I have 5 days before I do the open house at The Museum Center at 5ive Points. I'm excited now because I have gotten a lot accomplished. Sunday, November 5, 2006 my neighbor came over and handed me the Sunday Newspaper. I couldn't believe the pictures and how much exposure the Museum got. My furry teddies were in the paper. I couldn't believe my eyes!! Sebastain made the front page of the Cleveland Daily Banner. Well, I was excited to see them and thought I would share. I better get back to work. Have a wonderful week!!! I'll be back next week with a full report of how the open house went.

Wow, you go girl! Those pictures are fantastic and that is exactly the kind of broad coverage that the teddy bear artist needs right now. Just think of all the eyes your bears have widened, and all the new converts to the cause this may bring.

Congratulations, AND thank you!!!

That's beyond cool Melissa! So exciting for you and we are all excited for you too! As Shelli said, this is sure to open new eyes to the Teddy Bear world and such great advertising for you!
When I first saw your email about them giving you such short notice, my first reaction was to advise you to say no as they didn't offer enough prep time. But you got great suggestions from the girls here about how to turn a rather daunting task into a doable one and it has been a wonderful lesson for us all.
Have a wonderful weekend and enjoy being 'star for a day'...what a wonderful ambassador you are...and a brilliant artist to boot! :hug:
