My ornament went off last week and so I hope it reaches its new home in time! No trips across the water...but definitely went south....(nah, that would be telling too much!) All the ornaments have been so cute, each one different but I'd be happy to have any of them on my tree. Oooooo the anticipation  
Does any one else get nervous that the recipient won't like what you made? Inquiring minds (or whats left of mine ) want to know!

Definitely, but I'm like you Cheryl I would be sooo happy with any of the little creations that have gone up on the TT tree, my other main worry was that with all of the luck we usually have with the postman, how do we know what to report if anything goes wrong (like a sidetracked teddy to Greenland!)?

Yes Cheryl, I think it will always be.    and then that HUGE relief when the email comes and they say they loved it.    Why do we always doubt ourselves?

Hi All,

I got the most wonderful little miniature bear sitting on a bell from Melissa in New Zealand on Saturday. It is 2-1/4 inches total! He is a perfect little white bear with a red nose & collar. He has red fingers & toes & is sittling on a red & white striped bell.  I am going to have to try to take another picture because this one isn't very sharp.

Tammy, I don't know how you do something that small!  Thank you, Thank you!

Oooh Amy, I am so relieved it finally arrived!  I worry when every single one of my packages goes out      And so pleased that you like it.  I was trying to get the bear to be under an inch but darn it - he was just over!!

Mutz Dec 17, 2007

Thanks again!

Tammy Dec 17, 2007

I love all of the new ornaments.  Each one is so very different and made with love.  Handmade gifts are just so special.   I have added all of them to  tree #1.  Yep, I need another tree already ! 

The next ornament to be posted goes on the top of tree #2  :dance:

Kirsten Dec 17, 2007

Connie~ YAY glad he made it to you before Christmas - was starting to wonder what was up with the post office! HA
Hope you like him.. I used an older pattern of mine, and it was a struggle after a few years not making bears.

Can't wait to get mine!!

K Pawz GuestDec 18, 2007

Whooo hoo, i guess Daphne gets the top of tree #2!!! I love my Beau Jangles from the talented Daphne Blau! this little guys is just fabulous!!!! I looooove him....thank you so much Daphne, sorry I didn't get this posted yesterday when the postman arrived with him on a Sunday! Isn't he adorable!

Big Hugs,

I received the most wonderful snow fairy ornament from Katrina Miller. It is sooo tiny, how did you even sew him. Katrina also included a wonderful card with a little poem that I hope she doesn't mind me sharing and some paper snowflakes that she cuts out of paper.

Katrina, I just love Snowdrop and he will be in my collection all year. I just love fairies.

Could you possibly post the picture you took of him? My house is under remodel and I'm not sure where I moved the camera too.

The poem Katrina enclosed in a little handmade card is:
I've heard, by work of
        mouth
That you don't get much
   snow down south,
So, when this snow fairy
   landed at my door,
I knew who he was
      intended for.
  Bringing snow and
Christmas Cheer,
Snowdrop can finally say
     "I'm here!"
  Merry Christmas!

Hugs and Merry Christmas!

Has mine got to Canada yet ???? EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Well...I can't speak for all of Canada.... :crackup:  :crackup:  :crackup:
There has been huge storms in the East so if its going there it may be held up - apparently some folks won't make it home for Christmas

I just received my wonderful ornament from Connie of Booggsie Bears!   :dance:  :dance:  Thank you Connie. It came in a lovely christmas box! It's a traditional bear head ornament with a center seam. I have it displayed on my christmas tree for all to see!!!!!

Daphne Dec 18, 2007

I'm so glad you got your ornament, Krista! Beau Jangles must have connections at the post office to get a Sunday delivery!
:crackup:

Those ornaments who haven't made it to their destinations yet: it's Christmastime folks! Loads more packages being shipped than usual. And bad weather in many places doesn't help. Have patience.... international shipping can take forever... we've had so many frustrated discussions about that when shipping our bears. We work so hard on something special to then put it at the mercy of postal workers.   But hang in there and stay calm. I for one am very impatiently waiting for my ornament to arrive from God knows where but just like everyone else has done thus far.... I'll post that I've gotten it just as soon as it arrives so it's creator will know. Jodi - I'm sure your recipient will do the same! And when ever our ornaments arrive they'll be very special whether it's Christmas (which would of course be ideal) or Easter!!!

:hug:

ConnieB Dec 18, 2007

Goodness gracious!  That did take just forever to arrive, didn't it?  But I'm so glad you have it now, Linda, and that you are happy with your ornament!  Merry Christmas!!!  Thank you for taking a lovely photo of the ornament.  I didn't take one myself before I packed her off on her long journey!!!

Shelli Retired Help Advisor, Banner SponsorDec 18, 2007

Mine hasn't even shipped yet (slowpoke Shel) but it's going domestic and I'll be shipping it with expedited delivery so just in case you're waiting on one, it might still be en route, but sure to make it to you by Christmas..

Katrina's Miniatures Dec 18, 2007

Yay Gijzette, I'm glad you like Snowdrop!  I'm glad he finally got there!  Haha, thanks for sharing the poem   I had fun. 
I'll post a picture, but I didn't take any on a solid background.  So, here's Snowdrop.  His snowflake has real glass glitter on it.

So I get home from work and my darling son says: "Oh, some mail came for you today, some cards and a package...I think its your ornament from those bear people" 
Me: (still with coat on, briefcase in hand)"WHERE!!!! WHERE?????"
Son: "I don't know...I brought it in I think...I put it down somewhere probably..."

2 hours later...we still haven't found it!!! and its a SMALL house!        
KIDS!
