.com.

Blog Candy!  I will be giving away a suprise package!  I will pick a winner on Tuesday morning and post the winner here.  You must be a follower to be eligible for the candy.
