Day 3 of Husker the Elf

This morning we found Husker in the living room driving my daughter's Barbie car with Barbie. Maybe he was taking her out on a date?!? :)

Katelynn: OH MY GOODNESS!!! Sucker is in my Barbie car with Barbie. Silly Sucker!

Meet our Elf "Husker"

This year we started the "Elf on the Shelf" tradition. On Saturday our elf arrived via the North Pole. There was a note on the front door telling my 2 kids to look in the garage. There on the step in the garage they found a card and a bag. Inside the bag was our new elf and the card from Santa told them to name the elf and to be good. My son named him "Husker" but my 3 year old calls him "Sucker". We then came to the living room and Santa had DVR'd "The Elf on the Shelf" movie so we watched that and learned more about what our elf does.

 On Sunday we found Husker fishing for goldfish crackers. He was there all day and never caught a one LOL

Monday we found Husker getting a pony ride from my daughter's My Little Pony. He fell off  the pony after lunch somehow. Guess he got tired of holding on all day.

Stay tuned until Christmas to see what else Husker ends up doing :)

What a busy week I had

I participated in a craft show on Mother's Day and it went well. I had fun catching up with Christine from Pedestrian Designs since we shared a booth space. We used to be neighbors :) The weather was way better than it was last year which was nice. The week leading up to the craft show was full of late nights and early rising and no naps :(

I made laminated bookmarks, spiral notepads, paper clip bookmarks, and Tooth Fairy tins just for the craft show. Sold a few of my Tooth Fairy tins and a few bookmarks. I can't wait to make some more and work on some custom orders. You can find the tooth fairy tins and the bookmarks at my Etsy shop

Here are some pics of the stuff I brought to the craft show:
