Elf Your Neighbor---Free Printables

We haved been "Boo'ed" in the past but I thought I would start a new neighbohood game---We've Been Elfed!

I created some free printables for you to download and print. All I ask is you become a follower in return :)

To Elf Your Neighbor...Print out two copies of the instruction sheet and two copies of the "We've Been Elfed!" sign.

Include some treats or small gifts in a bag along with the free printables! One of the treats we included in our gift bags were Elf Cookies...our take on Bakerella's Cowgirl Cookies!

Our Free Printable Elf Cookie Labels Here!

Pick two neighbors and follow the free printable instructions to begin Elfing!!!

I created the free printables using free scrapbooking pack from Shabby Princess as well as Free Online Elf Clipart.

Happy Holidays!

Baby Boy Nursery...Need some opinions please??

So I have 13 weeks to go and I have finally settled on a plan for baby boy #3's nursery. It is a completely empty room now with white (eek) walls.

Here is the bedding from Pottery Barn Kids

Here is the crib I am planning to buy but I still can't decide on color...what would you do?

Espresso:

Or White:

I have a changing table/dresser combo from the twins which I plan to paint a navy blue color with the espresso crib or paint it white with the white crib! 

I have a glider and foot stool which need a navy blue slip cover. Looks like I have some upcoming projects to post.

So many choices!! What would you do?
