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!

 Blossom Fairies, Magic Wool Angels, felt hair clips and more…
