Good news & Bad news!

Starting of with a little bad news for everyone who bought items this week from my Etsy shop in terms of shipping delay, It has been snowing this week, not like the years before but a nice.. very nice thick white magical blanked!!! Children were thrilled, free from school & diving, throwing plus sitting on a sledge all day until they were all frozen up, bagging for something nice and hot to drink!
Anyways a little to much snow for me to get the parcels out! I'll try again on Monday, if there is still to much snow to drive my car I will walk the 45 minutes to the post!!!

My good news is,
a new Hug me again bear entered my Christmas web show this evening!


Her name is Ysa, click here for the Christmas show page.
Ysa found a home, thank you!

And.....
I'm having one more giveaway :-) A Chopper gift pack, five colors of super soft hand dyed Mohair, five pairs of German glass eyes, discs plus pins & lace plus fancy silky roses :-) If the winner does not have the Chopper bear pattern, I will include one or if wished for mail one.

All you need to do is, leave a comment on this post, and I will write all the names down from everyone who left a comment on this post on small papers and with eyes shut pick a winner on Monday :-) I will also post the winner on my blog on Monday.

I'm going to try and get my little cat out of the Christmas tree again now! we have two small cats, remember the kittens I have been posting about? Our tree is like a magnet for them :-)



Happy.. happy weekend!

Hi Vivianne: Just to wish you a wonderful holiday and let you know that my little pink girl is sitting in my dining room lightening up the hutch shelf for all who visit my home this Christmas! Thank you for the wonderful bears you bless us with.

My cat also loves the Christmas tree. Usually I remember to only put non-breakable ornaments at the bottom, but this year I forgot! Hopefully she'll be good.

Have a lovely Christmas! I'll send you a photo of Chopper once I've finished him. (Or her... being pink and all!)

Hi Vivianne!

We had a short glimpse of the white stuff but not much on the ground. Yet only 1 hour away they have several inches. Good luck with getting your parcels out. The snow must be really pretty.

Love your bears, your patterns, your kits, AND your cat. I have not put up a tree for years because my 2 cats like to lay in the boughs and eat the greens of my artificial tree. 14lb cat, 4 ft tree - do the math!
I grew up in Maine but now live in Arizona and I DO NOT miss the snow.

I would love to be entered in your drawing - I already have the Chopper pattern! (Although have not been able to make her yet, with other Christmas duties needing done first!) I also ordered the Ellie kit on Friday, for my daughter!
Your work is outstanding! I love how all your creations have the antique look to them!
Merry Christmas to you and your family!

I'm placing this comment for Grace.

Hello Vivianne,
Happy Christmas to you and your family! :)
I'd love to enter your blog giveaway - but I'm not allowed to leave a comment without signing in and I don't have a blog of my own..
Millie Rose is still doing well here and one day I hope she will have a pink or white brother and sister to join her...
Enjoy your snow, it's so peaceful and beautiful. Here it's summer all year, lol! It's strange to get used to at first but it's quite fun too.
All the best,
Grace
