I broke the "no touch" rule, seen here, which I didn't really get, we'll see as days pass if this was a good idea or not. I can't remember a time when Grant has been so excited about something and he and Mr. Jingles have been having a lot of fun together. I've had Mr. Jingles declare a family movie night, build a Lego Christmas tree, read a story to stuffed animals, suggest making cookies together, and race cars with another toy. Mr. Jingles will not be bringing gifts, and I have a few ideas for how to continue to incorporate Jesus into this idea. I'm excited about this new tradition at our house.
I'm giving my blanket scarf another try today, this time with a dress and cardigan. Lots of layers didn't work so well last time, so I'm hoping it'll work out better this time :) I also opted for my animal print flats, instead of boots like I'd originally intended. My tall boots looked way to "bulky," and since the weather has gotten so cold these shoes have been a bit forgotten.

Adorable look! I am jealous of your bare legs! I really like that you are incorporating Jesus into Elf on the shelf.
ReplyDeletehi dear,i like this bon ton outfit..very nice scarf
ReplyDeleteI love your elf idea as I have wanted to do this for years but didn't know how or figure how to tie the reason for the season into it. So thank you for the inspiration. I just love that blanket scarf on you Ginny. Rachel xo
ReplyDeleteI love this look and the little pop of animal print is just perfect!
ReplyDeleteGreat look!!
Cute look! Love that you're trying out new things with the blanket scarf! Also love that you're incorporating Jesus with the elf!
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of the elf on the shelf! I send pins to my friends all the time for ideas to use with their kids. I wish I had had one!
ReplyDeleteAlthough I don't have kids, I love the idea of an Elf encouraging Jesus and family time! I think I'm going to save this one for later :)
ReplyDeleteI love your scarf, it looks so warm! I hate a cold neck. x

I have 2 blanket scarves I purchased (really reasonably) on GroopDealz but I am still trying to figure out how to wear them without being suffocated! Any hints?
ReplyDeleteGreat idea for the Elf on the Shelf-I've always thought it sounded kind of weird but the addition of Jesus to bring it around to the real reason makes it sound better. Something I'll be thinking about if/when I'm blessed enough to have children.
ReplyDeleteI hope this outfit worked better and you weren't so hot :)
I love scarf... It is really so beautiful and it suits for your dress.. Jaslynn, Bizbilla B2B portal
ReplyDeleteOoh I really like your adaptation of the elf on the shelf. I always thought elf on the shelf seemed so fun for kids, and I like the other message you are incorporating too.
ReplyDeletegood job tying your blanket scarf! looks cozy and not too overwhelming.
