    Now don't laugh but when I first saw this little guy he made me think of my grandpa Bethal. Grandpa was a small man with a thick mustache and he wore little round glasses. Yes I think Bethal would fit this little bear just percectly!

    Hi Traci,
    What a neat bear and I have the perfect name for him! When I took a look at the close up photo of him, I knew his name could only be the same as someone who was very near and dear to me who is no longer with us, my father-in-law, he kinda resembles him, the glasses, the ears, and no hair on the top of his head and the quirky look about him! Oh my, it brought back memories! "Elmer" would be his name! Will be posting a link to your contest on my sidebar and I know I could find that special place in my home to display him!
    Smile!

    Hi Traci,
    Your "John Doe" bear is just adorable. My first impression of him was "Professor." But since so many had the exact same thought, I am going with my other impression. He looks like a "Albert Bearstein" to me. I am now a follower of both of your blogs. Hope Mr. Doe soon has an identity. 8-)

    Isn't this funny, that a little stuffed bear you made could remind us of actual people? But it really does! This one reminds me of my husbands grandfather! I would call him "Jamison Francis" because that is close to Gramp's name, and the "attitude" seems to fit! How do you do it? Amazing! I also signed up to follow both of your blogs. I will be checking in to see more of your fantastic work. Thanks for this fun opportunity!

    I love your bear and the first name that popped into my head was Shamus O'Burney (the last name is Irish for bear). He looks so old, wise and "gaelic", so I figured a name like that fit him.

    Thanks for the giveaway! Can't wait to see what his name will be!

    You've gotten some pretty terrific names for Mr. John Doe bear. It would be way too hard for me to pick only one name. They are all wonderful.

    My first thought was a Professor. Of course I had to make things harder than they were. Thinking, thinking, & more thinking for the perfect name. Hmmm.....I stayed with professor~~~~Professor Orville P. Stanton or as his friends call him~POPS.

    This is such a fun giveaway.

    I follow both your blogs & am posting on my sidebar & will do a blog post today.
