Thanks to all who entered our challenge last week, it was great seeing all the lovely projects with puzzle pieces, you are all so very talented, also thanks to everyone who entered for our DT call....good luck.
This week we want to see all your TEDDY BEARS choosen by Emma at Tuesday Taggers and there is a prize up for grabs this week, for our fabulous sponsors at The Craft Barn, before you pop over and see all the fab projects our team have come up with, I would like to introduce Christine as our fabby Guest DT for this week, so go and say hello to her, she is one of the friendliest and talented crafters on blogland, and a very special friend, who has made my time here on blogland a pleasure....great to work with you this week my dear Yorkshire Pudding....
I could not resist Paddington Bear for my creation, and as he has a love of marmalade, I decided to "alter" a "jar of marmalade" all the goodies I used excpet for the inks and glues, came free in different Crafting Magazines. A quick story, I am a Dundee Lass, born and bred, the home of the 3J's (jute, jam and journalism), and my maiden name was Robertson as in Jam....I also worked in the factory where the 1st jar off jam was made by Mrs Keillor.....whilst being a secretary at Dundee University (we had our stationery store and office in this factory), so hopefully you can see why Paddington had to be my choice of Bear....now I cannot wait to see all your projects, so come on girls......beary on down and craft with us at Tuesday Taggers this week.....Hugs Avril xxx
ps don't forget our bloghop at Winter Wonderland you still have until Saturday to join us.....

Hi Avril, talk about a trip down memory lane, can so remember Paddington Bear as a child my younger sister had one with the wellies and all! Remember Robertson Jam too, used to have some of the golliwog badges. Bet Edinburgh is very cold, loved the castle, didn't visit when it was snowing though, love your project, take careX:)

Great jar cover. A very clever idea. I love it.

Wow Avril I see youve created a lovely project there and so useful, and I can see using Paddington on a Marmalade jar rather ironic, but its stunning. With love and hugs Shirleyxx
Hi Avril, pleased to hear you've found a nice warm and cosy spot to do your crafting. Great idea using Paddington on the marmalade jar, very clever. I love Paddington and I love marmalade too yum yum!
