Daisy Elf & Holly Elf 12/5/19 - Christmas Cards/Envelopes

Introduced Holly Elf, showed her baking Christmas Cookies, checking out my fireplace mantle Christmas decor and with Daisy Rey & Holly Blossom.

Today, Daisy Elf & Holly Elf are checking out the Christmas Cards/Envelopes I'm almost ready to mail out. I learned calligraphy before my daughter was born and calligraphy sign all cards & envelopes. Had idea to calligraphy write letter inside cards but after one card I saw that would not be happening so I calligraphy wrote the letter, scanned & printed the calligraphy letter. Look carefully to see whose name is on the envelope Holly Elf is holding.

Holly Elf 12/3/19 Cking out my fireplace mantle Christmas decor

Introduced Holly Elf and showed her baking Christmas Cookies.

Today Holly Elf is checking out my fireplace mantle Christmas decor.

See if you can find all the Hot Cocoa theme items. There is a Hot Cocoa sign bought at Michaels 50% off and had an add'l 20% off coupon. The Reindeer wreath was bought at a craft show several years ago. Snoopy Countdown bought Hallmark with promotion that if you bought a Christmas basket for $9 everything that fit into it and even if it did not fit was 20% off. Snoopy Astronaut (did you see the Macy's Parade that Snoopy Astronaut Balloon?) was a birthday present from my daughter. Created the tree sign with black letters, etc. There are Starbucks hot chocolate paper cup ornaments. There are my 2 Red Starbucks cups (on left is last yr & on right is this yr) that Starbucks gave out. This yr they gave out on Nov. 3 as well as today Dec. 3 (I have one from Nov. that I use and the one I got today is part of the display). There is a trunk box with a Cocoa saying on it.
