christmas elf 2010

polkadot

Tootsie's just arrived!And he fits in my Christmas sock from last year that I bought at store21 so that will be his sleeping bag.

Yummy mummy,found a greeting card program called page plus (I just downloaded the basic free version) but its perfect for Christmas cards,and Ive been playing with his passport too-Im thinking of using pictures of different flags instead of stamps,as he's learning about all the countries where his family lives.So thought say "oh he's been to visit Noah and Nana in South Africa-and he was in New Zealand with Aunty and your cousins,oh and he want to Australia to visit the other Aunty...",but Im not completely sold on that idea yet.

The duvet covers are also on Ebeast...Im going to order one next week.DS1 sleeps through everything-but also he still sleeps with "blankie" which covers him completely underneath his doona so he'd def not notice...would just need something for DS2's cot.

I have a friend who makes bunting too so Im thinking of asking her to do some for me.

LittleNicsmummy - thanks for the info on the Next stuff. I love it, but it's quite costly for a couple of weeks use, so I'll have to see how my funds are going later.

I've just been searching for the knitting pattern for a little elf, someone posted earlier. I've looked twice but still can't find it. I wondered if anyone bookmarked it, and can give me the link. Thanks so much.

Just finished Tootsie's passport-going to laminate it when I print it later.It amazes me how you change when you have kids.Im terribly proud of myself over this simple task:D

I found this site: http://www.christmastimeclipart.com/category/christmas-stationery.html has some lovely bits to customise and print.
There is a subs fee (which I might consider paying next year) but if you dont pay it gives a cross shaped watermark-its not very dark so if kids are still too little to read its okay.

hi,

not sure if anyone on here was linked to a group on facebook called CHRISTMAS ELVES 2010 it is due to be archieved very soon and as there is no admin left no-one can change it to the new group. so i have started a new group - http://www.facebook.com/groups/216531835073273/ if you are on facebook and want another place like this to chat and swap ideas etc then please join it, at present it is an open group so anyone can join BUT i may make it admin approved if needed. (last years group had 135 members.) you can also add me as a friend on facebook if you wish.
