Interesting that some people have two nominations in the same category, and some of them must have spent a FORTUNE with all their entries!!! And the one name missing - Karin de Lorenzo - she must be taking a break from competitions, as she didn't feature in the TOBYs or Golden Teddy

puca bearsOnce again - many thanks for all your kind comments - they really mean a lot to me! and I'm so glad you like the Blings! They were made from a piece of hand-dyed mohair from Barbara-Ann - at the time, I thought it was a bit on the bright side (!) but decided it would be a challenge for me. The "accessories" were such fun - real kiddie play time stuff!
Incidentally, for those of you who are unfamiliar with the Golden George competition - you can check it out on www.teddybaertotal.de .... and isn't it a NICE trophy!!!
