Jasper the Elf

I am nothing but a tease. Promises of more posts and then poof gone again.

I've actually jumped on the Pintrest bandwagon and soo completely addicted! My crafting urges have been dormant until I discovered Pintrest. The little princess' birthday was earlier this month and I went over and above for a perfect princess party. That event deserves a post of it's own. I promise, promise, promise, promise to post. Just because I already have tons of pics and I must share because it was such a great little party.

Now that the holidays are upon us I am having a little fun in honor of Pintrest sparking my creativity flame. I bought this funny little elf when I was "scratching my itch" at Nordstrom last year. I actually helped out again this holiday, but it is very sporadic as I had already planned to spend Thanksgiving with my family in CA. My old manager was relocated to another store so it really wasn't the same without her. Her passion for styling was contagious. I was disappointed that I couldn't work with her again this year. The upside is that I still get the discount!!

But I digress. Elf on the Shelf was kind of an old tradition that resurfaced and now he is everywhere. Elf on the Shelf is Santa's eyes and ears, he reports back to Santa every night, and each morning he finds a new spot to rest. This year instead of just moving Jasper around the house, I am having a little fun with him. Take a look at his first two days with us.

Jasper is normally clad in a read suit with white collar. Since this was his debut for the season, he really wanted to make a grand entrance. Ken, Barbie's beau, generously loaned him this fabulous suit. Doesn't Jasper look dapper?

Jasper was having a little fun doing wheelies on a bike he found in the playroom. He saw a couple Xmas ornaments hanging out and asked them if they wanted to go for a joy ride.
