I am so impressed with all the bears but as mine gets closer and closer to Olga in Germany I get more and more nervous.

I now have Beth's bear to me - you can release his photo now Beth!!

I am absolutely THRILLED with hin.  He is beautifully made and a REAL character.  I have called him "Bumble" as he reminds me of a bumble bee who has nosed dived into a flower bed.  His expression is fantastic!

Thankyou so much for him Beth and for being a great partner.

When can we do the next Swap - what about a "Autumm" theme - all those lovely colours!  Are well, just an idea!

Thanks again Beth, lovely, lovely bear.

Beth, what a beautiful bear you have mede for Karon.  I love the coloing you have chosen for her, and the shape of her head,  I envy anyone who can do such a nice round head.  I also like how you have used the flower theme.  Karon, you must be thrilled.

Claire, why oh why would you have been nervous about sending anyone this wonderful little bear, love her.  The soft pink color of the fur, her sweet face, you did a great job on her.  Olga must be thrilled.

the reason I was so nervous was that Olga is so talented adn this was a designed from scratch bear one of very few that I have done.  Now that I have seen the photo I feel a lot more confident.  This whole swap as well as giving me a gorgeous bear has inspired me to do better but has also totally boosted my confidence and given me heaps of ideas for future bears (just because I now know that I can design from scratch).  Thank you for the opportunity to participate and thanks again Olga for your bear and the great photos you took of mine.

I'm soooooo desperate to meet my swap bear but unfortunately he/she seems to have lost their way on their journey  bear_cry
My swap partner and I posted our bears at the same time and she received hers about 4 or 5 weeks ago but I still haven't received mine yet  bear_sad  Hopefully he/she will turn up soon!!!

bear_wub  bear_whistle Gee, Julia, nothing yet?  I mailed that swap bear on the 10th which was a Monday,  I do not know how long it takes to get there, but I hope soon.  Now I will not know until Monday the 24th as my computer at home is broke and I am leaving work at 1pm today.  The suspense is killing me.  I had a problem with my christmas oranment swap and it never got there to its destination, and I sent another one that did get there, the original came back to me 3 months later.  I resent it and that got there.  So I get worried that this will happen again.  Hope not.
Nervous Nellie in Jersey.  Have a great weekend all.
