Thank-You for all your support and love for Hillcrest everyone!!! I am so happy we're a part of this!!!
These photos shows the pin on the back and a size-idea of the Little Travellers. They also come with a Passport/Card providing info about Little Travellers and Hillcrest Aids Centre and your Little Travellers name :)
A Few Things...
- I've added a section to the sidebar (under the picture of my Happy Little Traveller) showing how many Little Travellers have been adopted thru Freckled Nest and how much money has been raised ...including Freckled Nests' 5% from each sale :)
- We have a Flickr Little Traveller Family Album where you'll see all of our Little Travellers with their new parents name :) (I will update this tonight)
- If you'd like a widget for your blog with YOUR Little Traveller on it, let us know :)
- With the Freckled Nests' 5% of sales, we're partially using this to subsidize shipping costs so that shipping is only $1 to everywhere. (Actual shipping: Canada is $1.10, USA is $1.86, Int'l is $3.60)
- Visit LittleTravellers.net for more information :)
- If you would like to request Little Travellers with a certain name on it, please email me and in the next family, they will be named & reserved for you :)

Stephanie, I'm not sure how much of a shipping delay will occur. But an envelope sent to me on Oct. 18 from Texas, arrived to me yesterday...which is about the same (if not quicker) speed as usual. Shipping from Canada does take longer than shipping WITHIN usa though. Sorry, I don't have a definate answer...

Hi Leigh-Ann!

Thanks so much for all you've done with Little Travellers so far. It means so much to Hillcrest AIDS centre and all the women who bead these precious little dolls. The names you've given them are adorable.
