Hi Everyone!

Just wondered how people are going to introduce the elves 'Facebook account' to their children? Are you going to request yourself as a friend so on your 'normal' FB account, you have your elf as a friend and show your children that way? I am so confused.........!!!!!!

I have added myself as a friend on my elfs face book once he arrives I am going to send a friend request to my daughter (15) - my 8 year old does not have an account.

I got my elf, from ebay he is fab, the pic is not so great as i sneakily took it so the kids could not see

my kids do have facebook accounts - including the 1yr old - i needed extra friends for a game so set them up accounts - there are no pics of my kids on their page and they have limited friends - family and my 2 best mates who are their godmothers. so once bertie has a few more elf friends, i will send them friend requests.

the older 2 only play the game i needed friends on and with 1 of us nearby so they dont add random ppl etc.

Well, I've just been having a conversation with myself on facebook (between my 2 elves), whatever next?!!:rotfl: Nice to have some new elfie friends on there!

knithappens - it's a good idea to have other elves/friends visiting for a short spell. It will help to keep the whole thing fresh, especially if you intend doing this for a few years and get short of ideas! My elves have got a friend who specialises in baking who's going to be popping by to make mince pies, leaving gingerbread men to decorate etc! You could always keep an eye out at charity shops for little friends!

For anyone still looking for an elf, if you search on ebay for 'gnome' in the soft toys and stuffed animals section, there's a couple of possible elves. Including one that's perfect if you like your elves a little plump! :rotfl:Sorry, I can't post links.

i am getting a new elf this year - it will be coming as an "elf in training". AND to make it even better OH has said i can get a 2nd new elf so that each of the boys has 1!!!

:Dhaven't had the time to do anything with my facebook elves yet apart from setting their accounts up... but thanks to all of you that have requested / confirmed friends with my two (dixie crackerjingles and bauble sprout).

I've flicked on to FB earlier and some of your posts and photos have made me laugh!!

I was tempted to put some piccies on of mine from last year but we had different names for them and I am not sure if the Tatty Teddys have the mischevious look I am after this time!

Am spending the weekend looking at christmassy displays on the hope I can find a boy and girl that aren't the same as anyone elses!!

wish me luck!!
