"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 
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

LuxembearsOh 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. 
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. 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:

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:
