Thank you so much for the link! In regards to customising a red fleece or blanket, ikea are selling felt decorations and they would look great seen on to blankets or cushions!

Hi i followed this last year but my little boy was too young, i am so excited to be starting this year. Our elf is called Frosty Snow-Sprinkles. I am trying to set him up a fb page but it keeps saying that i am not allowed as he doesn't have a real name. has anyone else had this issue as i know that there are lots of elves on facebook?

yes, I am sure I had this problem when setting mine up on facebook - I think if you change snow-sprinkles to one word (Snowsprinkles) then it will work...

Am sure it was Cracker-Jingles I had an issue with but when I changed it to Crackerjingles, it got accepted!!

Hope this helps!



If anyone is looking for little christmas trees.. I got some lovely ones from Hobbycraft today...they are about 12" I reckon and were £1.99 each - they do them in sparkly pink or silver.

They look lovely when you bend all the branches out - they aren't spindly looking things like you normally find with cheap trees!

Perfect for putting in a kids bedroom window!!

not sure, i havent had any problems with any of mine. maybe take the hyphen out of surname and try that. or set it up under fred smith and then change it. hopefully someone has had problems and can help you more.

well the elves had a halloween party tonight (in my neighbours garden). i had a devil, a wizard and a ghost - all outfits made within 3hrs of me deciding i was doing it. photos will be on facebook tomorrow once my boys have seen them.


hope all are ok and happily planning. x

thanks ladies, i accidently did frost instead of frosty and it's let me do it all ok, went to change the name in the account settings and frosty gets rejected by their automatic name checker! so Frost is ok but not frosty

probably to block people trying to set up accounts like frosty knickers or something like that!!

If you had your heart set on Frosty, you could always try and change it to "frostie".. with an ie not a y??? it may work! x

thanks hadn't even thought of that. Yes i can have frostie or even frosty-snow but not just plain frosty!

thanks for all your help ladies

Hi All

Just to update you all on the elf card list...

I now have 20 names and addresses (including one from the USA)!

Just to emphasise to anyone who is new - the idea is that I send out the list to everyone (around 18th November) and everyone works their way through the list and sends every elf a card from their elf.

If anyone isn't willing to send this many cards out (a lot of stamps!!), then please PM me to remove you from the list! It really isn't fair if people receive 20 cards but aren't prepared to return the favour .

Thank you!

***PLEASE can i just say IF any of you are on the USA site, they also have a list of elves for card swap so can you please check both lists so you dont end up sending 2 cards to the same people.***
