Year end holidays are just around the corner!  I have received cards from John Port, Mary Encarnacion, Lisa Carlyle, and Jeannette Bashore.  Thanks for the holiday greetings!  Happy holidays to all on TT!

bear_flower Welcome, Angie!  I agree with Millie.  Your bear does not need trimming.  Your bear says he is finished.  And you are right, TT is pure teddy heaven.  bear_flower

I can see the owls in mohair!  Maybe there's a design coming to fruition!

Time sure flies when you're having fun--and it's almost time to send out the list for the SECOND TT Holiday Card Exchange!  I am planning on sending out the list on November 16, 2009, so if you want to participate, please send me your snail mail address at plumcottagebears@gmail.com. 
The year end holidays just get better with international mail!

Cyndee, the list for the second card swap group is a separate list.  You have received the final list for the first card swap group.  If you want to send and receive more holiday cards, you're welcome to  join the second group.

Plum Cottage Bears

By popular demand, there will be a SECOND holiday card exchange list, for people who didn't get on the first list or for those who want to send out lots of cards of holiday cheer!  To get on the list, please send your details to plumcottagebears@gmail.com.  Due to international postal deadlines, please send your details by Sunday, November 15, 2009.  Thank you and happy holidays!  Gail S. Thomas

Karen, the message does not sound legitimate.  This is something to leave well enough alone.  You put too much effort into your marvelous cats to risk having the photographs used for unapproved purposes.  Gail S. Thomas

There is a correction to Beverly Matteson Port's box number.  If you have not gotten the e-mail with the correction please send me a private message and I will send you the correct box number.  Thank you.  Gail S. Thomas

The 2009 Teddy Talk Holiday Card Exchange List has been distributed!

If you are on the list but did not receive a copy of the final list, please send me a private message, and I will send you a copy of that final list. 

Thanks to everyone who sent in their information for participation!  I'm going shopping for my cards tomorrow!

Happy holidays to all!

Remembear, pun intended, the final card list goes out November 10!  If your name or address needs fixing, please pm me!  Thank you all!

Plum Cottage Bears

Several revisions have come in.  Thanks for the sharp eyes.  A final revised list will go out November 10.  I'm getting my cards ready!  Thanks to all who participate in the annual holiday card exchange.

Plum Cottage Bears

The holiday card swap mailing list has been distributed!  Please use the list labeled Revision 2. 
Please check the spelling of your name and address and report to me any mistakes.  A corrected list would then be sent out.  Deadline for corrections is November 10, 2009.  A second revised list will be issued with any corrections.

If you asked to be placed on the list but you did not get a card list, please send me a private message. 

Please send cards to the five people whose names appear below yours in the list.  If your name is at the end of the list, circle round to the first names on the list to finish counting down five names.   Please feel free to send cards to everyone on the list if you wish, but it is not a requirement.  Happy Holidays!

Plum Cottage Bears

The card list will go out this weekend.  Does anyone want to join at the last minute?

Plum Cottage Bears

Of course it's just a coincidence, but I am about to assemble and send out the holiday card mailing list.  I don't want to do something that would cause the list to be sent on to unintended recipients.  Other than using the bcc feature on Outlook, what would be the best way for me to handle the security and privacy of the holiday card mailing list?  Thanks for any suggestions.

Plum Cottage Bears

bear_flower Depending on the size of the table, I would bring between 20 and 30 bears.  I can group 30 bears on an 8 foot long table, but on a 6 foot long table, 20 to 25 bears seem to fit better.  Good luck at your show!

Do you use Outlook?  There is a way in Outlook to send the message to yourself and put the mailing list in the bcc (blind carbon copy) slot.
