Three or More Thursday #9

Here we are at Three or More Thursday again! Thank you to Tam at The Gypsy Corner for hosting this for us. Go hop over there and see who else is posting this week. Or better yet, why don't you join us.

I have ceramic type bears as part of my collections as well as the stuffed variety. Today I am going to show you three of them. All three of these were gifts to me at one time or another. All I have had for several years now.

The first one the left is a teacher bear. I think it was given to me while I was still working for the school district as an intructional aide in special education. I had done that for 12 years before switching to what I do now. The second one was from my son several years ago.

This one was given to me by a co-worker when I was working for the school district, but not the same person who gave me the first one. I have other ceramic bears also. But I will save them for other Three or More Thursdays, or Blue Monday or Pink Saturday depending on where they fit best.

Happy Three or More Thursday!!

Good Morning Linnea!
That sunrise is AWESOME! It is so beautiful. Like Jan, I also said "wow!" when I opened the page.
I think your bears are so sweet. I wish I could put stuff like that up. Right now all my "cutesies" are packed away as I've 2 rather rambunctious boys who just won't leave them alone when the cutesies are out. lol!
I hope you have a fabulous day!
Hugs!

Three or more Thursday is new to me and I did enjoy it. I love the story of Goldilocks and the little bears. I always tell it to my granddaughters as a goodnighter!

I was so struck by that incredible sunrise on your banner. I thought I had seen a stunner this morning which I also poster but yours is wonderful. Like the first day of creation!

Hi Linnea!

Your little bears are so sweet! I need to join this group--I have many, many collections! It might make me "scale down" my stuff if I really looked at how much I have! :)

I SO enjoyed your post of the EPIPHANY celebrations at your church! OH MY, that was so great to see that camel involved--a therapy camel, to boot!!! Your photos were great---HOWEVER, I have to say you are GREAT to do a Bathroom Diva shot in the bathroom of the church IN your Ephiphany Costume! You are too funny! Yes! We need more fun folks like you! I hope you shared this with Shelia!

Well, I've been getting the many names written down for my 100th post giveaway drawing to be held later today--best I get back to that task!!

Lynette said...

Your sunrise header is amazing and even better that you got to see it live and in person!!
I've been blog hopping and have seen several bloggers with "buttons" and thought I'd make my own (actually had a friend help me with mine!!). You just grab the code at the bottom and post it to your sidebar (if you want) and it links you back to that person's blog! It's kinda fun and different and several people have them and I thought I would give it a try!!

Bonnie said...

Aren't collections fun? Your header is beautiful. How do you get the snow flakes through all your pictures? That is so pretty (especially since we don't have to live in it!)

Have great Sunday!
