I have to admit, "the tables are turned"    Last year I announced the nominees and I can't remember which one of our TTer's it was? But they wouldn't believe it when I told them about their nomination until they heard it from Mindy. I thought;  Why wouldn't they believe me   Now I KNOW! IT is really hard to believe you are nominated or have won! There are so many great entries and you always see something in yours that you might have changed    I thought my photo was dark and not very clear.
Scott! Do you know how hard it was for me to miss this TOBY Awards Dinner!! This is the first TOBY Awards I have missed in seven years. IT really hurt! But this is my full-time job. I have no other income. I love the ART of teddy bears and when I go into my studio that is ALL I am concerned with, but when I come out I have to be very careful about shows. I have already attended two wholesale shows this year and that's my limit. I hope next year the situation will be kinder

Congrats to the winners and the nominees!  :clap:  :clap:  :clap:  :clap:  :clap:  :clap:

Do we have an official list somewhere????

NewelleyBears Jul 4, 2007

First Off,
It's sooo cool that this many of our very own forum members were nominated for these prestigious awards to begin with.  It's even better to know that so many were also rewarded for the hard work they put into the bears and for making this industry what it is...A wonderful group of artists who pride themselves on always putting 150% into everything they do and are just amazing people to know and be associated with. 

Congrats To Everyone Both Nominated & Award Recipients...

You Have Made Us All VERY Proud!!!

As requested, here are photos of my winners.

This is 'Jessica'.

and this is 'Moonbeam' who you will probably recognise from my avatar!!

Thank you for all the kind words and congratulations.  I said to my husband yesterday, that the nicest thing about winning is being able to share it with people on TT, who understand what it is all about, and how important these things are to us.  So thank you all so much for that!
