Christmas Elves

 The countdown begins.


Hello friends!

Today I am featuring my elves.


Mom made the runner,
whilst my now deceased aunt knitted the mittens.


It was a game we played when the grands came over.
I would hide these elves all around the house,
and they would look for them.


Each day they spent here at Christmas time,
they would be moved to a new location.


Since that will not be happening this year,
just decided to leave them out in the open.


All 4 of them.


I so love my new amaryllis plants.

I sold these faux beauties in the store,

and decided to keep 2 for myself.

Well off to the store.

Continued prayers for SIL much appreciated.

My brother is doing better.


Christmas Elf Blessings To All!

  1. I think your elves are happy to take a break from constantly being moved around. My daughter Christine uses her elf on the shelf to leave a wrapped present book each day of Advent for her two boys. The first thing in the morning, they hunt for a new book. They love reading.

    Stay safe and well.
    Hugs, Julia

  2. Well, your elves are not as scary as some I have seen. I know someone who has basketfuls of these guys and some could give me nightmares LOL. I really LOVE your Santa and his sleigh picture!!! ~Robin~

  3. So you invented Elf on the Shelf? When I saw your elves it brought back so many childhood memories. My Mom always had them and she would have a ladder on the tree with them climbing up. Your tradition is one I'm sure your Grands will miss this year too. I'm sad we're spending Christmas without a family gathering but we'll get by and next year will be better! Have a good rest of the week!

  4. Janice, I love your Santa and his sleigh picture too! Is it a scherenschnitte? Or is it cross stitched? It's really lovely. Love your elves! Jan in MA
