Past Time BearsOh great going, Jared . . . and Berta - fantastic!! Mindy, thank you for sharing the TOBY experience from your perspective. I definitely appreciate learning how you feel when you make those calls. For me, hearing about this honor is a joyous and thrilling occasion - a tingly feeling that just envelops you as you realize YOUR creation has been chosen! Oh, the excitement!
Canna Bear PaintAh Berta, congratulations to you as well! I saw your post of your bear on the mini forum, she is just beautiful! Mindy, I found your post very thoughtful and kind and did want to thank you for sharing it.
I wonder if the average person comes off more intelligently than I did when the Golden Teddies called me last year... I think my response to being a contest nominee was something along the lines of "HUH? WHAT? (silence) WHAT? OH! WOW!"
