i was out shopping all day today in lakeside and when i got home what a lovely surprise waited for me,a letter telling me my bears have reached the finals of the british bear artist awards and a lovely yellow rosette,i'm absolutely thrilled but very nervous too as i really didnt expect to get anywhere and only entered because my hubby kept on,i entered the catorgory for newbies as i'd only been making bears for about 5 months when i entered ,now i'm relly nervous as i've learnt a lot more between then and now,it's an honour though,guess i'll just have to put up with the nerves,well done to everyone else who got nominated :clap: :clap: ,looking at your entries just makes me feel more nervy !

Boechout, AntwerpHi Sandra,
Many congratulations on your nomination. :clap:
The bears look really wonderful : Jester, Summer and Sue 'ki are adorable and I am sure they will be very popular at the show. 
I'm sure you will find it will be a thoroughly enjoyable day, with all the friendly artists and teddy bear lovers "oooohing" and "aaaaawing" over the teddy bears.
... oh and you'll probably be completely exhausted at the end of the day. 
Hugs, :hug:
