I'm not sure when the TOBY 2009 award winners will be published ... has anyone heard anything yet? Good luck wishes to everyone who is waiting hopefully! 
I was wondering the same thing myself. I would have thought there would be someone posting something by now.
Good luck to everyone who entered

If I'm remembering right 
It's not announced until the winners are notified, privately.

Little Bear GuyThe nominees were announced on Sat morning at IDEX, so anyone who was there would know who was nominated. I believe Jared was going to be there with his mom, not sure though.
Will just have to wait and see, we didn't enter again this yr so no nerves here but best of luck to all who entered.
big hugs

Jare Hares & BearsI went to IDEX but I didn't go to the breakfast... Too tired! I needed sleep.
I e-mailed the new editor for Teddy Bear & Friends for a copy of the TOBY list. Once I have it I will share with everybear.
IDEX was good! I enjoyed the break from the cold and snowy north.
I think I will become a snowbird as soon as I can afford it.
Oooh, so near and yet so far!
Geezie Louizie!! Somebody has to know something!! I guess I'll go back to painting then.
Hugs, :hug:

Oh, Boy!
I never want to go through that, again! I was sure I was not nominated; the competition was so strong in my categories. But I was so anxious for my artist friends 
My "Cat and the Fiddle" was nominated and I have to admit that I do love him. So far I have not offered him up for sale because he is such a comfort in my studio; being a "street musician" he knows what an artist's life is like and he's there for me.
