Grrrrrrrunt, whoof, snort....

or however a bear sounds on a blog!! Complaining about the heat you see. Perhaps I should fill the kiddy pool and make like a polar bear!

Summer always does this to me, especially if I don't get moving fast enough in the morning while it is still cool.

Even tho bears are a priority around here, summer is also the time when we trim bushes and trees, weedeat and/or mow down the weeds and grasses that grow across our small acreage to lesson the fire danger, and fight with the drip system until it works 'just right' [you notice that hint of Goldilocks in there, right??]

Updating the website just a touch, clarifying that folks CAN purchase memory bear ornaments even if they do not purchase a Memory Bear - all these things take time, and soon summer will be gone again. If you have a Memory Bear question, or just want to chat, drop me a line at bellybuttonbears@charter.net.

YES, we offer Gift Certificates!! Just let me know.

Thank you Denise Richards!

From one Denise to another, thank you for sharing your memory bears on 'reality' TV. This has created an increased awareness of memory bears, more phone calls, more emails, more folks excited about having a bear made.
No, they were not Bellybutton Bears! Doesn't matter, we appreciate the renewed interest in bears, and the chance to help folks preserve their memories. One nice lady noted that I make bear ornaments as well. No, you do not have to order a complete bear to be able to get ornaments; you can order just ornaments. Any time. Don't wait until Christmas.
Again, thank you Denise Richards ~ your timing was great and we share your delight in memory bears.
God Bless,
Denise
