It’s official, we are having a contest!! No purchase necessary, and you’re not even required to follow our blog! All you have to do is participate. So, why would we be giving away an amazing, handmade collectible for a prize??
Well… we just want you to know the truth. That’s all. Throughout the years, many people have been allowed to give their opinions on our business. And, as soon as we have posted our side of the story with links to credible resources, our information has been removed. It is because many people (Berta’s friends) have not wanted the truth out there. So, we are using this contest as a lighthearted way to encourage people to seek the truth.
We haven’t given up on the contest, for those of you that have been waiting. We’ve been waiting for Bobbie Ripperger to clear up her mess. She has mislead and lied to many people throughout the years. She knows that we still own Thread Bears®, and she knows that our disclaimer had nothing to do with that separate registration, just with the one we were applying for. Since we have put her on the spot to tell what she knows, Boisterous Bobbie has turned mute…at least, publically.
We know she is still involved, still lying. It’s communications such as this that show that people follow Bobbie’s misunderstandings, and it shows that they don’t stand up for what’s right.

Our response…
So, in this contest, we will be putting out a new section every week, for a series of weeks. Each week, a portion of the contest will be revealed that you will need to respond to. Nothing is made up or changed. It will be words from the person’s own mouth–or fingers, rather. We are using their own words to show what they’ve done. We will give all of the contest information in the upcoming posts, so check back!
P.S. Berta, have you checked with your lawyer to see if you can infringe on our mark? Still waiting to see that letter…
