"edited at - too early in the morning - after a good laugh with someone who told me"
I am laughing at myself Judi - typo girls strike again.  :crackup:  :crackup:  :crackup:
I meant deserved... as I know you know but, I left it so you can have a good laugh. I don't think I can even blame that one on a typo error.... just a big "DUH" day. too funny...  :crackup:

Judi,
Just Beautiful! I love the color and the contrast of the white rabbits. Great minds think alike  bear_tongue  I had just received some red velvet I had ordered from Canada and I was going to create a cat Red Riding Hood with a mouse in a basket of food. But it will have to be another character. You have Red Riding Hood wrapped-up  bear_thumb

Oh my gosh!  THANK YOU SO MUCH for such supportive and beautiful comments.  It couldn't have come at a better time.  I am struggling right now with a serious problem with my right eye.  It has gone blurry. It happend Feb 1st. bear_cry  I had an emergency visit to the eye doc today and have to go back for an angiogram on Thrusday.  I have a blister of fluid in my retina.  Many of you know that I have diabetic since the age of 12 which I battle with daily, however this is not diabetes related.  I either have macular degeneration or serous retinopathy.  I will know more on Thursday and am hoping for the latter of the two.  I can hardly type right now as my eyes were dialated today so this is my excuse for any and all typos.


When Stephanie Finnegan from Teddy Bear Review contaced me in Oct 2006 and asked me if I would like some 'big exposure' I was excited.  When she told me if I would like to be on the front cover I was just over the moon...and I still have not come back to earth yet.  I am so honored and pleased beyond words to be on the cover of such a beautful and fabulous magazine.   bear_flower   This is truely a shining moment for me.  And do you all know how hard it was for me to keep quiet!!!???

Tomorrow I will scan the cover for you.  Tami L, Sarah, and Kim are also in this issue (forgive me if I forgot someone.) :clap:  :clap:  :clap:


Thank you so much :hug:  :hug:  :hug:  :hug:

Judi, you are most definitely in my prayers.  It's no secret I'm a big fan of St Francis of Assisi, well his best friend in life was St Clare. She's the Patron Saint of eye disorders and she will be with you bear_wub

I got my copy of TBR last night and it's an awesome cover and story!!  Taking people through the planning, intricate detailings and timeline of a creation is fantastic! :clap:  :clap:  You're an inspiration Judi and should be so proud!  Please take care and know I'm thinking of you :hug:

Judy , I will lift you in prayer also. And if every one will pray with me we can expect good things to happen .


Please Dear GOD hear our prayers..We lift Judy up to You , You know every thing about her and what all needs to be healed. We just pray in Jesus name that You will be with the doctors and give them wisdom. And be with Judy , take away her fear and replace it with peace. We pray that you will heal her and restore her health. In Jesus name. Amen .

  Now... Judy go forth in peace and throw away the fear!!
