Thank you so much for putting me out of my misery Chrissie bear_grin  I have been missing being at IDEX, let alone hearing if I managed to get a nomination or not! I am sooo excited, tho like Krista - I have some stiff competition in my category bear_grin  Just thrilling to get a  nomination, congrats to the other nominees.

wilbaerle.jpgLittle-Bears-in-Love.jpgI didn't have any phonecalls or emails from TBF either, so I was sure I had no nominations, then I came here into the forum to see who actually was nominated aand found my name on the list. not only once, but twice!
Most probably you've heard me shouting even in the US.
And here are the pictures of my nominees, who were, by the way, inspired by my two favourite models George Clooney and Wilbaer, the little polar bear in Stuttgart.

TT-032-DrkPrt-72.jpgOh my goodness !!!  I almost fell off my chair at work when I read the list of TOBY nominees.  Since I had not gotten any phone calls, I had resigned myself to trying again next year ... "Bennie" is such a little "Plain Joe" ... I didn't think he could stand with all the extraordinary and amazingly wonderful pieces I have seen here on Teddy Talk.  The artistry and creativity I have seen here is outstanding and makes me humble and honored to be among those listed.

Here's "Bennie"

I didn't realize so many hadn't heard yet from TBF.  I picked it up from the TBF booth at IDEX.  They had them printed out.  It's great to see so many TTers on the list!

I love seeing everyone's pictures.  Congrats to everyone!   :clap:

Yay and congratulations to all the nominees.  It's exciting to see so many familiar TT names on the list, and some unfamiliar names, too.  That means the industry is growing and drawing new artists who'll keep challenging us all.

Hugs and kudos, too, to those who entered but did not receive nominations.  Keep at it -- Next year's your year!!

I got an e-mail from Kathy Dolly that appears to have gone out to all who entered. It had an attached file with the 2009 TOBY Industry's Choice Award Winners. I guess this is how they are contacting us this year.??

Bear hugs,
Melissa Zemeski
