I Am Not Alone {FREE Printable}

A while back I purchased a minimalistic, white matted frame in hopes of finding or creating a colorful printable for it. I'd planned on displaying it on our entryway table and filling it with a Bible verse or scripture related text, as an easy way for my family to soak up encouraging word throughout our day. 

After sifting through countless bible verses, the message that resonated with me the most, ended up being lyrics to one of my favorite Christian songs - "I Am Not Alone". It was written out of inspiration from Exodus 14:14

- The LORD will fight for you; you need only to be still. -


When returning from a stress-filled day, it's a nice reminder to come home to: cast your fears, anxiety, and hopelessness upon Him. He has it. He has you. I searched for existing printables with the verse I wanted, but only found one. It was nice, but wasn't the color, font or overall design that I wanted... so I made my own.

I'm SO excited for the holiday season! Thanksgiving is almost here, but I just couldn't wait and put out my Christmas decorations last night - don't judge. Is it just me or do stores not sell timeless, quality Thanksgiving decor anymore? I want to decorate for Thanksgiving, but I can't seem to find nice things. I've found table runners that I love, but they're never long enough and I can't sew a custom one on my own. One year I found a gorgeous, white crackle-glazed turkey centerpiece at Williams-Sonoma. It was over $200, and I just couldn't bring myself to spend as much, hoping to catch it on clearance. Unfortunately, I waited too long, hoping for a deeper discount and missed it. Since then, I haven't found anything that I've loved as much. I've searched for that darn turkey for y-e-a-r-s on eBay to no avail.  I swear... nothing haunts you like the things you fail to buy.

I've been casually pinning ideas to my Christmas with the Elf on the Shelf board throughout the year, and find that each season becomes more and more difficult to find new ideas. This will more than likely be our last year with the elf, as our son goes into 6th grade next year. Kids don't really believe anymore at that age, do they? Anyway, lets move on to something more cheerful, and get ready to enjoy the best time ever with our beloved elves! 

All printables, including this year's 2015 calendar are available at the bottom of this page, as well as Amazon affiliate links to Elf items that I'll be using this season (and other fun accessories). Here's a glimpse of this season's fun

1. Elf flew in, hanging from a bunch of balloons. He even wrote a few notes for you on them.

2. Goofing off - the elf is found buried in your toy chest (ours will be swimming in a pool of LEGOs).

3. Trash day - bake some muffins for the trash company guys and write them a sweet thank you note for the great job they do.

4. Pranked! The elf thought your eggs could be a bit more festive - he broke in and dyed them red and green.

5. You did such a great job loving on your Elf Pets reindeer last Christmas, that the elf entrusted you with a new recruit for the season.

6. PJ twins - the elf is sporting some PJs and brought some for you too.

7. Gather up all of your unloved toys and outgrown clothes, to donate to children in need. Drop them off at a donation center.

8. Roadtrip - the elf is buckled up in the car, ready to run errands. He even brought his tablet to entertain himself on the road.

9. Deck the halls - your bedroom door has been decorated!

10. Bake dog treats and bring them to the local animal shelter, for the puppies who don't yet have a home (check with your local shelter; I found one 5mins from our house and emailed them to find that they gladly accept homemade treats).

11. Silly String fight! The elf brought some silly string for you and your family to use in a battle.

12.Hanging around - the elf made a tire swing with a mason jar lid and some string.

13. Bible study - elf is studying the Word of God.  "Buddy the Elf.  What's your favorite color verse?"

14. Gift wrapped - the elf covered your school backpack with wrapping paper!

15. All I want for Christmas is you - Elf has been using your iPod to text his crush.  He finally worked up the nerve to ask her on a date. (go to iFakeText and create your own conversation.  Then, save it as a photo and bring it up on the iPad/iPod as a full-screen pic)

20. Hot chocolate party - the elf brought you ingredients for some tasty hot cocoa.

21. Thief! The elf stole all of the candy canes off of the tree!

22. Your Elf Pets reindeer has been munching on your poinsettia plant!

23. The elf brought a Santa beard lollipop and is wearing one himself.  Take a pic with him, wearing your matching beards! (I found giant, white Santa beard lollipops at Target for $2)

24. Pay it forward - buy a meal for someone.

25. Make a handwritten card for a dear family member. Color them a nice picture too.

FREE Printable Valentine's Day Pop Rocks Tags

Did Valentine's Day creep up on you, again?  Let me guess - your kid's classroom Valentine exchange and party are tomorrow, and you still haven't purchased any cards, favors, candy, food, etc.  Don't worry!
I have you covered on the Valentine cards, so just pick up some Pop Rocks and a bag of animal crackers for the party.  Let's be honest; those crackers are always welcome in any classroom.

Be sure to check out my other Valentine's Day post, where I provide you with a quick lunch idea, to make their day special. 
 

I like these little tags, because they're appreciated by girls and boys.  No need to buy TWO different packages of cards, for each gender.  Just print these out, and carefully staple them to your candy packages.

Make Your Elf on the Shelf Bendy! A Quick and Easy Tutorial

Reese, has been practicing Yoga, while on his extended vacation. He has to be in tip-top shape, if he wants to pull off all of his tricks and adventures.  His favorite poses?  --> Quarter Dog, Open Triangle and Warrior

I've wanted to make Reese more flexible for a while, but only found tutorials involving a snip of the Elf's hands and feet, or an invasive needle and thread operation.  Well, guess what? I can't sew, in fact, I wouldn't be able to reattach a button to a shirt, if it came to it. 
When I took out Reese the other day, I inspected his seams and found an easy way to insert bendy wires into his limbs, without cutting or sewing him back together.   

Check out my other Elf posts for printables, calendars, and more ideas



Make Your Elf on the Shelf Bendy! A Quick and Easy Tutorial {by Domestic Femme} #modify #customize #bend #bendable #flexible #pose #poseable #posable #put #wire #in #tutorial #how #to #no #without #sew #sewing



Instructions:


1. Take floral wire (any gauge) and gently insert into your Elf's arm, between one of the seams - just poke around until you find a looser area; I had the best luck at the end of his hands.

2. Once you thread the wire through and hit the Elf's shoulder, pull it back out a bit.

3. Snip off the excess wire, and gently push it all the way in, using either your finger or scissor tips. Repeat these steps on the other remaining limbs.

Like how he resembles one of those arm flailing, inflatable tube men? Enjoy your more lifelike elf!
