The January show in San Diego, CA hosted the TOBY awards and was a huge hit...highlights car be found can be found on youtube.com under San Deigo Bear Show 2010 and under Toby Awards. Thanks to Brenda Pollock-Smith for the photography. And how about the February shows in Portland, OR and Roseville, CA? What about the mega hit in Puyallup in March? I haven't had that much fun in a long time...2010 is off to a great start!

April 10 in San Jose was excellent! I had a chance to catch up with so many doll club folks and I was also able to introduce potential doll club members to Althea Garcia in the UFDC booth.

May 8 in Salt Lake I don't think there is any more beautiful spot in the spring! What fun we had and the ribbon embellishment class was really a hit. The show was filled with many out-of-town vendors and the shoppers were enthusiastic in their praise of the wide variety on display. For me, it is always great to be back in my hometown.
