I also am the delighted recipient of 2 wins in the TBAAF Awards! After seeing all the entries I didn't think there was much chance I'd win anything - and not having a web site to promote my bears - so was doubly thrilled to get the results.

Edie

I wouldn't have been suprised. I looked at the winners last night and saw that you had first place for your Jungle animals. I wasn't suprised at all. Well earned and deserved. They were simply amazing. There was a discussion on how many bears did you have to make in order to be considered a professional, it seems that many people believe once you sell bears you are a professional. A true artist I think is another thing all together. I sell bears but do not consider myself an artist yet. When I can make a teddy bear or animal and feel that I can put it next to yours and not feel like a novice, then I will consider myself an artist. You've set a bar that I strive to meet with your detail and character, and I'm a long way off.

You do amazing work, and deserve the awards.

Hugs

Amber

Wow! That is high praise, Amber - you've really made my day!
