Wow Janet!!! What a wonderful display, and a great contribution to the promotion of the teddy bear!! Well done!!    

Janet,
     Simply an amazing display of wonderful bears and a wealth of information on the art and collecting of teddies.  It's really beautiful and you should be incredibly pleased with yourself.  Daphne's right - you couldn't have picked a better month!  I'm sure that it will be a VERY popular display!  It would be interesting to leave a book so people could leave their comments about the display.  I'd love to read some of them.
                                                        hugs,

                                                        Brenda

Janet, your display is amazing. 
When I first saw your post my initual reaction was WOW.
Now that I have seen all the pics it's WOWWWWWWW!!!!!!!
             

Janet you ROCK!!  What a fabulous & informative display you've created!!   I wish I could see it up close and in person!   You've totally inspired me to put on my thinking cap for local displays.

Janet: This is the very best, of the best promotional ideas for teddies, I have seen in a very long time.

Everyone can see you have put a great deal of thought and effort into this display...it's absolutely superb. This is a great example of your dedication to teddy bears              

You win my TEDDY BEAR AMBASSADOR award for 2007!

EDIT: I just love your teddy bear Christmas tree.

I second that nomination, you did a great Job and what a great way to get the word and your works out there.

Wow Janet, you have done such a terrific job with your display.  All us teddy artists owe you a big vote of thanks for helping to promote our precious teddies and their history.  It all looks so interesting that I don't think anyone could walk past it without stopping to look.  I just wish I could see it in person.  I agree, Teddy Ambassador for 2007 should go to Janet for all this hard work and dedication to the Teddy Bear.

The library display was up for one month and taken out.  It was a success in that the library got many wonderful comments on the display and it was written up in the local paper so many people went to see it.  They want me to do another in the future and I signed up.  There is a two year waiting list but I asked to be notified if there is a cancellation and I am the first pick if that comes up.  I will do another theme such as Teddy Bears and Literature or something else.  Any suggestions?   

     Here are photos of the take out crew.  One of myself  and the second of my three sons who were here for Christmas and very handy for packing up everything and doing all the carrying.
