christmas elf 2010

maisiescamp

I bought a reindeer & sleigh made from wicker/gardening wire from my local florists today. I noticed they had them before Christmas for £11 but they were reduced to £5 today. They have some bulbs planted in the sleigh which I am going to take out and then my elves can use it to arrive on next time!

It's my DS's birthday early next month and I'm going to have the elves visit for the day, kids will be so surprised! Just got to think of what mischief/treat they can do/bring. Need something for when son wakes in morning and something for when he gets home from school.

My DD1's birthday is not long after and I've got some white star fairy lights (75% off in sainsburys) that I'm going to have the elves wrap round her bedhead for when she wakes on her birthday.

Buddy has sent the kids an email with a photo of him and his new baby brother who was born on Christmas day. I used an old rag doll that my dd had in a kit as the baby, I drew a face on the back of the head (my dd had already drawn on the front!) and wrapped a bit of felt around it's body to hide the clothes it already had! I even cut a little bit of Buddy's hair to go on the baby. The kids won't actually see the baby in real life, just photos so hopefully it is convincing enough! I'm going to put the photo on facebook too, yummy mummy amy - you may want to show your children as the baby is named in honour of a very prestigious visiting elf who is very helpful to everyone lol! Hope you don't mind!
