Hi friends!
I am SO excited today because today’s the day The 2015 Holiday Elf Planner is being released! Yay! I’ve done an elf calendar for the past few years now (you can find the older ones HERE, HERE and HERE) and this year has to be my most favorite because I’ve asked two of my friends, Crystal Wilkerson and Rebecca Cooper, to work with me this year designing the planner and some other super cute, fun goodies to go with it! I’m so giddy about it! Can you tell?! ;)
Life is busy and can be hectic (especially around the holidays) and I know that if you do the elf tradition in your home that you’ve had one of those nights before where you’re all cozy and warm in your bed and your eyelids are closing when all of a sudden you remember, “I DIDN’T MOVE THE STINKIN’ ELF!!!” Yep, we’ve all been there. That’s where this elf planner idea came from. I just wanted a simple, stress-free way to know ahead of time where I was going to place our elf so that I didn’t have to worry about it and didn’t forget to move it.
Not only is there a filled elf holiday planner for you to enjoy for FREE, but there’s also one that is empty that you can fill in yourself if you’d like to take some ideas you’ve found around the internet and incorporate them onto your own calendar. :)
Along with the FREE Holiday Elf Planner there are some other really cute goodies that you can get to coordinate and have even more fun with your elf this year.
First up is the Holiday Elf Gifts of Gratitude that Crystal has designed.
I love this beautiful and sweet idea! I know that in our family, we are always looking for ways to keep the focus on what is MOST important, especially during the holiday season, and this is just the perfect thing to incorporate with your elf tradition. Gratitude is such an important thing to teach our children and this is a really cute element that you can add to your elf tradition & it’s sure to bless you and your family. You can learn more about it on Crystal’s blog HERE.
Next up is this really cute digital kit that Crystal and Rebecca designed to help document your elf’s adventures this year! As you know, I’ve been documenting our elf, Henry’s adventures on my blog since he came along (you can find those adventures HERE) and I can’t wait to use this kit to document it this year and create either some cute pages for my Project Life, a little mini album or even a digital book! SO adorable!
Here are some sample pages created with the cute collection:
The next thing that is going to help keep your elf tradition more simple, fun and stress-free this year is a list of 40+ easy Elf on the Shelf ideas that Rebecca has on her blog.
With Rebecca’s ideas, the Holiday Elf Gifts of Gratitude and the Holiday Elf Planner – you and your elf are going to be all set this year and have lots of fun adventures together without all of the stress and with the focus remaining on what really is important.
And lastly, I wanted to let you all know that last year, Crystal and I designed this really cute digital kit called, Happy Christmas, and it would be perfect to use with not only your elf photos this year, but just for any and all of your holiday pictures and memory keeping as you document the season.
So there you have it – this year’s Elf goodness is super-sized! We hope you love it! Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope that these goodies that we’ve designed bring you and your family joy and fun this holiday season WITHOUT the stress.
