What a fabulous ornament ! 

I am not able to participate in the swap this year, but would be happy to do the tree again if Melissa would like me to.  I always enjoyed decorating it, and it seems like a tradition now LOL .  I leave it up to her to decide as she is is the organizer bear_thumb

Sounds great Melissa !  I think I will start a different thread for just the tree.   Everyone should still post their photos here too so everyone knows who made/received  them .  I can grab the pictures from here , or you can email them to me directly. 

The tree has now been cut and the first ornament has graced the top .  You can see it here :

Have received my ornament today!!! My secret Santa was Cheryl from Bingle bears. She made me a very cute mouse, with a lovely kind of swing made of cranberries!!! It's difficult to describe, but pictures will follow soon. Thank you Cheryl for your great work, and thank you Melissa for making it all happen!!!

hugs,

How cute!
I just took a pause from working on mine to check my email, etc. Of course I can't do just one. I'm making one for my mom, my sister, each of my grandkids, & maybe a neighbor or friend or 2 who have been so helpful to us this past year. Of course the first one done will be the one I mail out.
Gotta get back to work!

You're welcome Tami,  He was an absolute nightmare.... I am never, ever making a bear that small with a double neck joint again - it's a bad idea!!!!  :crackup:

Aww, all so cute!  I received mine this morning as I was rushing out the door, so I had to wait until tonight before I could open it.  I got the most fabulous reindeer ornament from Helen Jamieson in New Zealand, plus lots of wonderful extras, thank you so much!  Will take pics of the one I'm posting on Monday and that one and put my received one up here in a bit.

I happened to go out on our front porch yesterday.  (I usually enter & exit through our garage). I was very surprised to find a package on my porch. My son, who regularly goes out of our front door said, "Oh yeah, that's been out there a few days. I thought it was something you were mailing out." Grr!

It was my lovely little ornament from Anita Jimmers! All the way from the Netherlands just to sit freezing on our frount porch for days! He is the cutest little bear named Noel!  He fits into a little glass ornament! I will post a picture of him as soon as I can.

Thank you, Anita! I love him!
Prettige Kerstdagen en Gelukkig Nieuwjaar!

I will be mailing my bear out tomorrow! 

Of course my light tent where I take all of my pics is in the middle of a bunch of stuff and I canèt get to it.  We are redoing our basement and everything has been pushed to the centre of the room so that we can re-insulate the walls and put up new wall board - of course as usual it is taking longer that expected!  At least the mess is in the basement and I donèt have to look at it every day!
