My panda Wang Chung has just been announced as a 1ST PLACE WINNER in this year's prestigious URSA Awards, sponsored by Bears & Buds online magazine!!!
As you all know, I've only been making bears for a couple of years now, and to achieve this award at this level is a dream come true .... I'm happy dancing all around the room right now!!!!
A big, big thank you to all of you who voted for me - my wonderful collectors, and my beautiful family and friends! It means the world to me, and I'll treasure this moment forever!
