Free Printable Elf on the Shelf mini letters and envelopes that you can customize before you print. Editable PDF.

So, the way I figure it, there are two kinds of Christmas people in this world. The kind who love and embrace that cute little Elf, and all of the rest, who shall collectively be referred to by me as either other people, or Scrooge. Because, really LOOK at that face. How can you not love me?! When you add in all of the fun and mischief, the looks on your own kids' sweet faces, and the endless list of believable excuses for why he didn't move, I can't think of any reason not to love this little guy in his red pointed hat. It's no secret among my close friends, that I get a bit fanatical with our little Alfie each year. He's been known to pop up in unexpected places, from the light fixture, to the top of the fridge, even the rear-view mirror on our way to Disney one year. I may or may not have frosted an Oreo Elf Cake, put a birthday hat on Jesus, thrown marshmallows all over my kitchen, poured sprinkles all over my table, and drawn on all of our photos. And you know what's more? I may or may not have had as much more fun than my kids in the process. In our house, Alfie (my children aren't very original when it comes to Elf naming), comes on December 1st, and each year, he brings a letter to announce his arrival. Each year the letter is a little bit different. Here's a peak at his welcome letter from 2014. That year, he brought each kid a (clean) garbage bag and sent them to gather some toys for some other little girls and boys. (Obviously, I'm in need of help. After spending far too long writing this year's letter, I can't seem to stop rhyming!) This year, the kids and I had already cleaned out their toys and donated what we could. And thanks to an exceptionally busy work schedule this week, I didn't even realize it was November 30th until about 2 hours ago. So, this year, Alfie wasn't as elaborate or creative in his note. And he didn't bring gifts, treats, or props. But you know what's great about this tradition? That's OKAY! Not only is every year a little bit different, every DAY can be a little bit different. Drop the ball last night? No worries, there's always tonight! I mean, I'm sure it was just too cold for Alfie to fly all the way to the North Pole, or that he had such a great spot, he wanted one more day to watch, or that he wanted to see if the kids could "spot the difference" from yesterday. Maybe he was sleeping in, and will sneak off while we're heading to school. See, friends? Even the most disorganized among us (ahem, ME!) can have fun with it this little guy! So, since I was in a bit of a time (and treat) crunch, and since I was WAY too tired after a 12 hour shift in the ER to whip up some elf-sized cherrios donuts, I threw together this simple letter to announce his return. Now you get my quandary with the rhyming, don't you? What can I say, it's a sickness. I really like that this letter addresses another common issue I hear from some of those other people. Those who are concerned that yet another little man in a red and white suit might further take away from the true meaning of the holiday season. I actually totally understand this concern, and it's definitely valid, but I think you can add deeper meaning to just about anything. And I think sprinkling a little bit of fun in with your lessons is a great way to keep kids engaged and involved. Since I know I'm not the only procrastinator this year, and because I had so many requests last year, I thought I would share the blank letter template with all of you. You can click here for a JPG version, and here for a PDF version. I'm sort of new to this whole file-sharing world, and while I love a good DIY, no one has ever accused me of being tech savvy. Tips, complaints, and any better ideas are more than welcomed in the comments! Since I know some will want to know, the fonts I used on my letter are Bebas Neue and Contribute on the letterhead, and Mountains of Christmas for the body of the letter. I hope this helps all of you Elf Lovers, and maybe even converts a few of you Scrooges out there. Oh, and be prepared for plenty more Elf posts this month. I might be a little obsessed.

Hello again, Tonight, I am pleased to share with you my latest personal project - "Elvish Trees", in which I was inspired by J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle Earth Elf culture. For stylistic reference I looked at the illustrations in The Lord of The Rings novels but created my own original designs which I could imagine to be on things like banners of the different elvish families. I started out, as usual, with pencil sketches. Then, I finessed each sketch in Adobe Illustrator and established my colour palettes. After which, I brought the rendered trees into Photoshop to add some texture effects. Alda “Alda”, in Quenya meaning "tree" Ornë Ornë in Quenya meaning 'slender tree' Lûth Galadh “Lûth Galadh”, in Sindarin meaning "Spell-Tree" Prints can be found on my Society6 and RedBubble shops. More merchandise will be made available in the following weeks. That's it for now. :)

It's that time of year again. It's a time of year when we are filled with excitement, busyness, lots of parties and lots and lots of delicious, fattening food. It's also a time when our Elves come out to keep an eye on our kids. You know, to make sure they are being nice, and not getting caught doing something naughty. Heaven knows no one wants to be put on the naughty list! (I've never been a fan of threatening kids to be good or else they'll be put on the naughty list.) But, who has that much time to dedicate to setting up the Elf each night in his clever scenarios? NOT ME! If you do, I look up to you. Really, I do. I also enjoy checking out all of your elves' funny mischief on Instagram! (I assume you've read the article that talks about the ways we're making parenting harder... Spoiler Alert: Elf on the Shelf is on the list) There has got to be another way, right? I assume I'm not the only parent who feels like I have a full plate. Well, My friend Sheila over at Pennies of Time got me thinking that there IS another way! Although I love her replacement for the Elf on the Shelf, I was inspired. Thanks to her & my grandma both. My grandma passed away earlier this year. In her passing, I received this cute little vintage elf. In all honesty, I took him because I thought he would be our Elf on the Shelf. Little did I know, he would help me reinvent the Elf on the Shelf idea completely. My grandma was a beautiful woman, inside & out. She was nothing but compassionate in every single thing she said. Ever since she passed away, I've wanted to bring more of her into my life. More kindness. More cuddling with babies. More smiles. More butterfly-cut grilled cheese sandwiches. More listening. More love. More chocolate milk. More of focusing on what's most important. More of her. As Christmas drew near and I started seeing more & more pins about the Elf on the Shelf ideas, I started to wonder what I should do with my cute little elf. Then I came across this post on Pennies of Time about how they used a Family Kindness Crocodile to get their kids to be more kind to one another. I decided that our elf would be named Evan, after my grandmother (Evelyn). He still WILL be watching my kids (from the top of our clock... Elf on the Clock?). But he WON'T be causing time sucking mischief (really, I don't have time to do that every night at this point in our lives). He WILL still leave notes. But they'll be notes of kindness, encouragements & compliments. My goal is for him to watch Paige (my 3 year old) & write down at least one thing he sees her doing that is good. That way she'll get positive reinforcement and hopefully she'll be encouraged to be a more kind & a better listener. For example: Evan will comment that he saw Paige sharing with Lindsey (hopefully), or working hard on her speech therapy. He'll be writing notes on The Official Letterhead of The North Pole & you're welcome to do the same, too! Just right click on the image to save & print it. (it's made for a 5x7 size, so you can print 2 per page) For other untraditional ways to use the Elf on the Shelf, click here. *Don't get me wrong, I like the idea of Elf on the Shelf. I just think that my family needs to focus on the positive & on keeping things simple right now. You can still have him doing the silly & mischievous things each night, but also leave a positive letter for your kids, if that's what you see fit for your family. Find out more about Michelle.
