Elf on the Shelf

I confess, I only really noticed this tradition last year, and only because of a friend.

I liked the funny photos she took every day of the mischief their elf got into.

So, I decided I wanted to do this for Christmas 2012.

But I read another blog about it and the blogger's daughter said everyone in her class had one. The same one. She wanted a different elf.

Me too.

Going through the attic today, I found my own little elf.

Kind of old school, but she has a beanbag type body and a head that turns.
