Adorable items!!!! :)

I think I have a metal sleigh in my stash of Christmas totes (in 23 totes, I must have an extra sleigh)....

Love the ornament "carrots for the reindeer" because that is what we leave out every year!! Nothing better than waking up to a welted carrot! :rotfl:

buffy told me I couldn't go shopping anymore... :rotfl2::rotfl2::rotfl2: I just want y'all to know that EVERYTHING still fits into one elf tote thing. :rotfl2::rotfl2: (all the reindeer, elves, sled, tent, teacup...) my elf notebook is right on top in case I need it to put other stuff in it throughout the year. I did print out the prep and landing stuff (play set, ornaments) and put those in the book because I was afraid they wouldn't be there next christmas :)

I FOUND AN ELF!!! will post pics later but I am soooo excited!! And of all places - my hair salon.:confused3

Clearance!

He is so cute but quite a bit bigger than your elves. But thats OK - at least its not a hand painted scary elf!!

they had 3 "elf on a shelf" kits too if anyone needs one at a discount I would be happy to go get it and ship it!

How much was the "Elf on the Shelf"? Not my favorite elf, but not as creepy as some of the others. Princess is DYING for one!

hallmark was 75% off today and had some cute stuff for use with your elf. :) they had some cute gingerbread house ornaments (felt and cardboard maybe?) that are perfect elf size and the xmas jingle beanies are cute, bought the striped red/green dauchound (sp?) he's super cute and again, perfect elf size... they also had a random elf I've never seen but since he was cute, he came home with me. :)

There is a website (Elves Around The World) that has the cutest elves around. They have different colored hair and skin to choose from. I think they look like the old fashioned elves like I has when I was a child...very cute and NOT scary!

Oh Yay!

The "Elf on the Shelf" is around $30, but you should really check out the elves from "Elves Around The World". They are so cute, come in lots of choices and are completely posable. The complete set is around $35, but you get an Elf, a book and a music CD.
