I started collecting Precious Moments in year 2000, after I received my first figurine "Love One Another" from my then-boyfriend, now-hubby. Back then, the figurines were already very expensive (especially when I only bought couple figurines) and having just started working, it was an expensive hobby...I would save up to buy one figurine every month. I loved the beautiful figurines...they reminded me of love and God. I also had the opportunity to meet the 3 creators of Precious Moments, Eugene Freedman, Yasuhei Fujioka and Sam Butcher (finally in 2006)....and my precious "Noah's Ark" bear their 3 signatures. There was also a period of time when I lost interest and felt like discontinuing my collection. However, I realised there were many people around me who shared the same interest...from strangers, we became instant friends. Gob Bless...
WOW!!! You are a lucky girl for meet the 3 creators. I bet was an amazing experience. :)
