Hi Tami,

Well done on getting your award, so big CONGRATULATIONS!!  Very well deserved!

Hugs

Marilyn

Weee!  I am so excited for you!!!!  The little one you have chosen is beautiful, such a super little expression too!!  I should think you found it
extremely difficult having to tear yourself away from an hour with those little beauties and I would personally find it impossible to chose my new
friend from that lovely litter.  Can't wait to see more piccies of her as she is finding her feet and having fun!  Enjoy!

Hugs

Marilyn

Ann-Marie,

I have already emailed you about your bear!!!!  Take a little look!!!

Hi Julia,

It was really lovely to meet you and have a chat yesterday, your table looked super and I am delighted that you had a really enjoyable day.  Hope
Mark enjoyed himself too! (you'll soon get him trained!)

But you are a little monkey - (but thank you for the mention) :redface:  :redface:  :redface:   
My bear "Persimmon" came 2nd in Category 4.  It was my first competition so I was somewhat shocked!

There were quite a few TT-ers who also received awards yesterday and hopefully there will be a list somewhere detailing the full results, but can I
just congratulate everyone, in particular Ruth, Claire, Shelly, Pauline, Julie, Lorraine, Maria, Ann-Marie and .. oh, how annoying, I can't remember a couple of names at this moment, I do apologise, but we had such a lovely chat too!  Mmm, having another senior moment!!!  sorry!     I am sure there are plenty of others too.

Hugs to everyone. :hug:

I really needed something to make me smile today!!

What beautiful smart dogs, I wonder what they are like with housework???

Marilyn 

Big congratulations Claire!  I know how you are feeling as this will be my first time too and I have no idea what we have to do or when we have to get there.

Does anyone know???

So enjoy your day and good luck with your nomination.  Look forward to meeting you amidst all the bears!

Marilyn

Hi Maria,

Oh golly, I am so sorry to hear of your missing bear, I would be distraught if I was to lose a bear like that.  I hope
that you soon have good news and your lovely creation reaches its destination.

Hi there everyone,

I feel quite embarrassed doing this as I am not one who likes to "blow their own trumpet" but I thought people may think me strange if I didn't say anything, but I am tickled pink to have also received a nomination for one of my bears in the British Bear Artist Awards.  :redface:  :redface:

I have been going through a horrid time recently one way or another and visiting hospitals on virtually a daily basis,   so receiving a little gold rosette in the post was indeed a wonderful glimmer of hope that maybe things may start to look up for me and my family in the coming months.

My little bear, or should I say "big" bear, who has been nominated is "Persimmon" at 22", an armful of cuddly mischief, and entered into the "Undressed" category.  I hope you like him.

Take care everyone, hope you're all keeping well.

Hugs,

Marilyn

Hello Ann-Marie,  

Many congratulations on your nomination - I bet you are thrilled!! :dance:  :dance:  :dance:  :clap:

Your rosette should be winging its way to you in the post!!

Hugs

Marilyn

Wow!  How exciting!!!   CONGRATULATIONS Dawn!!!!!!!  You will do a fantastic job and I am really delighted for you.  Well done.  :clap:  :clap:  :clap:
