Jane Marie proudly presents

Our Mascots

 

Once upon a time, there were two sisters who were very different.  However, things were so cordial between them they decided to work together to build a really interesting website - better than the average bear ever dreamed possible.  Yes, business writer Nancy Kamp and the Gracious Jane Marie, author of historical romance, put their heads together and produced greenlightWRITE.com (Nancy's writing samples and enormous quotation collection), MadWebLackey.com (a weblog for slightly weird small business owners), EternityGarden.com (a special place to remember pets loved and lost), and GraciousJaneMarie.com (a celebration of HEART & HOME).

But there were problems in paradise.  Geography and the fortunes of time and chance ensured that the sisters were domiciled in different states.  One kept a huge flock of dogs; the other was a confirmed cat person.  Tension mounted.  Conflicts arouse.  A solution was sought.

And found.  Mascots.

Teddy Bear mascots.  For even two sisters who supported such diverse football teams as the Florida State Seminoles and the University of Oklahoma Sooners, yes, even two such as these both loved Teddy Bears.

So they chose up sides in the Teddy Bear Wars.  And so can you.

"It's Teddy Bear Wars, a conflict without loss of stuffing."  Nancy Kamp

UPDATE:  We bought the domain name TeddyBearWars.com.  But it never did feel right, so we didn't renew our ownership.  And now someone else has it.  Good luck to them.

 

Martha Bear® of MarthaBear.com

Jane Marie loves all things fancy and so does her Martha Bear®, named for our mother who was born Martha Marie.

This Martha often wears a T shirt that says, "It's a better thing©," and thinks you should, too.  Bless her for her contributions to our business.

Martha is our Senior Ursine Editor in Florida.  She is a serious scholar and suggested the title as soon as she found out that "ursine" comes from "ursus," the Latin for bear.

 

 

Bear With No Name, aka Teddy O™ of TeddyO.com

Nancy's husband Cary found an unnamed bear [aka Bear With No Name] on a picnic table in Belgium, where the poor little thing had been abandoned in the rain.  He still smells a bit, but has a Heart of Gold*.

His favorite T shirt, "Nicer than Martha©," may reveal he's not a true gentleman, but we believe he's making a real effort.

This teddy bear holds the title of Senior Ursine** Editor, Oklahoma Division, with greenlightWRITE.com.

Bulletin:  No Name has a name!  We've chosen the winner in our Name Our Mascot ContestClick here for details.

 

*Footnote having nothing whatsoever to do with Teddy Bears (and only one head in case you're a fan of the late Douglas Adams).  He chronicled the theft of the Heart of Gold spaceship by Zephod Beeblebrox, the two-headed President of the Galaxy, in his wonderful Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series.
