I got mine from Teresa today. Awesome!

[Little flower]

Two so far - great!

Have had one from Derek and one from Carl. Fantastic! It makes checking the mail much more fun

[bearfretworks]

Excellent. They begin to arrive! I rethought posting a pic and won't. Don't want to ruin the surprise for those getting them from D.B.

Everyone getting one from me can wait a while........I'm thinking of mailing them no later than Dec 9 (hint hint for some of you )

I got mine from Mike ( minnesota scroller ) last week and I'm pretty impressed
Mine are almost all finished ....All that remains is attaching the training wheels
The long distance ones are going out next week
This is quite exciting actually.

After a really crappy day at work yesterday, I arrived home to find a small package on the desk with the day's mail. Excitededly I tore it open and there was a beautiful ornament from little flower. Nice job Teresa !
How very kewl to get something so nice from so far away
My wife and I are really enjoying this

[CanadianScroller]

I have 4 now. I rush home from work each day like a kid who ordered something from the back of a comic book.

No I never did own sea monkeys!

The ornaments are wonderful. This may just have to be an annual event.
If that is the case my wife says we may have to get another tree

Thanks everyone.
PS the last two are out in the mail today!

[Dusty Buffalo]

I received mine from Mike and from Teresa. It sure makes going to the mail much more exciting.

I shipped the last of mine (to the U.S. folks) on Monday of this week. All of the foreign ones went out last week Monday.

I must say it was a ton of fun and can't wait until next year.

Bob, are you sending out last year's too?

[bearfretworks]

Well Carl, you sly creative old dawg......CUTE ornament. THANK YOU for everything in the package!!!!!

[CanadianScroller]

Sly? Me? You are welcome.
Glad it all got there so quick

I didn't get involved in the ornament swap, but would you all mind posting some pictures of some of the ornaments that are being swapped. So this way if I have the time to do it next year I have some idea of what I would be up against. Having seen the quality of the quilt up close and personal, the ornaments must be awsome.

[Little flower]

Not for posting pictures

Rolf: I thought about posting some pictures but decided not to as I didn't want to post pics of someone elses work without their permission. And then I also thought that by leaving all you others who haven't participated a little bit curious it might stimulate more participation next year. As for seeing what you may be up against would not be my reason for posting any pics either as I would hate to see it take a leaning towards becoming a competition. Next year, just do as we have all done, just jump in the deep end and get involved and not be worried about whether your efforts may be on a par, not as intricate or more so than someone elses. It's not easy to send a sample of your work to another scroller knowing that its going to be well looked at and so I really admire everyone who has had the courage to put their name in the hat (even myself). Just do it realising that each and every ornament is sent out with a caring thought and received with much joy and appreciation. I'll look forward to seeing your name on my list next year - you have all year to do them in now..
