****Happy New Year****

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and wish everyone a very happy new year!Also a very big thank you for the get well posts,it was so nice of you to take the time to write and I appreciate it very much.It is taking longer than I expected,but I am getting better day by day.I have been taking a high dose of antibiotics daily,(3,600 mgs)and it makes me a bit drained out.The pnuemonia has cleared but I am still dealing with the staph infection that caused three abcesses on my leg, one being severe with cellulitus.I also have issues to work out for my teddy business due to paypals latest 21 day hold period that will apply to more than ebay transactions.If you are a seller with a paypal account for your website,etsy,ebay or other venue you may want to check your paypal account to see if you will also be placed on a hold to recieve your funds.I am trying to avoid too much stress at this time but I must say paypal and ebay are really making me loathe them more each day.Of course ebay owns paypal so they assume they can run all businesses as they do on ebay.As for the new bears and kitties they should be listed within a couple of weeks.I will update when they are completed.Have a wonderful New Year!~~~~Sharie

Home from the hospital and on the mend

You may have noticed I haven't been posting or offering any new bears for quite some time.The reason is I became very ill and had to be hospitalized for a week.I had no access to my computer during that time and most likely couldn't have posted if I could.I had been so busy working on my bears for special orders and ebay plus weatherizing for the winter months,I wasn't taking care of myself even though I felt rundown and a bit under the weather.Being so busy I thought it was just stress and a small little cut that would heal and if I needed to see the doctor I would just go after the holidays.....bad idea....what I ended up with was pnumonia and a severe abscess on my leg that led to being put in the hospital for a week.It was a week of hell being on the IV along with the numerous blood tests to endure I can't even express how happy I am to be home!I still have to take things slowley to recouperate and will be on medication for a straight 15 days to make sure I get completely well again.I will try to have some of the new bears and kitty's I had almost completed before I became ill listed sometime after Christmas.I will be sure to post their pictures when they are completed.Hugs~~~~Sharie
