Hi everyone,
Well I've got your emails and the list is going great- just a reminder for everyone else that wants to be involved that I'll be drawing the recipients list on the 1st November so get your names to me before then to be part of the swap!
Cheers
Melissa

Oh, I wish I could join in this year! I've participated the past three years, have had such fun with it, and cherish the ornaments I've received (they stay out all year ).  But I fear I wouldn't have enough time to prepare, as I am having carpal tunnel surgery Dec. 10th and have custom orders to finish before this.  I'm just bummed!

How many do you have to do the swap? Can't wait to see them again this year as they are all so great.

dear Melissa

Hi there.

Little worried as I have not heard from you yet and I did esperience problems emailing you, the first attempt "came back".

Would you confirm that you got it OK - my email address is teddylady123@hotmail.co.uk.  If you did not receive it could you add me.

Hi Melissa...

I was just wondering if you had received my Email to you back on October 3rd...re: Ornament Swap. I haven't received a swap name yet...not to worry...if you haven't received my info...please let me know and I will re-send the original Email.

Thank-you,
Nancy

Hi Guys,
Never fear, I have gotten your emails, have just been interstate at shows for the last 3-4 weeks! Haven't tallied all of the names yet, but there would have to be over 30 names.
So I'll get stuck in and draw up the list ASAP- stay tuned!!!

Oh I can't wait.  I've had so many ideas the last few days I've been rather preoccupied at work   

Karon Nov 6, 2009

Hi Mel,

Don't mean to put on the pressure but when will you be emailing our swap person's name to us.

Can't wait to see who I've got!!

Little_Bearries Nov 6, 2009

I'm excited too!

I can't wait XD

I've already started mine (or, at least a practice run if it doesn't turn out how I think it will!)

cjsmum Nov 6, 2009

Hi there,
The one thing I've learnt from last year is to check and then check again and then if you want to have it right - check again!!!
So below is the list of surnames from the swap (in alpha order only). If your name is NOT on the list and you DID want to be involved in the swap please email me straight away so you can be included, I've checked off the names of folk who put up a post in the topic, but just want to make sure I've got those who didn't post also. I've managed to transfer all of the address' and the swap is ready to be drawn, so expect the details of your recipient to be sent on Monday.
Cheers
Melissa

Is there another Hutchison besides me? Or is my name on the list twice by accident?
Can't wait to see who I get to make an ornament for.  Such fun!
Beth

cjsmum Nov 7, 2009

Hi Beth,
Ooops there was a typo I just noticed also, there is you and then there is Cheryl Hutchinson!!! Already fixed :dance:

Mel

Little_Bearries Nov 9, 2009

I can't wait!!! Thank you for organizing this!

cjsmum Nov 10, 2009

OK, so I've now managed to send out all of the emails with your recipient's name and address (If you don't have yours let me know and I'll resend it) - now enjoy the giving 

Please don't forget to send the ornament out nice and early to beat the Christmas post rush (I of all people should heed this advice!!!) and perhaps take a picture of it before posting just in case your recipient isn't able to take a picture or upload it.

Enjoy the season!

Mel

Little_Bearries Nov 10, 2009

Got mine, and I am SOOOOO excited!!!!

Thank you

DENBY30 Nov 10, 2009

  :dance: Got mine also, I have already starting making mine, so as to beat the rush.  LOL   I am excited, it is such a great idea for the Holidays and all us TT'ers :hug:

rowarrior Nov 10, 2009

Yay, got mine, now to get to work!

Oh, and I don't want to be awkward but I forgot to put on my info that I'm allergic to wool, so whilst I'd love to see a little needlefelted bear or one wearing a woolly jumper, I'm afraid it wouldn't love me 

teeeej Nov 11, 2009

I also have received mine! This is my first year in the Christmas swap. This is going to be fun.    

Jaina Nov 11, 2009

Me too. I'm working on my prototype, and if it comes out how I think it will, then it's full steam ahead    I'm so excited!! :dance:

Bubble-Up Bears Nov 12, 2009

I'm not a teddy bear artist so I don't get to play but I do enjoy seeing all the bear ornaments on the tree each year!!  :clap:
