These are my two from last year. I couldn't get elves but I got these from a a shop called Pound Stretcher. They were £3.99 each. My children were thrilled and the rest of their antics were photographed on my mobile for which the staff where I work were asking me each day 'What did Santas Helpers get up to.



Some of their antics were


And this




One of the best things I done was to put fake snow on the window and let them write their names in it. Kids totally believed it and told them off. Lol

Yay my american elf arrived today!! :j :j wasn't expecting him this quickly so im really please about that. I ordered him on the 1st November and I noticed a couple of people have ordered this elf too so I thought id let you know that it should be arriving very soon

His name is Jangles Frosty-Socks it was going to be Sparky Frosty-Socks but it just doesn't sound right in my head Going to set up a facebook page for him tonight and make lots of friends requests :j

Where is everyone getting their journals from? Im having a crafty block with these journals :mad:

Berryjingles Going to have a look in Tesco for that reindeer for him to arrive on And Ive just seen your passport and think its brilliant!

MrsCrafty Your Santa's helpers are lovely

Yummy-mummy-amy Jingle-Jangles looks great! Well done with the jazzing up, he is really cute

Muffins That box sounds really nice, I might have a look and get one for mine to sleep in too

Nuttybabe Love your sock monkeys!

Does anyone else wish it was almost the 1st of December? Im getting so excited!!!

Thank you

Thank you

some people do do it as a scrap book with fancy pages and photo edging etc, ours is simple his book of "notes" and "letters" and "clues" to the kids, about where he is hiding, and if he has to go anywhere, and they can write back to him in it.

i dont think there is a "Set way" to do it, do it how you feel most comfy with.

Oh dear, one of my elves on facebook has been suspended from making friend requests for 2 days, due to requesting friendship from strangers, which is seen as spam!! :eek: How do they know I'm requesting strangers?! I've only added elves from the 'people you may know' tool, and no more than my other elf who hasn't been suspended! They did say I could contact them and plead my case if I felt I had been treated unfairly. Yes, I can see how that would work... I am a Christmas elf and I've been adding all my elf friends that live at the North Pole with me.:rotfl:


yummy-mummy-amy - Loving Jingle-Jangles jazzed up look!

lucasmum - Thanks, I'll have a look for the arts & craft things in Wilkinsons.

Emzy81 - Ooh, my US elf for my nephew should be arriving soon then, hopefully! Thanks for saying you like my passport, though when I looked at it on my blog I realised I'd put issue date 16 Nov on the passport, so it's arrived 10 days before it's supposed to lol! I think I may edit the date of the blog post before the kids see it, don't want any inconsistancies!

yay got sleeping bags for my elves today, was going to make them myself out of santa hats but was in a pound shop and seen these fabric bags, one red and green and one blue and gold and thought they would match the elves. Also got 2 small raindeers from tescos so thats their pets and what they will 'arrive' on. just got to wait for snowy to arrive and the 1st of dec.
i dont know how to add pics of the bags on here so going to add them to fb
