Hi Everyone today is Day 10 of the Elf antics linky,
For those of you who came in late this is what is happening...
Guess who's back? If you guessed Hope, you are right.
We have been talking about it and she (Hope) thought it would be nice to have 12 days of giveaways. Here is how you can be involved in the giveaway.
You can leave a comment or/and you can enter the elf antics challenge by posting your elf doing whatever elves do (family oriented Please).In the area under your entry you can leave up to 50 characters describing what your elf is up to. You can enter and comment up to three times a
day. Make sure you leave your comments on the Post that says what day it is Day for instance this is the Day 9 post.
DAY 10 We started out really early because we had to go downtown to get coffee at the Santa Cruz Roasting Company. They have been around before starbucks. I use to go in there and you would pick the beans you wanted, they would grind them and drip one cup of coffee just for you. That is before pods. Yum my favorite Steve's smooth blend that is what their claim to fame is.
Day 9 We started out to go to church, but my hair was still wet so I thought it would be better that I do not chance a set back after just getting over the cold and Hope was having trouble deciding what to wear. Because My favorite color is green she went for the elf shirt- I just think she is adorable. All she wanted to do was stay home and drink tea out of the Tokyo Disney mug.
Day 8- Our day was full of shopping after packaging and shipping out orders. Hope was looking at all kinds of knick knack stuff. I quickly ruled out knick knacks for anyone. She really loved the verse on the snow globe as do I.
She wanted one of these unicorn headbands so much, unfortunately it did not come in her size.
She also wanted to see Santa, unfortunately he was on break, probably a union Santa. So there was this big moose filling in for him, she was satisfied with this visit.
We were hungry so we went and got a bite to eat and there was a Christmas tree with presents under it. She was certain there was one for her.
She thought this deer matched her T- shirt so she wanted a photo with him. The hubs is helping me out, he is holding her. She really wanted her picture with the deer on the opposite wall but there was a man sitting there eating and we did not want to disturb him. Hence, the lighting not so good here.
Well she managed to talk me into getting her a new outfit, she will probably be wearing it soon. We are both pretty tired now oh then when we got home she helped me do 4 loads of laundry
The prize for Day 9 will be Canvas copr 45 ft of red hemp cord and red clothes pins and a d'vine swirl embossing folder
The prize for Day 8 will be the wired plaid ribbon
Day 7- Hope has really been busy helping me package ribbon and get orders out so today the Hubs and I decided to take her out to lunch at the Harbor. What a great outing and a nice break from all the work.
The Hubs Extra large burrito
She wanted a sip - we said no
After lunch we sat out and looked at the lighthouse.
There is a mini marine museum at the Harbor, she wanted to ride the pelican
Then she wanted to see Mr. Otter
Then she wanted to take in some sun and lay on the relief map of the central coast
She was really happy to be at the harbor and the fact that it was 63 was exhilarating for her
Then it was time to head home and get back to work
The Harbor of Refuge
She decide the prize for day 7 should be some Santa/Grinch crinkle ribbon, she has been working on it so much and loves the colors. She wanted to wear her mink stole that Aunt Jenny got her to the beach and I said no you have to change into something more for the beach. So she picked the tee shirt, but still had to go for the sparkly skirt.
Day 6- Hope was coloring today and decided she want to send someone a coloring book and crayons. Just link up your elves leave a comment on this post for a chance to win this prize.
Day 5- Feeling much better today, I have had a slight cold which I have been fighting. So when Hope and I were at the party they had face painting. She did not want to do it but I had a rudolph nose painted on and then we went and saw Santa. Hope was little reluctant because she is supposed to be on the shelf somewhere. I told her as long as she was with an adult it was ok. Santa was so happy to see her.
Day 4- So I am feeling a little under the weather but Hope wanted to go for a ride. She knew my odometer was going to hit 50,000 soon, like in 2 miles so we took a ride through the neighborhood and looked at the ocean.
I finally got one without her, she is such a ham
Hope is so clever, se loves Santa and she loves the grinch movie, so she came up with this idea for a crinkle ribbon bundle . The Santa/Grinch bundle. It is Santa red and Grinch green 2 1/2 yards of each color for a total of five yards. It is not in my shop yet however the Day 4 prize is this
Day 3 - At the party Hope met this elf, another very quiet and very sweet elf- Do you like going to parties during the holidays?
Day 2- Party in Rochester, MI
We went to a party in Rochester Michigan and drove through the city afterward to see the lights. How many of you do that ?
Day 1-
As most of you know my elf Hope is pretty sweet.
A couple of years ago I took Hope with me to Michigan- she liked the snow. I will tell you more tomorrow...
Hope came in from the cold and it looks like she will be staying awhile she brought her suitcase with her this time. This was last year
Hope sent me a "SELFIE" to let me know she is here- This is from last year
My friend Hope arrived late and all we have been doing is talking and she has been coming up with too many ideas, but I decided to go along with her on them. She will also be helping me with my blog! She is sponsoring the linky again this year, she is having fun making the buttons with me.

I'm wondering if Hope drinks coffee.... it might stunt her growth! Love the Santa buttons!
ReplyDeleteLooks like Hope has had a fun day. I don't drink coffee but I think I would enjoy a trip to that shop just to see how they make the coffee. I don't think we have anything like that over here.
ReplyDeleteSimply so much fun!! I want an elf!
ReplyDeleteJean it is so much fun! You should get one and play with us!
DeleteOOOH! I can almost smell the coffee! That reminds me, I haven't had any yet! xxD
ReplyDeleteFunny, Denise! I was about to say that myself. I've been drinking coffee since I was a kid (like age 8 or 9, with a bit of sugar, but without any milk or cream, I might add. now it's strong, rich and black.) Sometimes my parents would joke about that because I'm only ended up 5'1". Anyway, stunting growth should be a good thing of elves, I'd expect. They can find places to hide better. How does Hope take her coffee? xxD
ReplyDeleteLooks like a wonderful store. Hope looks like she's more interested in the bags of chocolates. xxD
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun day you had, Hope and Diana! I can almost smell the fresh-ground coffee from here! Eli had some fun antics today too but I think the coffee store would have been a better idea!
ReplyDeleteEntry #99 (Day 10.1) - Today my elf Eli decided he wanted to play with the cats. Here he is pictured with Kiwi, who does not feel like playing at the moment. Come back later, Eli!
Yay, Diana and Hope! You have over 100 link-ups for your Elf Antics!
ReplyDeleteEntry #100 (Day 10.2) - My elf Eli was undaunted by Kiwi's refusal to play (see previous photo) so he decided to approach Honeydew. Be warned, Eli, this is a mistake! Please be careful! Honeydew likes to play hard! Stay tuned for next photo!
Entry #101 (Day 10.3) - Oh no, Eli! I tried to warn you! Honeydew thinks you're a toy mouse! Look at those teeth! I will save you, Eli! No elves or cats were harmed in these photos. Eli is fine!
ReplyDeleteEli, you should have known better! Don't you remember a few years ago when you tried playing with Honeydew? It was not a pretty picture but everyone was okay in the end. Here's a link: https://ktdesigns2013.blogspot.com/2015/12/elis-close-call.html
YUMMY! COFFEE!!! I like the idea of going into a Roasting shop... Wish we had one here!
ReplyDeleteTheresa
I might be rethinking this Elf on a Shelf idea... LOL I keep seeing such fun creative ways people are using/sharing them!
ReplyDeleteTheresa
What a day! Not only did Duncan run away, we couldn't find Merry Anne. We discovered her sitting in the snow! So glad she put on her sweat shirt, it is cold out there!
ReplyDeleteYummmm it looks like that store has some wonderful things. I would love to have a cup of coffee right now, I have a headache!
ReplyDeleteI remember downtown Santa Cruz pre-Loma Prieta earthquake so I don't know if the roastery was there then or not. Fresh roasted beans and coffee sounds heavenly!
ReplyDeleteI like going into a Roasting shop. I visit one nearby and I love it! Hi Hope!!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful day,
Migdalia
