Elf on a shelf...

[Chellxx]

... ive been looking for an elf for ages but couldnt find one... i went to tesco today and found these. they didnt have a girl elf so i got maycie a penguin but santa will send them on 1st december with their calendars and christmas cards ive done them on moonpig. As they get bigger i think i'll change the elfs but as they are still so little (and wont have a clue about elf on the shelf let alone the antics they will get up to ) i thought teddies will be ok for now

It's where Santa send an elf to watch over your children and report back to Santa. They get up to all kinds of antics and bring presents etc,

They were only £7 and are bigger than my ds so a bargain even if you just buy for a present

This is the site I found, had to search through my history ( now that was scary I only went back 2 days and can't believe how many Xmas related websites I've been on in 48 hours. I wouldn't mind but I've not even been on it much as Maycie has had an upset tummy ) I can't wait to see what our elf and penguin get upto

How fab! I searched eeeeeeverywhere last year for an elf because I didn't want to buy online, wish I'd have waited now before I went and made one

Aww I like him! I bought one today from homebase for £15 and he's cute but I think I prefer yours!

Now you have to post a pic. I wanted to hand make one but i just dont get the time. I have a knitting pattern for jack frost that i am going to make for next year and he can be sent from santa next year.
