i just can't seem to find an elf that i have fallen in love with yet. i want a small one really not a teddy type as i am making a little door for the skirting board for him to come out of. i did buy some material to make him a bed but can't start it until i have the elf so i know how big to make it.

how much do you want to spend? i found these on ebay - i was thinking of using as babies as only 6.5inch tall - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Peppermint-Elves-Beanbag-Boy-Gund-Plush-Doll-Elf-BNWT-S-/310345041973?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4842018835 and they are really cute, there are more from other sellers.

Thanks for that Amy but mines a boy! I am bidding on an out fit for him on ebay! Ends the weekend and I WILL win it as I need to photo him for FB and his passport that I am going to cheekily ask you to do! lol
Got the build a bear hat and scarf set and tea set thingy from Argos today! Going to use the teaset case as a suitcase and then bring the cups out for a midnight picnic! At least that way this suitcase has no bears on it! Ooh I need to make a list of what the elf will do each night!!! EXCITED!!!

he's only 6.5" tall so you should be able to make him a small bed from what you have. my 8" elf has the foot of an old stocking, and has xmas ribbon sewed round the top.

the other 2 both have "fancy organza" bottle bags as they have long legs.

the 4th doesnt have anything yet, but i do have loads of the white velvet from where "the elves" made kids stockings last year, so maybe "the elves" could make her a sleeping bag from it!

i have just been on the elf name generator and my elf is called Tootsie Sugar-socks
I can't wait for him to come now so i can make his bed and sort a passport out.
Then i just need to sort of some things for him to get up to, i thought of something really good the other day and i knew i should have wrote it down cos i can't for the life of me remember what it was!
I won't have time for him to come everyday but i really want to make an effort this year.

may do a fb page or blog for him.

I stumbled upon this thread earlier this morning and have spent the ENTIRE day,reading it and its links and looking for an elf for us.

Thank you yummy-mummy-amy for the ebay link to the little gund ones...I bought one too and the name generator has just named him Tootsie Crazy-Legs

I have 2 boys at the moment and am pregnant with a girl-due in January.I was thinking earlier of having a girl come (coz Santa wants the boys to get used to having a girl in the house).Im sure the name will pass for a girl but will the doll?

Thanks Lexuslass for volunteering to take the Christmas Card lists. I would have done it, but I'm busy with the thrifty money thread.

Shall I pm you now, or do you want me to do it closer to the time?
