The "Winter Stars" Preview

My first online show of 2015 will be here soon and I am pleased to introduce Mikayla. She is my preview bear and just one of the three pieces I am creating for this upcoming show.

The "Winter Stars" Online Teddy Bear Show is being hosted by Bright Star Promotions, Inc. This online event will take place February 6th-9th. Click on the picture below to visit the show page and see the wonderful preview of bears and friends from a variety of talented artists worldwide.

I hope you will mark your calendars and join us!

A TOBY for Gabrielle

I am delighted to announce that my bear "Gabrielle" has won a TOBY Industry Choice Award in this year's competition. Wow!...I am absolutely thrilled!! It is such an honor to win this coveted award. What a great start for 2015.

As always, the TOBY Industry Choice winners become the nominees for the Public's Choice Awards. The ballot and online voting instructions will appear in the May issue of Teddy Bear & Friends magazine, available in March.
