What's New for BearFolk Kountry.com

Updated March 10th 2008 - What Well. as you can see, I am lousy at updating these pages..lol I have a new webset and have been working on it and also my membership pages for sometime but as the world turns, my off line life has taken a front seat and for the past year and a half, it has been a roller coaster of ups and downs.. mostly downs with a lot of hurdles =( I won't go into detail as we all have our problems and to each of us, none could be worse, but as I hear of others, I am truly grateful and blessed for my online friends who have managed to not let me stay hidden under my rock and have watched over me and been there for me when I was at my lowest ebb. I have sadly pushed away a lot of my good friends and have been very quiet this past year and if it were not for a few very determined young ladies who would not let me push them away, I would have ceased to exist in this community and be very much alone. I kid you not.. I had such a bad year last year.. it never let up. I was hoping and praying that this year would be better and already we are in the 3rd month and it has not let up on me.. will I ever see the light and the end of these disasters that keep befalling upon me? sigh* I am so tired of trying to climb to the top of that mountain to get to the other side......

OH MY GAWD! How could I almost forget! I do have one bit of news worthy of sharing and that has really brightened my dayz.. My dear friend and sister, Cally, just had a baby boy! Young Zachary Kevin was born March 4th 2008 weighing a whopping 7lbs 5oz and 19 inches.. Congratulations little sister! Cally has honored me by christening me as Gran ally ;)

Anyway.. I haven't done much of late to my site and rebuilt it back up after the crash and losing a lot of my pages and areas that I had connected to my main page. I had so many wonderful graphics and pages to share and they were all lost and with my health being up and down and the older I get, the slower I seem to be, I just haven't had the energy to dig through my disks and try to locate all the adoptions I had or the wonderful siggies I have been given or purchased through the years... maybe someday.

I don't have to tell you that this past year has also been hard on a lot of others.. we have seen a lot of wonderful membership sites come and go due to people being tired of being stolen from.. their hard work showing up on other sites or in the email groups and a lot of scams sites that opened and took your money and then run off and close it's doors this past year. I can't even begin to comprehend how much money I had invested into all these sites that I have lost. I can't recall any other year that has seen such a loss of sites then this past year.  What a year! Sites closing, witch hunts, fingers pointing, accusations, scams, drama drama drama and more drama. This used to be such a close community and a place to come and relax and have fun.. a escape from the real world and it's pressures. Not so any more. Very sad....

Well.. enough of my blabbering..lol like I said, I haven't done much in as updating this site other then to update my memberships pages - I just removed 7 active sites to the retired pages.. meaning 7 more sites bites the dust =( Plus I added a few new memberships that were gifted to me and changed out some logo's. I've also updated my wish list as a lot I had listed, at some point last year I got and so I added a few new wishes <grin> Plus Zarbella of ZB Pixel Treasure site has come up with something new, fun & exciting... She is offering some of the cutest 2008 Easter Eggs that if you add it to your page, you can watch it grow daily till Easter and you see a big surprise! Want to see mine?

Well Thanks for reading my tales of woe and for stopping by Bearfolk! Hopefully things will start to look up and I will have a better update for you next time you happen to drop by!

Updated August 1st 2006 What a month July was! I was wonderfully surprised by my sisters and dear friends for a big birthday bash! I had a most wonderful day.. well actually I was still opening mail 3 days later...lol But my dear sisters and friends got together and made a very special page for me that was filled with wonderful gifts, siggys and memberships and graphics and adoptions and so much more! I also got a surprise package in the mail... One of my sweet sisters hand made a quilt for me ALL DRAGONS!!!! Wanna see? I just happen to have a photo hehehe Go HERE I am so proud of it and love it so much.. thank you sweet Jennifer!  It is absolutely beautiful! And I am sure it will keep me nice and cozy through the winter months! I hope to soon make a special page about my birthday and share with you all my wonderful gifts =)

Also new... I am proud to announce the Grand Opening of Dragon Doodles! This is a membership site that was born on July 30th! I am doing this with another special sister, Cally, and am so looking forward to being able to work with her! I am pretty proud of our site... if your looking for a fabulous, fresh site with new original things added all the time....Whether you're a person with lots of memberships, or just a few, and your looking for nice quality graphics, then this is the membership for you - Join now, you wont be sorry! hehe Not just saying this, come take a peek and see for yourself! Dragon Doodles

I have also did some updating to my pages. I am still working on a new layout and hope to have it up soon. But for now I have updated my main page and moved a few things around. I created a new support page and moved the graphics off the main page so that it would load faster... I was just getting too many graphics there.. lol  But actually that's a good thing... because it just goes to show I love to support others that need help or events that have marked our hearts and worth never forgetting. I have also updated my membership pages

OH and I added a new Sissy! OMG, how could I forget that! I got a new sissy in July! She is such a sweet lady. I met her through another one of my wonderful sissys... and we just hit it off! Her name is Michele.. and she has this wonderful sigtag club site... check her out! ::Michele::

***I have removed the link to some of my pages to be re-worked, one being my sisters. My family has grown so much that I really need to re-do this area and hope to have it back up soon!

More to come! The month has just started...lol

Updated July 2006

July 15th - added a wishlist on the request of several telling me it was needed...lol

sigh* again, lack of updates and I do apologize to those who have visited. So much has been going on in my life that it has been a whirlwind to even keep up with my memberships and friends. I have been terrible in keeping in touch with those close to me and only they know what all has been going on and I hope understand and forgive me. To sum 5 months up in what has been going on... let's see... health has been the biggest factor, a change in my lifestyle and income has been the most dramatic to have touched me and the hardest to adapt to, my computer... sigh - seems I am forever cursed and hacked and bedeviled with viruses. I have to ask... why me? Why can't I just have a good running computer and be free of all these viruses that seem to hack through all my heavily protected software. I mean I have such a defense system built up.. I could be Fort Knox...lol Yes... I have a firewall, anti virus protection and keep it updated (set to automatically update daily) and even have ad-aware, windows defender, spyblaster, and highjackthis... and yet.... I am riddled with viruses constantly. Format is my only option right now it seems, but yet, my cd burner has decided to not want to write to disk... it will let me read any disk ... and no problems! But try to back up my precious work, gifts and wonderful purchases... fat chance.

Let's see, what else has been going on...

I do however have my wonderful friends and sisters online.... without them, I would have never been able to deal with even half of the things that have made life so difficult. They have been my salvation and I love each and everyone of them.. they know who they are =) On the good side of things that have enriched my life these past few months... Let's see... I have had several good friends and sisters come forward and ask me to do a joint venture with them! I am so excited and so looking forward to each of these new ventures. I just hope I can keep up...lol My dear sister, Nocturnica and I will be opening a site together called "The Gypsy Wagon", a shop. We hope to be able to offer a unique variety of just fantasy stuff.  Then my dear sister Cally has asked me to come join her and help with her SigTag Club "Fantasy Dreams" which is already open and is still fairly new. I am really looking forward to making siggies!  Both these sites are still in the works and I will be sure to post here the grand opening of each... so be sure to check back! Lastly, but far from the least... My very first sister and closest friend of several years has rejoined the pixel world after a 4 year break! Eden has been a side kick for years - even before discovering the pixel community, we used to work together with The Beginners Korner in teaching people in how to use their psp and she was the one to introduce me to pixels. Then her interest carried her away into another direction for awhile... I guess you can say it was due to burnout... but I always hoped and prayed she would come back and she has!!!! AND she has come with a new energy and of course a game plan hehehe... we are going to be opening a shop together called "Flutter Beary Pals" and yep, you guessed it! Bears! Oh... it will have all the other little cuties... but bears will be our focus.  This shop is up and very new still.... come meet the flutters!

OH... I almost forgot! I won a years hosting and a domain name and have a new domain to be opening soon... Bears N' Tyme - domain: www.bearsntyme.com - I have yet to do anything here... but plan to use this site in conjunction to bearfolk and be my doodles of bears through the ages of time. I love all things medieval and plan to dress "my bears" to the dark ages and pre 16th century... this will be my dream site.

As for BearFolk.... I have redone my membership pages to be a stand alone pop-up to a new page area and have removed several links from the main page that I have yet had time to work on. OH... and I am also working on giving BearFolk a new look... so be sure to check back often and come see! Well that's it for now.... more to come soon!

Updated February 2006

Sorry for the lack of updates. So much has been going on these past couple of months and I am still trying to re-coop some of my losses. First, had the bad bout of the flu that was going around and with me and all my health issues, makes my tolerance a lot lower and takes me longer to get over any illnesses. Then my server crashed and I though I had everything backed up to disk, I had not backed for for the month of December due to being ill.. and so lost a lot of that. All my stuff I had on my site is on disk and was on my computer all nice and organized in their little folders so that I could page the adoptions I have bought and gifts I had received before my crash last August. I just never re-downloaded it from the site. Now with it all gone off the computer and the site.. I am having to go through all my disks and pull it back to my computer so that I can re-upload it all... what a circle! lol It's coming along.. slowly but surely... My adoptions shop is my first priority.. and have some up.. but no where near all I had before. Please, just be patient with me as I re-do it all and get it added back for you to adopt. I had bought a beautiful web set from Maely's.. and never got to show it off... well there is always next Christmas..lol My sissy Carin has been real ill and has had to step down at the forum and has graciously turned it over to me and another wonderful lady, Cally, to run. Let's see.. what else has been going on. Oh yeah! Magical Dreams Forum awarded Bearfolk's FIRST Site of the month award! wooohoooo! Wanna see?
