The Beanwatcher has posted a wonderful note for the New Year to look back on 2006. Here is an exerpt: "As 2006 comes to an end, I'd like to thank everyone who made this year memorable. As many of you know, I retired the Bean Watcher site last year. After doing so, I heard from many readers, encouraging me to resurrect it. After months of indecision, I decided to return -- on a temporary basis -- and did so during May 2006. Since then, it has been a pleasure hearing from many of you and sharing the joys of our pastime." "One of my goals has been to give you a greater appreciation of beanbag collecting throughout the world. Why? Because Ty collectors can be found worldwide. Another goal has been to inform and educate. Why? To enhance your enjoyment of the beanies you collect. If I have attained these goals, then updating this site has been worth my time. Thanks again to all who made 2006 a year to remember"

Beanies In The News: Click the title link for each news article quoted to read the entire article. Off season interesting for Hendry, Cubs - in more ways than one "President Andy MacPhail resigned before the season ended, and manager Dusty Baker was quickly ushered out behind him, leaving Hendry to fix a team gone horribly wrong. ...Though McDonough has been with the Cubs since 1983 - he started the trend of teams giving away Beanie Babies - it is Hendry who will get the credit or the blame for this rebuilding effort." In New Hampshire, a Texas-Size Love of Rodeo " Jennifer Rokes will ride into New York City next weekend in her Dodge pickup, but she would rather come by stagecoach. ...When she is not working or riding Dream, her 22-year-old chestnut mare, Rokes is in any town that stages a rodeo. With no cowboys competing in her neck of the woods, she made the four-hour round trip to Castleton, Vt., each weekend from July through Labor Day to attend the Pond Hill Rodeo. ...Along her happy trails, Rokes has corralled some unusual pieces of memorabilia, including a Justin McBride clock, Cody Hart and Jerome Davis Beanie Babies, and plastic figurines of Mossy Oak Mudslinger and two other tough bulls, Little Yellow Jacket and Blueberry Wine." Khan Bani Sa’ad citizens receive medical care "Blackanthem Military News, KHAN BANI SA’AD, Iraq - Soldiers from the 3rd Battalion, 2nd Brigade, 5th Iraqi Army and 1-12 Combined Arms Battalion, 3rd Brigade Combat Team, 1st Cavalry Division, conducted a combined medical engagement for the citizens of Khan Bani Sa’ad Thursday." "During the CME, medics from the Iraqi Army treated over 300 men, women and children who were suffering from minor illnesses or injuries. Medical supplies were also provided to those in need and were used to supplement the clinic’s supplies." "Aside from providing medical care, the soldiers also passed out 250 blankets to local families, Beanie Babies, and 200 soccer balls to local children." "According to Coalition Forces from 1-12 CAB, the citizens were blessing and thanking the Coalition and Iraqi forces, praying for their safety as they returned to their base." Abandoned buildings inspire Clinton girl's photography "Megan Baker sees the world differently than most 15-year-olds. She looks at things through the lens of a camera. 'When I was 4, I picked up a Polaroid and starting taking pictures of my toys,' said Baker. After the toys, Baker moved on to Beanie Babies and her dog as subjects. Weldon Springs State Park and concerts by pop-rock artist Gavin DeGraw also were among Baker's favorite venues as she continued to grow up with a camera hanging from her neck." Mids host holiday dinner at the Naval Medical Center "Ms. Green said their 'many kindnesses made for many smiles on the families’ faces at the end of the evening.' Another example of thinking of others was shared with me by Nancy Edwards, a first grade teacher at Georgetown East Elementary School. The week before Christmas, two volunteers from the Assistance League of the Chesapeake, who have been working with her for some time, provided holiday smiles for her 15 students. Maureen Smith wanted to so something for the youngsters last summer and decided to knit scarves in blue and white, the school colors. “I just wanted the children to have something warm for the winter,” she said. 'What a wonderful gift! The children wore their scarves to the school’s holiday concert. They looked cozy and cute,' Mrs. Edwards said. Mrs. Smith’s friend Marge Clemente also considered what to do for the children and donated Beanie Babies. 'These kids love us like a grandmother,' said Mrs. Clemente, who volunteers in the class" Hendry looking like a shopaholic "Though McDonough has been with the Cubs since 1983 -- he started the trend of teams giving away Beanie Babies -- it's Hendry who will get the credit or the blame for this rebuilding effort." Beanie Universe is going into business as a Secondary Dealer and will be opening an online store at midnight! Beanie Universe began this year in 2006 and is known for it's daily Beanie Baby themed video news.
