Elf Antics Day 8

 

Erf and the rest of the elves finally made it back to the Toy Room and were aghast at finding the shelves bare and a peculiar tree standing there.  They were even more surprised at seeing Jemima, as they figured her "Sassy" status pretty much guaranteed she'd be a goner.  But there she was, explaining that the tree was a gift to persuade Santa to allow her to pass out her Grinch buttons to children who came to sit on his knee.

Last year the answer was "No" but Jemima insisted that Elzabet look them over and put in a good word to Santa. Then, if she did, and Jemi was allowed to pass out Grinch buttons, perhaps the toys would return.  Hmmm...  The rest of the elves were still rather speechless seeing the unusual tree, not to mention the lack of toys, but Elzabeth tried to humor Jemima, looking the buttons over carefully.  In her mind, however, she was thinking "No WAY is Santa going to be blackmailed into this!"

You can join the fun AND find out how to get your Grinch buttons (as they are not for sale) at the 9th Annual Elf Antics Linky Party at DL.Art.

Elf Antics Day 7

 Still no sign of the toys.  Elzabet and Olivia were trying their hardest to make the Toy Room festive, adding a few decorations here and there, but this morning when they entered they were surprised by a weird Christmas tree that seems to have sprung up overnight.

Then all of a sudden in popped Jemima.  You remember Jemima, don't you?  Last year she was a new recruit, but Santa's assessment of her attitude deemed her "Sassy".  Santa, of course, being the kind and jolly soul he is, has considered giving her a second chance to make the grade, but I dunno.  "What?  You don't like the tree?" she asked?  HHmmm... Seems like she hasn't lost the 'tude....

My elves are joining the 9th Annual Elf Antics Linky Party at DL.Art.  Why not pop in and see what all the elves are up to in the days before Christmas.  And if elves visit you, why not come join the fun?

Elf Antics Day 6

 

Mystery decided to travel to the bake shop and met a new friend.  Her name is Suzie, and not only is she great at baking, but she has another talent that would be very useful in the Toy Room.  Maybe Mystery can convince her to meet the others after her shift.

All my elves are having fun at the 9th Annual Elf Antics Linky Party at DL.Art.  Come meet their friends, too.

Elf Antics Day 5

 Still unaware of the dilemma in the Toy Room, Erf enjoys a Cocoa break with Rudolph as they discuss ramping up the reindeer training in preparation for the big night.  Santa seems interested, too.

My elves are joining the group over at the 9th Annual Elf Antics Linky Party at DL.Art.  Grab your elf and come play along.

Elf Antics Day 4

 

The elves split up for a while, totally oblivious to the drama in the toy room.  Feenix decided to do a little shopping but Santa seemed alarmed that she was considering browsing the high end stores, fearing she might fall victim to the flash mob looting that is becoming so prevalent in CA cities and elsewhere.  It definitely seems more fitting for her to visit The Christmas Store, don't you think?  

My elves and their friends are thoroughly enjoying sharing their adventures at the 9th annual Elf Antics Linky Party at DL.art.  It's loads of fun.  Why not come join in?

Elf Antics Day 3

Not everyone is stressed out because of the disappearance of the toys.  Erf, Feenix and mini Mystery decided to take a stroll down to see some of the village Christmas lights.  Erf has a new top befitting his position as Santa's chief reindeer wrangler and Feenix is sporting a new hairdo. Mystery is content with her usual uniform.  She especially loves her boots.  She says they are just like Santa's. (I think she sleeps in them.) They seem to be totally unaware of the drama in the toy room.  My elves are sharing their adventures in the 9th Annual Elf Antics Linky Party at DL.Art.  Grab your elf and join the fun!

Elf Antics Day 2

 Well look who's here!  Olivia heard sobbing coming from the Toy Room and rushed in to investigate.  She didn't even bother to change into her "Official Christmas" elf outfit which she was certain Elzabet would disapprove of.  But Elzabet was so upset, she didn't even notice.  OH MY!  WHERE ARE ALL OF THE TOYS? (And for that matter, where are all the other elves?)

Hopefully they all will be found soon or this will be a very dismal month to share with our friends at the 9th Annual Elf Antics Linky Party at DL.Art.  Come on and join the fun! 

9th Annual Elf Antics at DL.Art 2021- Day 1

Can you believe it?   December 1st and I'm again playing in what is now the 9th! Annual Elf Antics Linky Party at DL.Art.  I'm sorry that this is about the only activity you'll see from me here because I've all but abandoned coloring and paper crafting. The good news is I'm an avid doll collector and this event gives me a chance to tell stories and play with a group of my dolls in a fun setting that isn't as fast paced and manic as Facebook.  So there ya go.

Elzabet is back as Santa's head elf and was startled as she entered the toy room expecting to be bustling activity and a room for of toys, but NO!!!  She had taken a short break while the floor was being refinished but where are the rest of the elves, and even even bigger question, WHERE ARE ALL OF THE TOYS?

Come join the fun at the 9th Annual Elf Antics Linky Party and see what elves really do leading up to Christmas.  The party runs through December 24th and you need not post daily but we'd love to see what your elves are up to.

Elf Antics Day 24

Well, it's Christmas Eve and there's still much to be done.  The elves have enjoyed participating in the 8th Annual Elf Antics Party at DL.Art and reading about the adventures of their friends and so have I.  We look forward to it every year.  Today is all about psyching Santa up for for his journey tonight and making sure he's equipped with all he needs.  

Much love from Elzabet, Olivia, Feenix, Erf, Mystery and the rest of the little magical creatures who inhabit my world.  Until next year, Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night.  May the New Year bring healthier, happier times.

Elf Antics Day 23

Oh dear!  Looks like this little new recruit Jemima is not one bit happy.  I wonder what could be wrong, besides the fact that it's almost Christmas and she's only showing herself TODAY!  Elzabet tries to explain that here are RULES, but she's not buying it.  Mystery is totally horrified by her attitude and doubts if she'll make the grade.

Now I see!  It's official.  Santa has made his list, the documents have been distributed, and yes, elves are on it too.  Jemima's has been stamped "Sassy"! (Why am I not surprised?)  Well, I suppose it's better than "Naughty", but we'll probably have to wait until next year to see if she makes the team.  I dunno...

Only one more day to participate in the 8th Annual Elf Antics Linky Party at DL.Art and there so much left to do!  EEEK!

Elf Antics Day 22

 Erf realized, after presenting his reindeer to Santa, that he had left his tent at the lake.  When he arrived, he noticed it had frozen over and there were the Shoohoos, Peregrine and Flurry, as well as Cricket Wrascal, frolicking in the snow and ice.  Erf longed to join them, but he knew there was so much more to do.  It's nearly Christmas!  He thanked them all again, packed up his tent and made his way back to help the others.

Only 2 more days for the 8th Annual Elf Antics Linky Party at DL.Art but you can still catch up on all of the festivities.

Elf Antics Day 21

 

Erf was very excited to show Santa the new reindeer and asked if Flurry would like to come along.  "Oh, no.  That's okay," Flurry replied.  "That's your gig, although I may catch up with him later."  Erf appreciated the gesture and was thrilled at Santa's positive reaction and praise.  Maybe I'll get a promotion next year, he thought to himself.

 (Shoohoos, BTW, are pretty selfless creatures and are happy to help those in need without taking any credit)

Come join the fun at the 8th Annual Elf Antics Linky Party at DL.Art.
