Elf on the Shelf!

Finished the "prototype" pillow!  I think I can make the real
one now!  Posing with our new "Elf on the Shelf," Brownie!

So I don't have kids.  HOWEVER, I have a love of fun things.  I recently found out about the "Elf on the Shelf" and I am in love!  This is the most fun idea and I love that he (or she....they have a skirt that you can get and *poof!* you have an elflette!  I know a lot of people were interested when I mentioned this on facebook, so here are some mischievous ideas for YOUR EOTS!

• put green or red food coloring in the milk and wrap his arms around the jug
• replace family pics with his face picture
• sit him up by the stove with a mini marshmallow on the end of a toothpick and make him have a bonfire
• have him draw mustaches on the faces of the people in pictures you have hanging up
• squeeze toothpaste out into the bathroom sink
• make a "snow angel" on the counter with flour or sugar
• make a zipline with cord and a candy cane
• set him up like he's reading a book to the other toys
• hang him from a ceiling fan with a coloring picture taped to him.  Then have coloring pages on the floor like the fan blew them around
• toilet paper a room, the christmas tree, or just a little area
• have him "go fishing" into a bowl of gold fish crackers
• have some army men "arrest" him
• color the toilet water with green food coloring and glitter
• replace the hanging stockings with undies!  Have him hanging from one of the stocking holders
• sit him in front of a paper and have him "write a letter" to the kids
• lay him in a "hammock" that you made out of something 
• sit him in front of the TV and turn on a Christmas movie
• make a fort out of legos and have a "snowball fight" with hot chocolate marshmallows
• while the kids are sleeping, paint the tips of their noses red (like Rudolph!)  Have your EOTS hiding with a sign that says, "GO LOOK IN THE MIRROR!"  You can also hit his nose with a little red paint!

Do you have any fun EOTS ideas?!  I'd love to hear them!  

Very PINTERESTING!...........

Holy moly.........this website is RIDICULOUS!!!  I have made so many fun projects!  Of course you want to see them all in one place.......RIGHT?!

Paper Medallion--made from cardboard and pages out
of an old book!  I also added a small craft mirror.

A few years ago, I bought some frames at Target (on clearance!)
for $1.48 each.  I spray-painted one of them with a stone-finish
spray and allowed it to dry.  Meanwhile, I took a piece of
scrapbook paper and cut out a pumpkin template.  I hot glued
buttons on it, added a stick from my backyard as a stem,
and curled some floral wire around the top for pumpkin vines.
VIOLA!

An old wire hanger, dollar store Christmas
bulbs and ribbon, and hot glue.  That's it!

Jute cord, beads, knots, and a button.  Instant bracelet!

Cardboard (cut into oval shapes), Fall scrapbook paper, jute
cord, floral wire, hot glue, and beads.  So simple!!!

 

Cardboard squares, clearance fabric, buttons, and hot glue!
Seriously........that's it!  I saw this idea on Etsy and it was
selling for $90!  (Hers was on canvas and her buttons were
sewn on) But I thought it wasn't too bad of a knock-off!

This is a TEMPLATE of a baby gift I'm making.  Hopefully
the real one looks better!  I made the pattern myself (out of
newspaper) and just eyeballed it.  I will post pics of the REAL
one when I'm finished!

Found this idea on Pinterest.  I had never heard of it, but
it is so stinkin' cute!  Google it and find out!!

My first recipe that I tried from Pinterest.
It was a pizza casserole.  Pretty good.  But once
I had it made, I realized it was just a glorified
Johnny Marzetti......I don't like Johnny Marzetti......
Oh well.......

So I'm pretty much obsessed with the website.  Come find me if you're interested in what I'm following!  (http://pinterest.com/comiller3/)  And if you are curious about it and have yet to check it out, let me know your e-mail address and I'll invite you!

HAPPY PINNING!!!!!!!!
