Hi Maxine!
My friends, your friends, our friends, have told me to send this to you:
May I interview you?
I asked them if I could interview them but they told me to interview you!
Me: Blue
You: Green (I really told her to do what she wanted, so she did red. But that is now allowed, so I'm doing green for her)

How did you make BABW a huge best selling store when you were 11?
I wasn't 11, I was grown up, but my best friend, Katie was 11 and she inspired me Smile

Did your family members encourage you to think big?
Yes, my parents wanted me to be all I could be

How long did it take you to make a big success?
It was an instant success

What was the first bear you ever made?
Curly Bear

Do you remember what it was like to have your first customer ever?
Yes, it was sooooo exciting. I was shaking!

When and where did you meet Chloerocks, our big interviewer!
Chloe and I first crossed paths in late summer 2007

How come she made the Chloe Show?
She was so talented! She had just the right approach to life. Positive but very inquisitive--she loves to do research and get to all the facts. She has a great sense of humor and is very flexible. Like when she had to go and interview the moose and it was not in her studio. The moose was so tall and she was so small in comparison but she did it! She is also a hard worker and wants to be successful so she works hard in school and in the community

Could you give us any clues on new bears or updates?
Today we launch the new Jack Russell Terrier and on 1/23 the first Season of Hugs bear. On 2/14 we will launch a new frog--he is soooo cute too.

Thank you Maxine!

See you around,
CamerynChocolate1. If you see me around, call me Chocolate or Cameryn.

Thanks Maxine! You so rock!
