elf on the shelf intro

we are living with my parents right now and i figured what better time to invite our elf on the shelf than when living with the 7 year old little girl who is questioning her belief on all things magical.  although i have to admit i'm kind of smitten with minty myself!!  our elf is named peppermint but prefers that we call him minty.  today he brought a special letter from santa claus with instructions and information about our elf and doughnuts for the whole family, including himself what a smart elf!  we are so excited to see what happens every day this holiday season! 
Merry Christmas all!!

the cups of cake have been delivered. 

the cupcake delivery went pretty smoothly this morning.  2 dozen funfetti cupcakes, & 2 dozen red velvet cupcakes.  i was lacking cupcake inserts for the boxes, that made delivery a little difficult.   they shifted in the boxes a little but they still looked completely fine when i got to the house.  i spent quite a bit of time on the red velvet's but the hard work paid off.  these were for a bridal shower and the wedding is going to be vintage with a lot of lace and twine, hence the red velvet decorations!  hopefully i can make this more of a regular thing.
