We are proud to announce that the voting public has named Precious Moments figurines winners in two categories in the 2009 Collectors' Choice Awards held by the Collectors' Information Bureau!

Precious Moments figurines won in the two categories in which we entered. Our figurines were submitted to the Collectors' Information Bureau in 2008. Earlier this year, the Collectors' Information Bureau posted products on their website and allowed the general public to choose their favorites. Based on the vote tally, Precious Moments won in the following categories:

1st Place: Home Decor/gift Under $50
The Precious Moments figurine entered was Make The Most Of Today With Hope For Tomorrow from our Words of Grace collection.

 

Through His gift of hope, God lets us see the world through His eyes, reassuring us that everything will turn out just fine. When we are filled with hope, we can't help reflecting His glory.

2nd Place: Holiday Items
The Precious Moments figurine entered was Filled With Wonder And Joy On This Special Night.

 

Share the excitement of waiting for Santa's visit. This pair of yuletide peepers eloquently captures the magical promise of Christmas Eve.

Precious Moments is honored by these awards. The very fact that the general public voted us winners makes these awards that much more cherished. Thank you.
