Posted mine yesterday!! Hope it gets to my swap partner quickly.
What a fabulous ornament !
I am not able to participate in the swap this year, but would be happy to do the tree again if Melissa would like me to. I always enjoyed decorating it, and it seems like a tradition now LOL . I leave it up to her to decide as she is is the organizer
Tammy that would be fantastic!!!
Thanks for the offer, I appreciate it-
so guys once you get your ornament, snap it, then send them to tammy@beckoningbears.com
Cheers
Mel
Sounds great Melissa ! I think I will start a different thread for just the tree. Everyone should still post their photos here too so everyone knows who made/received them . I can grab the pictures from here , or you can email them to me directly.
The tree has now been cut and the first ornament has graced the top . You can see it here :
Have received my ornament today!!! My secret Santa was Cheryl from Bingle bears. She made me a very cute mouse, with a lovely kind of swing made of cranberries!!! It's difficult to describe, but pictures will follow soon. Thank you Cheryl for your great work, and thank you Melissa for making it all happen!!!
hugs,
Anita
How cute!
I just took a pause from working on mine to check my email, etc. Of course I can't do just one. I'm making one for my mom, my sister, each of my grandkids, & maybe a neighbor or friend or 2 who have been so helpful to us this past year. Of course the first one done will be the one I mail out.
Gotta get back to work!

I received my ornament today from Nancy of Dog Patch Critters! It is the cutest little thing I have ever seen! Thank you so much Nancy!! :hug:
Unfortunately my camera is not working again :doh: , but as soon as I figure it out I will post some pics.

It's great to hear that the ornaments are arriving thick and fast!
Thanks for the tree thread Tammy - it's just not the same without it :O)

I just had to post a picture before I left town.....look what I got today from Julia............thank you so much, he is adorable, I love him
You're welcome Tami, He was an absolute nightmare.... I am never, ever making a bear that small with a double neck joint again - it's a bad idea!!!! :crackup:
I pm'd Jeanette and told her I took a photo of the ornament before I mailed it and would post for her since her camera isn't working.
Aww, all so cute! I received mine this morning as I was rushing out the door, so I had to wait until tonight before I could open it. I got the most fabulous reindeer ornament from Helen Jamieson in New Zealand, plus lots of wonderful extras, thank you so much! Will take pics of the one I'm posting on Monday and that one and put my received one up here in a bit.
Okay, here's the one I received today. Apologies for the not so good photo, I just won't get a chance to get a picture in daylight any time soon, and a friend has borrowed my flash - argh!
I love all these ornaments. They are so fun to see !
Lucky me...
today a little package arrived for me all the way from the United States!!!!
Thank you Mary (hikiddobears) he is lovely....a purple Santa to be sure- I'll take a photo in the daylight tomorrow and post the pics asap.
Mel
Here he is:
Just so sweet!
I love seeing all of these adorable ornaments! Mine is being shipped out today so I am really nervous. I sure hope they like it. I'm sending it priority mail and it's staying in the US so it should be there by Wednesday or Thursday. I'm so excited!
I rec'd my ornament on Saturday all the way from Australia from Therese Johnson, what a lovely open mouth bear head on a pillow, Sure is wonderful, I will post a picture as soon as I can get my granddaughter to do it for me, still no computer. But it is great and I thank you therese very much. Happy Holidays.

I happened to go out on our front porch yesterday. (I usually enter & exit through our garage). I was very surprised to find a package on my porch. My son, who regularly goes out of our front door said, "Oh yeah, that's been out there a few days. I thought it was something you were mailing out." Grr!
It was my lovely little ornament from Anita Jimmers! All the way from the Netherlands just to sit freezing on our frount porch for days! He is the cutest little bear named Noel! He fits into a little glass ornament! I will post a picture of him as soon as I can.
Thank you, Anita! I love him!
Prettige Kerstdagen en Gelukkig Nieuwjaar!
Amy
I will be mailing my bear out tomorrow!
Of course my light tent where I take all of my pics is in the middle of a bunch of stuff and I canèt get to it. We are redoing our basement and everything has been pushed to the centre of the room so that we can re-insulate the walls and put up new wall board - of course as usual it is taking longer that expected! At least the mess is in the basement and I donèt have to look at it every day!
