TGP Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 I am watching a platoon of highly-trained bell-ringers perform Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairies... other Tchaikovsky entirely with Bells. There are 15 or 16 ringers and they must have upwards of a 150 bells --- everything from tiny goblin sized ones to great honkin' two-handed bells. (I'd heard of two-handed swords ... but, bells? ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Qwyksilver Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 I am watching a platoon of highly-trained bell-ringers perform Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairies... other Tchaikovsky entirely with Bells.

(I'd heard of two-handed swords ... but, bells? ) My wife has played in our church bell choir since she was a teenager. Those big bass bells are REALLY heavy. Some are so large that you seldom actually swing it, but use a mallet to play. One of the guys that used to play them used wrist wraps. First time I saw them before he put his gloves on I asked him if he was expecting a particularly difficult service. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackMann Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Got a response from Adrienne asking me for my address so they can send a replacement. All is well! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Darsc Zacal Posted December 28, 2012 Moderator Share Posted December 28, 2012 The first of my 2 12days of Christmas orders arrived today so YAY!

Moderator Darsc Zacal Posted December 28, 2012 Moderator Share Posted December 28, 2012 (edited) Like clockwork, received my 2nd and last order today. Finally I have an artist Sophie! :) No additional surprises though. Looks like Reaper heard about my lack of mini painting this past year and put me on their naughty list. :( I'll paint more next year Reaper! Honest! I promise! ;) Edited December 28, 2012 by Darsc Zacal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Goodchild Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Got home from holidays with family today. There was a Canada Post notice on my door dated today! Yay for not leaving it on the porch; Boo! for the stupid snow storm but for which I'd have been home last night and could have received it today. Oh, well - tomorrow. :) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Last Knight Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 I got my Holiday order with my pinup Bomber Sophie! ReaperBryan, if you read this, tell Adrienne she's a saint! I had a Bomber Sophie in my Christmas present from my parents. Best part? They had no idea there was anything special going on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reaperbryan Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 ReaperBryan, if you read this, tell Adrienne she's a saint! No can do! Nobody's allowed to have a bigger ego than me ;) However, all of us like to get e-mails that say thank you, since we usually get ones with less polite words before the You...
