Happy holidays!

I have mailed my cards.  I have received cards from Belgium and England.  Peter Masscharis sent a lovely handmade three-dimensional card of two teddies caroling in the snow.  Heather Forster sent a card with a beautiful photo of a mother polar bear and her two cubs. 

Best wishes for the holidays!

Wow, that was quick, Gail.   Happy Holidays to you too!  :rose:

Jenny, if you PM your address, I will gladly send you a Christmas card.  I started with the friends that live farthest away, so there is still time for a card to the UK.  bear_thumb

P.S. There is one card in the first photo on the left that I can't place; it comes from Germany (Weihnachten with three teddy bears), but I can't read the name and I don't know if it's from one of my TT friends.  bear_shocked

Peter, you should have received my card by now, please let me know if you didn't or don't? Then I shall send again! Hugs, Pink

Yes, Pink, I did get your card, but it was so beautiful (the three dimensional teddies are awesome), that I put in my Christmas tree and therefore forgot to take a picture of it. bear_innocent
So Sorry, I will right this wrong tomorrow! bear_smile

As promised, here is the lovely card/ornament from Pink (it's a beautiful 3D scene, but that doesn't show on the photo).
The teddy holding it, is one of Lorraine Rowe's "Teddy Parlour" bears, called "Oscar".  bear_wub
