Holly and I were at the dog park today and I noticed I was smiling. Dogs just make me happy. I know that not everyone is a dog person but our Holly changed our lives. When my wife Patty, had to retire for medical reasons she went from a high-pressure job one day, to home the next day. That may sound good but it was not easy for her. Later that year I got Holly as a Christmas present for my wife. The companionship was incredibly helpful.
If you are in a situation where you need some extra company then consider adopting a rescue dog. They need a home and you just might get a best friend.
Personalized Pet Christmas Ornaments Ready to Order:
Sorry I have been so slow getting these Personalized Pet Christmas Ornament patterns ready. The order form is now live. The patterns are $2 per name with no minimum. The order form will take up to five names. If you need more than that I just fill out a separate form.
The ornaments include the year but you can cut that part of the pattern off if you prefer them without the year.
When you cut the veining on the ornaments you can add a touch of glue to the back after the vein is cut. This helps add strength back if needed.
Personalized Christmas Ornament Patterns:
I am still making good progress on ornament patterns. I should be able to get caught up today. If you have orders in the queue, keep your eye on your email inbox.
The price is $1 per name with a 5 name minimum. I keep the price as low as possible
because I want everyone to have a chance to make these ornaments for family and friends.
You only pay after you have received the order and are
100% satisfied with the patterns. Invoice included with
the pattern email. Pay by credit card(secure Paypal), check, or cash.
The patterns will be emailed to you after they are completed.
Please allow up to a week for delivery.
You can use last names on the ornaments if you like but remember that the more letters the more
difficult they are to cut. Ten letters and up gets pretty small. If you need to you can enlarge the patterns by 10% to make the interior cuts larger. No special characters are supported. I can get a hyphen in there but it looks odd. It has to connect the two letters so it does not just fall out.
