Yes that's our guys Karen, you were very observant  bear_grin.  Steve and I are so excited we can hardly contain ourselves.  It's been difficult not to say anything as I wanted it to be a surprise until the magazine came out, (even our closest friends don't know that we made the cover, they know there was an article about us but that was it).  I never thought it would happen to us but it did and it's like a dream come true.  I'm really looking forward to seeing the magazine and the article , it was so much fun to do and Mindy is the best to work with and we have enjoyed the experience sooo much. 

We actually just saw the cover last night for the first time and we looked like idiots with stupid grins on our faces and giggling when we saw it.  Steve has been telling Mindy that he's so excited he's gonna pee his pants  :crackup:  :crackup:  :crackup: (it's possible that he might when he see's the magazine in person  bear_grin )

Thanks everyone for all your congrats it's really appreciated.  I am posting a pic of the cover for you all to see.

big hugs 

Shane

Thanks so much Carolyn I'm glad you like the bear and bunny, the bunny we made exclusively for the Toy Shoppe in Virginia along with some of our other funky little bears.  It"s true though I really did think Steve was gonna pee  :redface:  he was so excited.

Amy thanks as well you are a sweetie and looking forward to seeing you again.

Hey Steve and Shane- how great is that to be on the cover!!!- Way to go eh!! I am leaving for the USA on Mon so hope to pick up the magazine down there
I can remember way back when I first met you two at a bear show in Toronto and you wondered if you should even attempt a bear show. I told you to just jump in and try it and now look what's happened to you two- you are famous!!!!

Great cover, very eye catching and so appealing, as a mom of boys, you really captured that little boy look,  when my littlest was about 4 he wore a backwards cap just like that, I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Awwww thanks Gail, Daphne, Louise and Jodi.  It is truly a huge honour to be on the cover of TB&F and yes Gail I do remember us being talked into doing our first show.  Daphne we will have to get a picture of you as well I want to be able to tell everyone that I do know  the famous Mimzy Maker  :dance: .

Jodi we are still little boys at heart, anyone who has met us will tell you we are still very child like   :redface: . 

I remember when we did Schaumburg for the first time two yrs ago,  we walked in the room to set up our table and both of us were almost sick to our stomaches and wondering what we were doing there.  Then to top it all off we had Michelle Lamb set up her table just around the corner from us, now that was intimidating but she's a super nice person but we still felt sick  bear_grin .

Hey bro' - you two must be SO pleased.....and you really deserve it!!! I did comment on another thread - but in case you missed it - humungous congratulations to you both!  Now you can have the fun of seeing your creations on show in all the shops which carry bear mags......a friend here got a front cover on one of the German magazines and every time I saw bear mags on display, I rearranged them so hers was on top....missed out on mine tho - KiXXi was on the front of the TBCI which doesn't appear here.....
c'est la vie!!!
have a great Easter
