TY TY TY TY TY!, Lynette, for ending my suspense!! I just read your thread in Show Reports - and was looking at that stunning multicolored rossette/ribbon, and wondering how in the world I can get one of those GREAT Tshirts, when I did a Double Take and your words sank in - "Hey, that's my Bob/Grizzly that the girl is holding!!"
I haven't read my email for the day yet - and am delighted to see that Bob is that only US entry that placed! I'm Over The Moon and finding it hard to keep my feet on the ground to do my own private Happy Dance!!
Thx for that great compliment, Thx, Lynette! Didn't realize it was me - or Bob. I'm a little muzzy-brained from meds and I'm feeling like I'm about 3 beats behind the rest of the world!
Bob is name that (he's called Lazy Grizzly Bear on the Comp List) because I started to do my Dad & his siblings this year, so far I've done Russell, Warren & now Bob. Madelyn and Katherine come next, but not grizzlies for my Aunts!
I think it was Paula or Dilu or Someone who was commenting on how to enter comps and which shows to enter - for different reasons. It's the same principle I follow. Entries that fit a 4" x 6" vertical photo format as different from bears that must be seen in person. That's why Bob traveled to Taiwan. There is so much motion in his posture that it just doesn't show in photos and he's best view horizontally. It takes several pix to be seen from all sides, so in-person was the only format for him.
Here is Lynette's pic in Taipei, and 3 of mine. I'm still grinning like a FOOL!!!!
And I still want THAT Tshirt!! Who do I write to???

Thx So much everyone! Whether it's a first or a one hundred and first, the excitement of seeing one's name listed is just as exciting and never fades. It's what sends us on into the next year's program!
Wooo Hoo to all of the International award nominations - and don't forget that's it's only about 6 weeks left for TOBY's & Golden Teddies' deadlines!
Dear dear Bobbie,
The competition was tough with many excellent pieces of work submitted - just entering a competition is a challenge as you have your piece on display with judges looking for all the flaws and none of us want to be told anything "bad" about our work.
Bobbie is a person who readily gives out information here on TT - what an asset you are to the bear world.
I will find out about the T Shirts if they are still available anyone wanting one can perhaps contact me with a size- I am not sure if a limited number were printed for the staff.
Lynette
I know that Berta & I definitely want one!
She's probably a Ladies Medium, but I'll check with her. And I'll take the very largest size available.
THANK you!
I have just spoken to Taiwan and the T Shirts are available from Darren. The have a website with lots of interesting things on it. They were one of the sponsors for the show this year.
Here is the contact info. of Mr. Darren Booker (The Bear Club) darren_booker@hotmail.com
that you can post on the Teddy-Talk, if people are interesting in their products.

We have a few more ideas for next year's show something to look forward to.
Lynette
I know its kind of late but never late than never, Congrats bobbie... and lynette is right, the competition was very tough. lots of great works and winning this is not that easy.. :clap: :clap: I was lucky to have the shirt... im sure lynette will get back to you regarding the details to order the shirt.

Congratulations to Bobbie and Bob! He's so cute and I especially like the derriere shot...the way one little leg is out and the other tucked.

Hi! Lynette, Welcome back! will there be more pictures to be shared of the Show in Taiwan? And do you know when they will be mailing back our bears? I will look forward to my bear coming back. I posted my panda here to show everyone in here. :hug: :hug:
I would very much like a T-shirt since this was my first time ever particiapating all across the world. Hope they have a small size I was so excited when I sent my bear to Taiwan,Just the thought of thinking that my bear was in Tawian,made me happy and I will be ready to recieve him when he is sent back to me. :hug: :hug:
Mary. I wrote to Darren about ordering 2 T shirts anfd he wrote back in a few hours! He said S, M &L - and that they run large..
Hi
Thanks for the email. I am happy you like the t-shirts from the show. We do have some still for sale, but we only have small, medium and large. Although, the large is pretty big. I am not a small guy, and it fits me fine.
If you are interested I can let you have them for £6.50 each, plus £2.00 for postage. Which country are you in? I often send small parcels home to England and they usually cost around £2.00. I also have some lovely Bear Club mouse mats if you are interested. They are £2.50 each.
For payment, I can send a paypal request to your email where you can pay by credit card. Then I can mail them to you.
Hope this is all ok for you. Any questions just email me.
Regards
Darren
