Jellybelly Bears Oct 8, 2005

I didn't say anything yesterday as I wanted to be sure of what was going on....but I have some good news to share...I have been contacted by Bear Creations Magazine here in Australia.  I think it's the biggest Bear mag here so I was in utter shock when they wrote me!!!
I entered one of my Flutter Bears in the Adelaide show in August and won a first in section, rosette and gold star...They want to put a photo of her in their magazine but didn't know who the artist was, and have just discovered it was me by seeing one of my auctions on ebay.  The editor wrote to ask my permission to publish the photo, and read this:

"I also would like to interview you for the above article about ebay and, as I really love your designs, run a profile on you and your creations in a future issue."

How cool is that!!! She wants to interview me about an ebay article and do a profile on me and my bears :dance: I'm thrilled beyond words...2 magazines offers in twelve hours!! and to top it all off a previous ebay customer has ordered 3 bears from my website...I'm really in a state of shock and hope I don't wake up tomorrow and it's all a dream.  I didn't think I would ever get anywhere coz I'm so sick all the time which has been disappointing coz I love being a bear artist so much.

Anyway thank you for letting me share my excitement and hope I don't sound too boastful, I know it's not huge but I'm just soooo excited.    :dance:

Thankyou, thankyou, thankyou, I wish I could reply to you all and give each of you a huge hug and personal thankyou, each of your comments have made me feel so special...you girls are the greatest and I love being here :D

Well today I got another email from Bear Creations and I am putting a bear project in the next issue.  My Primrose goes in soon I guess when they feature the Adelaide show article.  In a few months they will do a profile...and some guy call Mike is going to ring me lol.  I think they are supposed to be interviewing me for an ebay article, but I'm not sure...I think Danni said she is doing the interview too so maybe they want Aussie ebayer input...

I have never written to these people or anything, so its just so funny that they were hunting me down from my bear in the show...I have a weird sense of humor and can imagine the PI's in trench coats lol  :lol:
I suppose it shows that it pays to put your bears in shows...I remember that was one of the first peiecs of advice I got from a bear artist...get your bears into shows...so do it everyone..it is well worth it.  :P

So I have two bear patterns to come up with and then all the other stuff to come...boy I'm going to be busy...anyone want to help sew with me...bickies and tea will be served lol

Sarah and Danni I am so thrilled for both of you.  I get just as excited seeing you ladies getting recongnized for your great work as I would if it were me !  BIG HUGS !  :hug:
