    hi,

    i have done the book as an elf training guide written by my 1st elf (now got 4). in total book with shipping from the netherlands was £13. a bit much but it will be worth it!

    here is 1 page of the elf training subjects (the pics are on magical holiday home, i had to log out to get the links)

    picture.php?albumid=67&pictureid=397

    and this is the glossary and about author page

  • amy just seen that u would have liked a tea party/pinic, was in poundland today they had the same tea set but without the basket if you anit fussed about the basket. if you were want the basket, i reckon, it would cost about 3 pound to post so could always post one down if u wanted.

    hi,

    i thought about making a scrap book (in ring binder so can be added to) showing/explaining what the elves have got up to. not as easy as i thought, trying to get hold of wrapping paper/scrap book pages for backgrounds that match activities elves have done isnt easy. the local market only had 8 different sheets that didnt say happy birthday (flowers n cars = no use)! and hobbycraft is only small so didnt have much selection.

    i wont give up!! i will find the bits i need.

    I am curious about you Elf training guide, do you have any pic you could add please?

    Thank you in advance
