THIS IS WHAT GREETS YOU WHEN YOU ENTER MY HOME!

Dana and I made these elves when she was living at home back in her early 20's - the grand-kids love them. Even my big kid (Trevor) I sometimes come home and find the little elves have made a different message! He likes to move things around. The beautiful lady in the left hand corner Meganne made for me and she also gave me the large Angel in the back. I'm a collector of Santas and have quite a few around the place.

Last year, if you remember my theme was Snowmen and so these beauties at the base are from that luncheon. I have cupboards full of Christmas decorations! The candle glowing is Vanilla and Musk - the house smells wonderful. The little Nativity set is up permanently so that people know they've come into a Christian home. The lolly candy canes and jelly beans just get eaten by anyone who wants them!!!! You may notice some of the FSL on the Reindeers they are some that I bought from Shirlene! Thanks for looking, love Chris

Splendid!!! Can't think of a better way to be greeted, except for maybe the addition of a glass of Champies!!!!

They are made from old fashioned wooden cotton reels and I bought the little round balls for their heads. I painted little faces on them some with tears! Ribbon for their arms and legs with a little ball tied at the end! Great fun to do. Love Chris

Thanks Lillian, I love getting all my Christmassy things out. I take them down at Epiphany - the old rule was put them up 12 days before Christmas and take them down 12 days after. I put my tree and decorations up though on the first Sunday in Advent. Love Chris

Those little elves put a smile on my face. They are so cute. I hope you do not mind me stealing the idea possibly for next Christmas. Everything looks beautiful
