Hi everyone,
Well I've got your emails and the list is going great- just a reminder for everyone else that wants to be involved that I'll be drawing the recipients list on the 1st November so get your names to me before then to be part of the swap!
Cheers
Melissa

Oh, I wish I could join in this year! bear_cry I've participated the past three years, have had such fun with it, and cherish the ornaments I've received (they stay out all year bear_wub ).  But I fear I wouldn't have enough time to prepare, as I am having carpal tunnel surgery Dec. 10th and have custom orders to finish before this.  I'm just bummed! bear_sad

Thank-you,

Hi Guys,
Never fear, I have gotten your emails, have just been interstate at shows for the last 3-4 weeks! Haven't tallied all of the names yet, but there would have to be over 30 names.
So I'll get stuck in and draw up the list ASAP- stay tuned!!!

Hi Mel,

Don't mean to put on the pressure but when will you be emailing our swap person's name to us.

Can't wait to see who I've got!!

I can't wait XD

I've already started mine bear_original (or, at least a practice run if it doesn't turn out how I think it will!)

Hi there,
The one thing I've learnt from last year is to check and then check again and then if you want to have it right - check again!!!
So below is the list of surnames from the swap (in alpha order only). If your name is NOT on the list and you DID want to be involved in the swap please email me straight away so you can be included, I've checked off the names of folk who put up a post in the topic, but just want to make sure I've got those who didn't post also. I've managed to transfer all of the address' and the swap is ready to be drawn, so expect the details of your recipient to be sent on Monday.
Cheers

Is there another Hutchison besides me? Or is my name on the list twice by accident?
Can't wait to see who I get to make an ornament for.  Such fun!

OK, so I've now managed to send out all of the emails with your recipient's name and address (If you don't have yours let me know and I'll resend it) - now enjoy the giving  bear_original


Please don't forget to send the ornament out nice and early to beat the Christmas post rush (I of all people should heed this advice!!!) and perhaps take a picture of it before posting just in case your recipient isn't able to take a picture or upload it.


Enjoy the season!

Yay, got mine, now to get to work!

Oh, and I don't want to be awkward but I forgot to put on my info that I'm allergic to wool, so whilst I'd love to see a little needlefelted bear or one wearing a woolly jumper, I'm afraid it wouldn't love me  bear_cry
