This is the first TOBY Awards I have missed in 7 years 
I couldn't make it to Las Vegas this year. I've been checking everywhere and there is no News! What happened? Did anyone get, almost, arrested like I did last year 
. WHo won, what? How did it all go? The TOBY's are always exciting 
My guess is that Judi won the one category that I was nominated for and I would be fine with that, but how did everyone else fare? I guess I'm sort of an awards show groupie. I love the excitement and congratulating the winners, and yes, I don't NEED to win to enjoy the Show :dance:

I've been looking out for info all day too!! I was hoping someone who was there may have taken note of all the winners and shared it with us. I'm trying to be patient - but not very successfully!!!! 
puca bearsMe TOO!!!!! And patience is definitely NOT one of my virtues...

Maria
Dolls N DreamsMe too, I didnt get to go and was waiting to hear all the news!
My Fairy Doogle Theo was in the contest 
Bears by EdieGlad to hear that I am not the only who has been checking on here (like hourly) to see if someone has listed the winners! I kept thinking that for sure you would post it, Karen, but that explains it now that I know you weren't even there! 
I really don't think I had much hope of a win with all the GREAT competition there but I can't wait to see who the winners are in all the different categories! Judi, Shelli, where are you???? Don't keep us in suspense!!!
Me too and I wasn't even nominated I just love to share the excitement with those that were nominated and won !
Posts: 3,540ACCK!!! No one's there to report to us??? 
Nuts, we'll be on pins and needles....and I think its worse for Tami as she's got a piece nominated!! Off to pace a bit more.... 
Delartful BearsLOL I am sure we'll get a report just as soon as someone can
But hurrry up!!! LOL Of course, just kidding!
I wish EVERYONE the best of lucky and my fingers are crossed that EVERYONE tied, so everyone won! :crackup: :crackup:

The kids and teddy tooWell I am glad that I am not the only one waiting to find out something. I could not go either as much as I would have liked to go.
I keep checking to see if Sheli has posted something. I guess we know something soon.

I had totally forgotten that the awards were being announced this weekend.
Good luck to all those nominated!!!
NOW the suspense is killing me!!
I'm back home. I visited IDEX yeterday but didn't attend the award ceremony last night or visit IDEX today, and I haven't seen anyone who was at IDEX since yesterday afternoon -- a few hours before the banquet. I'm sure someone who was there will post soon!
I got to see Judi's excellent lion in person and hold it, too. It's absolutely gorgeous.
Pics to follow. I'm literally JUST in the door after a nearly two hours drive from the airport, and have to get dinner. Those who attended and had tables at IDEX have only finished up the show just a few hours ago and will likely be in transit back home tonight. I know Mindy's in Vegas til Monday; not sure of Judi's travel plans. And I know Donna/Scott (Bruin Sisterhood) are driving so they'll be home late too.
Sorry I can't be of more help!
Tami Eveslage Original Teddy BearsI've been watching for news too.
Welcome back Shelli. Hope the trip home was uneventful!
Jellybelly BearsOh exciting waiting, can't imagine how nominees are coping lol. Welcome back Shelli :hug: . Can't wait for the photos!
Donna's Duin BruinsI'm afraid that Scott, Diana and I did not go to the awards ceremony. I know we were bad, but it was Diana's birthday.
We ask for a print out of winners but did not get one. Here is all I know, Karen is the winner in her catagory and our little Miss Silly Bear took her catagory and wait for the drum roll.........Best of Show!
Sorry I don't have more info for you.
It was a great show and Mindy did a fantastic job. Every one needs to plan to come next year!
It is 5:20 am and I just got home from an all night drive, so I am off to bed.
Bear Hugs,
Donna
