Sorry to disappoint you all, but there will not be any Christmas party pictures this year. I have been suffering from shaky hands for weeks and I am finding it hard to sew etc. So there is no way I could even start to make the usual Christmas party pictures. I have been asked by several members when I will be posting this years pictures and I feel so sad that I have let those of you who were maybe looking forwards to the pictures. I have spent many days over each picture in the past and need to have a very steady hand to do them. Just to make things even more difficult for me my computer just five months old has just up and died on me.  bear_cry I'm using my daughter's laptop to sned this message. So......


I wish you all a very happy Christmas , may all your dreams come true.

Dear Jane,   I love your wonderful Christmas parties and will miss it this year.  But that being said, I can only imagine the work that goes into it, and that would be on a good heath day.  I really appreciate all you do here with all of the birthdays you help us all celebrate.   I hope you have a joyous, peaceful holiday season.

Dear Jane,

I am sorry to hear about your health problems.  I don't really know what the Christmas party pictures look like, but by the sound it, they must be something spectacular.   Well maybe I will get to see them next year.

You have already done some much on this forum, posting these lovely birthday cards and taking all the photos of the Hugglets show, I think it deserves a huge

THANK YOU

and a big round of

!  (You can't hear this, but my bears are all clapping their paws  bear_grin ).

Take very good care of yourself and enjoy the holidays with your lovely family.  :hug:

Dear Jane,  please do not feel bad about the party.  I'm sure we will all understand that your health is more important.  I can totally understand how much time is involved in "hosting" the party for us all.  I do appreciate all that you do throughout the year .   Take care of those hands, and have a wonderful Christmas. 

There are lots of new members, but there is no reason why we can't just relive last years celebration LOL :

Jane,

Please do not feel bad, we all understand. I know how difficult it is to do the precise work it requires to make the necessary graphics for the party pictures. Thank you so much for all of the work you do with the birthday cards and other celebrations throughout the year.

Take care of yourself and have a Merry Christmas!

Hugs,

Wishing you a very Merry Christmas, Jane, and hope all your problems are resolved in the New Year. Don't worry about not doing the party this year we know how much work it is. I was away last year and didn't get on TT for a couple of months so missed last year's party - didn't even think of it with not being here for Christmas so I just went and looked it now - thanks to Tammy posting the links. You really outdid yourself last year! It will be fun for everyone to look at it again now.

Don't worry one second about not being able to throw a party this year, Jane.  I hope your hands get better soon and you certainly deserve a break with all the thoughtful and generous time you spend on TT.  Tammy, thanks so much for posting links to last year's party so the newcomers can see how talented Jane is when hosting these get-togethers.  Boy, did I enjoy reliving the time I spent on George's knee - sigh.  Thanks for all you do and hope you enjoy your holiday.   :hug:  :hug:  :hug:  :hug:  :hug:  :hug:  :hug:  :hug:  :hug:
