Tina--lucky you!!! Ellen, that little bear is completely adorable!!! bear_wub

Tracey Smith, your ornament with the dangling arms and legs it soo cute!!! And I love the little bear face Tammy made for Jodi!

I'm glad to see the Teddy Talk Christmas tree is filling up. Thank you for putting that together again Tammy! :hug:

Would everyone please post a photograph of your ornament in this thread when you receive it? I know that makes it quite long, but as the organizer I like to keep track of who has received her ornament and having them in one place is helpful.

Hopefully all the ornaments have been made and are on their way to their new homes!!

Everyone's ornaments are just wonderful. I'm kicking myself for not participating this year...OUCH!!! My life has just been too much and I was afraid of adding something to it...but boy a new cute ornament would have made me happy both in the giving and the receiving.

Someone remind me of this next year, please!!!! :crackup:

The mailman arrived late today with a huge box. I just opened my ornament and guess what .........it was from Patty of Swan Valley Bears. I was right , she got my name AGAIN this year- What a SCREAM !! I can't find 2 batteries that work in this house so I can 't post a picture. But, I just had to share my excitement.

I am just so thrilled with my ornament, and can't believe the amount of work that went into it. It is just so creative and gorgeous . bear_wub So , first thing tomorrow I'll post a pic of my "Elf" . She even included a Christamas dishcloth to accompany the Dishtowel she sent with my ornament last year. What a sweetie.

Edited Dec10th- Here is my ornament from Patty

Great picture of your elf-bear, Tammy. I'm glad you took such a good picture of him because I didn't get a chance to photo him before he left on his journey cross-country and north to Canada.

I just received the most beautiful ornament from Gail Parsons of Walnut Tree Corner!!!!!!!
Her name if Frosticle Snowflake and she's just the most beautiful little thing! I will try to get her picture posted tomorrow......having a bit of camera trouble.
She is blue and white with the swwetest little face and she is attached to the most beautiful snowflake that has hand placed crystals and bead work! It's just fantastic! Frosticle arrived in a beautifully hand made colour co-ordinated box with sparkles and snowflakes on it too!
She looks wonderful on my tree, well, when I actually have her on the tree..........I keep taking her down to look at her and admire her.............and yes play with her bear_grin
A huge thank you to you Gail I really love her bear_wub

Hugs,

Hi Andrea,
I am so glad you like Frosticle Snowflake and that she arrived safely bear_thumb . I have been having terrible trouble trying to get onto the internet for the last two days, I have resorted to nabbing my daughters lap top to try and catch up with everything!
All the ornaments are just beautiful. The TT Tree is going to be wonderful (and very full up!) when it is finished.

Well, my little friend has left for his big adventure to his new Christmas tree, I must say he did look very small in his big express post parcel, but that's just to make sure he arrives safely!

I have been so impressed with the gorgeous ornaments going up on the TT tree, it's amazing the talent that is housed right here- well done EVERYBODY :clap: :clap: :clap: .

I can't wait to see what's going up on the tree next, I check in every day, but if the decos we've had so far are anything to go by I'm sure I'm going to keep drooling.....

Thanks Tami and Tammy for all of your great work :thumbsup:
