Christmas elf activities.........

rinroo

Well, I've finally ordered my Elf. After persuading myself that even at 5 & 8 my boys are still young enough to have fun with this.

Marvin Moonkin he doesn't look very Elf like, so I'm going to buy a few bits and bobs (mini jingle bells, felt, snowflake brads etc) and christmas him up.

I've set up a blog http://marvinmoonkin.wordpress.com/ needs tweaking. I haven't let my elf join facebook yet as I was waiting until I had bought him so he can have a picture.

There's lots of ideas on here that I hope people wont mind if i "borrow" the magic snow idea, and stocking sleeping bag are too cute not to use.

I need to pull my finger out and get it all done ready for Dec 1st.

ok i know its a bit early as they havent even arrived yet but has anyone got any good poems or ideas for a message for the elf to leave on xmas eve when he/she goes home with santa for the kids to find xmas day?maybe with a little gift

i was thinking something along the lines of/including

If you search in 'Craft' on ebay for bells there are loads which are all quite cheap!

just had a thought with regards passport stamps - i am going to get a stamp from vistaprint (and maybe few other bits) and use that on their passports - if i put the date as DEC 1st 20.. signed...... the "authorities" have to sign and add the extra 2 dates!


this is certainly going to be easier than re-printing it every year! (like i have done for past 2 years)

yummy-mummy-amy - Thank you thank you thank you!! You've solved my stamp problem! Have ordered stamp for just £4.02 P&P/VAT, (thanks to Emzy81 for link). I went for the star one, on the first line I put 1 DEC 20 (in bold), second line - LEAVE TO ENTER, third line - UNITED KINGDOM. So pleased!

rinroo Can I add a link on my blog to Marvin's blog please?
