GOLDEN GIRLS!







A phone call from two very dear friends, Cindy and
Darlene, on Saturday night brought the news that
both my Golden Teddy Nominees had won! I did think that they were playing an early "April Fool's Day" joke on me, but another call from Alice the next day gave me further evidence that it may be true!!
Sue from Teddy Bear Review sent a message today that made it official. And the logo shown belongs to both little girls.
I am so grateful to all who voted for my little bears!
I wish I could give each of you a hug - but know that my thanks and hugs belong to you.
I will offer both Mimi and Maude on Ebay with no reserve very shortly. I'm preparing to leave next week for the teddy bear show in Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA, on November 15th, and will try to get the ebay template done when I return. If you aren't on my emailing list and would like to know when they will be available, just email me through my website: http://www.donnaandthebears.com/.
If you are going to the Ann Arbor show and would like a sneak peak of bears going with me to the show, let me know!

    My dear Ruth!
    You are so sweet. The sad part of winning is that others will not. I was truly honored to be among such wonderful artists as yourself. You'll never know how much your kind message means to me.Thank you so very much!
    Tons of hugs,
    Donna

    Oh thank you so much, Cheryl! You know, I try to make each of them look as though they deserved an award - sure makes it slow going though!
