My Grandma gave him to me when I was in the hospital still. I dont have to bring it with me everywhere or anything crazy like that but its nice to have a cuddle buddy on cold wintery nights and when you cry yourself to sleep.<BR/><BR/>-KimAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33681077.post-1160101905093298392006-10-05T19:31:00.000-07:002006-10-05T19:31:00.000-07:00I gave my daughter my Snoopy and Woodstock stuffed...I gave my daughter my Snoopy and Woodstock stuffed animals. She doesn't get hos special they were to me, though. I LOVED Snoopy and couldn't afford Belle at the time although she was way bigger than Snoopy and I didn't know if she was his girlfriend or sister. My daughter does sleep with "Bruce" - the shark from Finding Nemo that she got from Disney on Ice. She can't sleep without it.<BR/><BR/>Marley, I love the pics of you with your bear. It's heartwarming!<BR/>~SimoneSimone Elkeleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18307922920459102582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33681077.post-1159830751793319852006-10-02T16:12:00.000-07:002006-10-02T16:12:00.000-07:00Ahhhh, Donny is just adorable!

Thsnks for telling us about him, Marley!<BR/><BR/>Here's a bit about my new friends:<BR/><BR/>I think Bratz dolls are so cute. <BR/>Last Xmas, I put it on my list and ended up with 2: one with the same coloring as me and one with the same name as my main character in my first YA. They hang out in my home office and inspire me to write fun, stylish, sassy YAs.<BR/><BR/>WendyToliverAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33681077.post-1159815339330627472006-10-02T11:55:00.000-07:002006-10-02T11:55:00.000-07:00Okay, confession time...

Snuggles was a Gund I heisted from my mother when we were on a trip to Hawaii during my high school years. Maybe because he belonged to my mom, he was special to me. (Just so you don't think I'm some kind of klepto -- I told Mom I was nabbing him.) Anyway, Snuggles has watched patiently my writing career progress from his vantage point above my desk. Though, at the moment, he's *gasp* in storage. Poor Snuggles. Don't tell Mom. :)Young Adult Authorshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12093024348425287064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33681077.post-1159764355925370372006-10-01T21:45:00.000-07:002006-10-01T21:45:00.000-07:00I have the teddy bear I received as a baby gift, o...I have the teddy bear I received as a baby gift, or for my one-year birthday, can't really remember THAT far back. But I do remember there used to be a tiny gold bell in one of his ears, his left one, and it fell out a long time ago. My teddy is also either 37 or 36 years old depending on if he was a birth gift, or one-year gift. I remember being little thinking how huge a bear he was, and now, he seems so tiny. But he is up there on my closet shelf. I should bring him down for a visit.<BR/><BR/>I also have my Good Luck Care Bear I received from Santa when I was 16 ('course I knew who Santa was by then, but I had a younger brother). I don't even let my daughter play with my Good Luck bear or my other one.<BR/><BR/>And in the past five years or so, I acquired a Woobie blanket from TJ Maxx that I absolutely love and sleep with every night!<BR/><BR/>Thanks for sharing your Teddy Bear story and bringing up the memories!MaNiC MoMMy™https://www.blogger.com/profile/14038801888210803955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33681077.post-1159718436498787082006-10-01T09:00:00.000-07:002006-10-01T09:00:00.000-07:00So sweet, Marley!

I can't believe Donny went on your honeymoon, hilarious!<BR/>I remember having a small Pooh bear when I was little that I was quite joined at the hip with. One night I threw up pepperoni pizza on him and when he got washed half his mouth ripped off.<BR/>He kind of looked like a stroke victim after that but I still loved him. Sadly, my crushes were as fickle then as they are now and I'm fairly certain Pooh met his demise in the yearly garage sale. <BR/>Steph<BR/>ps- build-a-bear rocks. why didn't i think of that?stephhalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15836703686468306571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33681077.post-1159652636702807512006-09-30T14:43:00.000-07:002006-09-30T14:43:00.000-07:00Hurray for Donny, and thanks for sharing your stor...Hurray for Donny, and thanks for sharing your story and those pictures!<BR/> <BR/>I never really got the stuffed animal bug, so none of mine survived my childhood. But my daughter's room is filled with them, and I've logged in my share of hours with her at Build-A-Bear, admiring the choices, the clothes, trying to pick out cool names. Yeah, it's like creating characters--and we know there's nothing better than that!TinaFerrarohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14356148823775352938noreply@blogger.com
