Teddy Bo Tuesday (CAS Mid Challenge Reminder)

Good Morning to you all!!!

It's nearly Halloween...oooooh, what a fabulously scary time of year!!!  Not too sure what I'm dressing up as yet......there are lots of costumes at Teddy Bo Towers, but only if you like to wear knitted rubber costumes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We have 2 new girlies on the DT AND one of them lives very close to the Towers (which makes it easy for her to escape  go home at night!!)  Liz (Buttons for Brains) has joined us and you can see her lovely card below.  Liz has a wonderful way with very bright colours.  Renee (Creative Paint & Paper) has also joined us and what Renee can do with her little mini albums is just spectacular.  Thank you ladies for joining us..x

So, what's new in the store this week?

Now....wait to you see what our wonderful DT has made this week to inspire you....x

It's a Tuesday, it's a Tuesday, it's a Tuesday!!! 

Happy, happy Teddy Bo Tuesday!?!?  What wonderful things are happening in your life right now?!?!  Is the weather nice where you are?!  Have you lost another wee bit of weight?!  Did the postman say hello this morning?!?!?!  I hope we can all find a little bit of something wonderful...even if it starts off tiny!!!

Looking forward to a delivery of a little magazine this week!!!!  There just might be a little feature about a couple of bears we might know!!!!  Details to follow....xxxxx ;o)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After Edna's daughter's wedding last week Teddy Bo Towers has returned to the quiet, calm place that it normally is.......;o)..........we've got a few more celebrations for some of our ladies in the near future which I'm sure will result in FAR too much potato vodka...although it will give Claire yet another excuse to knit some 'little' things!!!  Don't know what I'm talking about?!?!?  Well.....maybe you should visit the Teddy Bo Challenge blog on a Friday!!!

Quick wee reminder that we're just over half way through our latest challenge......but it closes on Sunday 16th October at midnight UK time....and it couldn't be easier.......this challenge's theme is
