Gaby and Catherine.....thanks, my friends!!!
I did post the pics a while back when we were all showing our entries.....if you want to see them again, it'll have to wait till the weekend......himself - "he who can DO complicated things on the computer" (unlike me - the original Luddite) is working in Italy at the moment, and only home for weekends.....
and I'm stuck with the "tragedy queen" - the "where's my daddy?" dog!!! Ho hum....

Thanks , Lisa and Gemma......
and Gemma - I read in your posts that you felt you were up against people who've been making bears for years....DON'T do yourself down, girl!!!! Your bears are absolutely gorgeous - and my goodness- last year you were the WINNING "newcomer" , and now???? Be proud of yourself!!! You deserved the nominations.
And lucky you - you will actually be there...... last year those of us who weren't had a LONG wait to get our bears back - but to be fair to Wendy, she had to spend time in hospital after Xmas to have a knee operation

Hi Judi
what a nice thing to say...thankyou!  And it is exciting - the nominations are always the BEST part of competitions - a whole mob of us can feel pleased for ourselves and each other....no nerves just yet!
You'll have to wait till tomorrow for the pics - I'm totally useless at such things, and never seem to have time to learn!  Jeremy is currently working away from home, and won't be back till late tonight.....and boy has he got LOTS to do this weekend!!!!

Awe AMEN to this Maria! :clap:  :clap:  :clap:  It's that nice warm, fun, wow, magical feeling that we all share together....liek an equal palyingfeild.  I love that.
It's always a bit sad when the results come out because of the disappointment factor....been there.

puca bears Oct 20, 2007

Judi - it's the nature of the game - someone is always going to be disappointed! But the magic occasions when it isn't YOU are pretty darn good, aren't they!

Judi Oct 20, 2007

YES Maria,  That is so true.  In fact I think it makes the winning that much more beautiful and meaningful when you have also felt the other side.  It make you appreciate it more.

Great pictures by the way.  What talent we have on this board.     :hug:
