After reading your adventure, I found what THIS naughty elf did. Can you believe this?

Oh dear, that is very naughty. Will show my daughter in the morning! Hope the elf has a good excuse!
158553How wonderful that the employees in the hardware store participated in the antics of your elf! I hope Santa rewards them well for taking such good care of elf Lucy.

It was great and quite a few if the staff waved to my daughter and her elf as we left, happy they helped to reunite them. We will be visiting them with some Thank you goodies and some photos for their wall. They have a bear on the shelf for kids to find and Lucy had her pic taken with the bear on her adventures
158553Great story and nice pictures to go with it. And so tradition is born, to be added to and repeated each Christmas. Congratulations.

Yes fun tradition but not sure that my daughter or myself for that matter would care to be overnight without her again not knowing if she would be coming back to our house again
11468Lucky to have found her.It looks like she was hiding in Bunnings,if so you were very lucky to have her found in such a large store.

You're right it was Bunnings fortunately it was one if the smaller ones but yes it is still big. Still can't quite believe they found her.
25212What a simply wonderful adventure Miss Lucy had! She's very sorry I'm sure that she upset her little owner, but exploring is part of her chores. She did come home and will be a good little elf for the rest of the season. Beautiful story for you little one, great job mom. You might need to make a spare or twin so a little heart won't be broken if she disappears again. You never know how ornery elves can be. :~)

Quite the adventure for sure. I did end up making a twin in case the other didnt turn up, which took longer as i made sure to place the fabric pattern as close to the original as possible. My daughter would just know it was different if fabric placement was different but knowing her she would probably still pick up on it she is so observant!

66502What a lovely story. At least it was Lucy who disappeared and not your daughter

So so true. Havent lost a child yet, but I know i would be in a frantic mess. Made sure my kids knew their name address and phone numbers from a young age just in case though
114292I am so glad Lucy was found. I suppose she needed to spread some magic or give the workers some Christmas cheer. Regardless, your daughter should sleep good tonight with Lucy safely home again. Merry Christmas!
How old is your little girl? Our Nora is four.

Yes she certainly spread some Christmas cheer and i suspect the staff at the hardware store were just as relieved to find her as we were. My youngest is 7 and couldn't stop chatting as soon as she had Lucy back in her arms safe and sound again!
109038How awesome. What a great elf story. I guess she is getting into more mischief than Toogie's monkeys! Cuties have such wonderful imaginations! Thank you for the story and smiles.

My daughter wants to write a story book about Lucy's antics so that will be a quiet activity to do on a hot day
14619Just adorable. I will read it to the children I nanny next time they come. They will get a kick out of it. Thanks
173580Oh my gosh, what a great story! I'm so happy it had a wonderful ending. That is quite the adventure for Lucky and a happy story for all to tell.
