This past year things have changed for me. Why? I really think it is because I stopped picking the bears I liked the best. This year I paid attention to the comments. Who got the most, what was said. That is how I made decisions on who to enter.
Alpine and Oatman have both received TOBY Industry Choice Awards.
Oatman has been a very good boy, he has also won an URSA.
I guess the moral is not to trust myself.
Congratulations, congratulations!!!!! whoopie.
ReplyDeleteYou deserve ever win you could go in.
Both Alpine and Oatman are fabulous.

ReplyDeleteCongratulations Joanne! They both are fabulous and definitely deserved TOBYs :P
ReplyDeleteI'll also stick to your way of choosing contest bears from now on lol :D
No more going by the philosophy, I like what I like when it comes to knowing what other people will like. Thanks for sharing about paying attention to your comments. This will help me with stuff!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Joanne! I don't know why you've been a bridesmaid before. Your bears are always full of character.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Joanne.. not only are your bears award winners but you should be awarded for encouraging others with your wonderful tips and tutorials. I am so happy for you, it is so well deserved.

Such stunning and thoughtful work deserves recognition
ReplyDeleteSo pleased for you!!
Congratulations Joanne, I am reading what you says here... time for me to think again... =)
ReplyDeleteOh yayyyyyyy! Many congratulations Joanne! It is so well deserved. It's funny that you say this, I have always thought that the bears I love the least sell better LOL Why is that do you think? Hugs, Ellen
ReplyDeleteThank you all for your comments here. It means a lot to see these from every person here.
ReplyDeleteEllen, hmm, I think we do not see them as others do, they are like our children maybe. We are too close. I tend to love the bear I have just finished the best.
Herzlichen Glückwunsch. Die beiden Bärchen haben es richtig verdient.
ReplyDeleteLiebe Grüße

Gorgeous!!! Although all your bears deserve it! I know I can't really trust myself though. My favorites always sit waiting for new homes, like George, and others I think will take longer, go quicker. . . :/ Funny! Huh!? Congratulations!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! I would have a very difficult time picking a favorite though... each is so distinctive and unique, like Children or Pets... I would have a tendency to Love each and every one of them and they'd ALL be favored! I could never be a Judge of great Artistic Creations, I'd be too conflicted about which to 'choose'!?! *LOL*
