Hi
I think I put my pictures in the wrong place so I am putting them here instead. I am delighted to have had four short listings.
Is everyone who has been nominated going? Last year, I took Chloes entry with me and I would be happy to do the same for anyone that cannot go this year.
Anyhow, if I can remember how to upload photos, here are my entries:
Category 3 - Dressed Bear 6 - 15 inches - Purple
Category 4 - Large Undressed Bear - James
Category 5 - Large Dressed Bear - David
Category 8 - Large Group - Playtime with Grandad
Good luck to everyone else who has been nominated - I look forward to meeting you all in Hove.

It will be lovely to see you there Pauline. I am really excited about the show this year. You may not remember but this time last year I was in a bit of a sorry state with the Bells Palsy. It has been a bit of a tough year but touch wood everything is pretty much back to normal. We really must do lunch sometime. 
Oh Many Congrats Dawn :clap: :clap: Your bears are always so beautiful
I will be going to Hove, looking forward to meeting you and your bearsHugs :hug:

Thank you Sandra, the one in the red hat is inspired by the poem 'When I am old will purple........' I wear a lot of purple myself!

TeenytinyteddybearsI love them all. Dawn, is Purlpe inspired by a poem? My Mom is always on about the red hat thing and I cant find that poem. She has it on her sewing room wall. And I am soooo in love with James. His face is just like my big bear I got when I was a child. I still have him but he is living with my Mom's hug because he was too big to come with us.
TeenytinyteddybearsI found the poem, and found that there was a society too. I really feel daft now. Never realised there was such a following for Red hats and purple.

Thank you for your lovely comments. Purple was inspired by the poem Warning by Jenny Joseph, I have always loved that poem but it means more now that I have got to the 'growing old disgracefully' stage. I think the society is mainly in the USA although I did see on our local news the other day that there are a few groups in the UK.

Pearl Button BearsHI!
Im going to with my shortlisted bear! We live in Bournemouth so I guess were not too far away... have booked the day off work and feel bit exited and a lot nervouse. I would love to meet as many of you as I can... however Im sooo shy if you see a strange woman looking at you with an almost trying to catch your eye look on her face and chewing her lips THATS ME!!!! :redface:
Dawn I love your bears and cant wait to see them in the flesh along with some other fluffy lovelies! I would like to bite James... or share a cuddle and cake with him one or the other!
Hope to see you all there... in the style of a stalker!

FenBeary FolkHi Julie (Pearl Button Bears)
I think I am 1 of your competition (catagory 9), your bears is gorgeous, so I did do a little groan, when I saw him 
But it will great to meet you, anyway :hug:
Dawn I do remember you being unwell last year, so glad you have got better. Yes we will definately get around to lunch soon. :hug: :hug:
Pauline
Pearl Button BearsHi Sue,
Oh yes Im cat 9 too! I wouldn't groan too loud your bears are lovely!!! I hope to meet you too... its a bit nerve wracking but Im trying not to think about it until then... who knows what bears will float there boats!!!
Were are all going to have to wear something to identify each other... Im rubbish with faces! I will no doubt have a coat, winter boots and a badge some where on my coat... probably a Kermit the frog badge! So that's me!
Hugs :hug:

NOPE, they are over here in Aust as well. You cant stop disgraceful women from growing old. 
All the best with your nominees :dance: :dance:
puca bearsWish I was coming too - but for the third year running, the fates have conspired against us!
Gemma ( :hug: :hug:) is taking my bears in for me, so as usual, I'll be perched on the edge of my seat waiting for news!
I hope the show goes well - and one thing is guaranteed - you'll all have a GREAT time!

Hello Everyone,
I finally found my picture of Little kendra , she is on her way to the BBAA. Unfortunately I can't be there. BUT hopefully some NICE teddy talkers can take pictures of all the entries and share them with us.
Kendra is a little one only measuring in at 4 inches.
Thanks again and GOOD LUCK.
I love James too
I am going too, so getting excited now
Big congrats on your 4 nominations you must be thrilled :dance:
Thank you - it's getting close now.

LOL- I'm sure James would love to share some cake with you, and if heneeds help with it.....
From the posts on this thread I would guess that those of you that are going have not got tables booked. I have a table at Hove, I will be on the first floor just outside of the big hall. Hugs Unlimited. There will be lots of choccies on my table so please come and visit. It will be nice to put some names to faces - of course I already know some of you.
