“It’s a surprise!” she told me.
Thank you to all busy elves who crafted these treasures!
A Peek Inside The Elves Workshop!
Jzin’s Note: Please do not let your children view this webpage. This page is written specially for parents, crafters, adults. I feel that if a child were to see this page, it may diminish their sense of awe and wonder at the actual event. So, to preserve the magic of the children’s experience, I suggest to you to keep this page for adult view only. To the adults: aren’t you inspired to see the joy the children get from our lovingly handcrafted treasures?
To our diligent crafty elves: Thank you so much for your wonderful handwork!!!
Thank you Liz Shier-Burnett for many of the insider photos! I came a tad late and many of the goodies were gone!
King Winter and Snow Gnomes galore
Blossom Fairies, Magic Wool Angels, felt hair clips and more…

At the beginning, the Elves Workshop was well stocked.

Every item is individually wrapped with care by one of our helpers!
