Hi there everyone, bear_flower

I feel quite embarrassed doing this as I am not one who likes to "blow their own trumpet" but I thought people may think me strange if I didn't say anything, but I am tickled pink to have also received a nomination for one of my bears in the British Bear Artist Awards. :redface: :redface:

I have been going through a horrid time recently one way or another and visiting hospitals on virtually a daily basis, bear_sad so receiving a little gold rosette in the post was indeed a wonderful glimmer of hope that maybe things may start to look up for me and my family in the coming months.

My little bear, or should I say "big" bear, who has been nominated is "Persimmon" at 22", an armful of cuddly mischief, and entered into the "Undressed" category. I hope you like him.

Take care everyone, hope you're all keeping well.

Hugs,
