Oh Tami, I'm so glad you love Eggnog...you know I stressed about her.   :crackup:   

This has been a really fun swap.  I keep waiting for my mailman to arrive at my door too.  I know him personally so he'll say "bear?" and then we'll chat about his new grandbabies while I'm dying to rip open the box.  :)

I've been contemplating bribing Tami into telling me WHO has my name but somehow I don't think she's the bribing kind.

A Big Brown UPS truck showed up at my door this morning and left a little box.
In it I found the most adorable little needlefelted bear inside his very own special handpainted box!

This is "Paddy"..... can you guess who made him?

 

Paddy was lovingly created by the very special woman who made this whole Ornament Exchange come to life and be so much fun! Yes, Tami Eveslage!!!

I can't even begin to tell you how much I love him and admire what an amazing job she did on him! Tami always does an amazing job at what ever she does! Paddy and I are off to have a snowball fight followed by a cup of hot cocoa!

Thank you, Tami!!!!!

Jodi Falk Dec 7, 2006

Who ever has Denise ... please send hers also.. Mommy is waiting with excitement !!!!

Amanda Dec 7, 2006

I sent mine off eleven days ago. I think these atlantic crossing decorations are enjoying the trip!

Jodi Falk Dec 7, 2006

I sent something else to Canada 12 days ago and they told me 5 to 8 days soooooooooooooooooooooooo it makes you worry. I didn't put a tracking number on it because it was a bear I donated to a talk night and I thought I wouldn't need it because there was no money involved. Guess I was wrong. But that was USA to Canada, there are allot of gifts being sent this time of year also. So maybe that is the hold up. Pluss remember that story on the exploding bears ??? Maybe customs are looking at our poor teddies !!! Hope they don't pull them apart :cry:

 

     OH NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO PLEASE DON'T PULL ME APPART !!!

ConnieB Dec 7, 2006

Denise,
Your ornament is going out today.  But it has a loooooooooooooong way to travel.............

AndreaM Dec 7, 2006

Hi there everyone!  I though this might put your minds at ease a little, for all of those who havenot yet recieved their ornaments.

Canada Post puts out a time line for Christmas posting with date, deadlines if you want your packages/cards to be recieved before Christmas.  Here's what is suggests.

Keep in mind this is FROM Canada TO the rest of the world, so yours may be a bit different.

letters, Cards & Parcels

To the USA:  by Air- Dec.8th   by Surface- Nov.24th

To Australia : by Air- Dec.4th   by Surface- Oct 20th

To Europe:  by Air- Dec.4th  by Surface- Oct 13th

I hope this is helpful and puts some minds at ease and I do hope that all ornaments make it to their new moms by Christmas.

If not then you'll at least have a lovely New Years surprise!

Hugs everyone,

AndreaM
