Thanks very much to Tami for organising this great swap..it should be fun and help us all to get into the Christmas spirit! :dance:
Can I ask though....... PRETTY please WITH SUGAR on TOP..if you are taking part in the swap and you haven't yet taken the plunge and introduced yourselves to us all here on TT, please do!!!  :pray:
It's so much more fun if you have had contact with your partner before rather than making something special for someone with no 'face'. TT is so much more fun if you participate and everyone is welcome!

In case no-one has guessed...I drew a 'lurker'...please lurker...I want to know you!!!! Please...please!!!!! We don't bite!!! bear_whistle  Come out, come out wherever you ARE!!!! bear_flower

I haven't started yet, but the ornament idea I have is for a whole mini bear which would probably be in the 3-4" range.

I was thinking of making a mini bear ornament but didn't know if i could as i thought is was just for a head.

The head was just one idea. It is totally up to you what you make (As long as its a teddy bear and ornament sized). I know there are lots of creative people here, so do what you want! I had several ideas and don't know which I am using yet.
A whole bear mini bear would be darling. The head pictured would fit on a 10" bear if I'd made the whole thing.

I can't quite believe it BUT.......I'VE FINISHED!!!! I think this is the first time in my life where I have finished something before it's due. I am REALLY pleased with the results though....just hope the person I am sending it to is pleased with it!

So......do you think it would be ok to send it sooner rather than later?

Gemma, that's exciting!!! OHHHHHHHH I want to see it But it is a secret !!

Wow, Gemma, you're really on the ball!  bear_thumb

I think it would be okay to send it sooner, that way the lucky recipient can enjoy it for longer!

I'd better get going as mine needs to travel and to a dreaded 'postal' country. bear_rolleyes Last time I sent a bear there it travelled around customs for awhile, well thats what we guessed maybe he went site seeing the beautiful countryside.
