From Margaret,

" Thought that you might
like to see that giggle on her first day out
with Marvolet. I took her to a care home today and they LOVED her. They
asked why her name is giggles so I tickled them with the eyebrows and
when they laughed I told them it was because she could make them
giggle. Thanks again, I love her I don't mind if you want to mention
that I am a theraputic clown and a member of the
Caring
Clowns of the Central Okanagan in Kelowna"

" Thanks for the
puppets!!!! The girls love them! Ainsley has
affectionately named them “cookie monster” and
“pink cookie monster” They are currently sleeping
with each girl as I write this."

Pam writes from Bodrum, Turkey:
" I wanted to send you
off a quick note to say that I am using one of
your puppets to teach in Turkey! My sister, who lives in Nanaimo, sent
me beautiful purple 'Sally'. My own three children love her, as do the
40 plus Turkish kids that I teach English . Thought you would find it
fun to learn how global your puppets have become. Many thanks,"
Update from
Pam and the 50 kids:
" Hello from Bodrum
Turkey! Yes, 'Koko' ( name changed by my kids!)
performed just this morning for over 40 Turkish kids! A HUGE hit! It
not only gets the children to smile and laugh, it encourages them to
speak English. I proudly admit that I enjoy Koko as much as they do!
I'll be returning home to Nanaimo this summer, and will look you up to
bring a few more home with me. The school I work at is very interested
in purchasing them. SO I'll be in touch. By the way, one of the songs
Koko sings to the children is as follows: ( Sung to Fred Penner's
'Poko' tune!)"

"Hi Paul and
Catherine,
I bought one
of your creations while we were in Qualicum for the
summer, and brought it to keep at my home for my 3 year old niece.
Grace and I always play doctor (chiropractor, dentist, M.D...you name
it). She's in love w/"Fluffy," and always insists that he gets on the
table w/her. Before I knew it, she was ready for their exam - and I
happened to have a camera in the room. Wish pediatricians would see how
easily these might work for children who might be frightened or
intimidated: the kids could do the procedures first on the 'giggles.'
We have had such great fun w/Fluffy. Occasionally I have to tell her
that Fluffy is visiting at his Mom's, or on holiday, so that I actually
get to spend some "alone" time with her. She won't talk to me on the
phone, but will talk to Fluffy, and is now asking questions about where
Fluffy comes from, and is his Mom a puppet. I think I'll tell her,
"yes, and her name is Catherine."
Blessings
and Light and Grace surround you for spreading such joy.
Hope to see
you when we're back up in the summer. "
Christmas Fun !!!
