Each year for the last 17, I have made paid homage to the local Hallmark store to buy my Barbie ornament. Once you start, you can't really stop now can ya? So...yes, I do have all 17...so far.
My other obsession is the little Knee Hugger Elves that I have loved since I was a tiny believer in Santa person. I do still have mine from the 60's, I think it's my little thing that is connected to my very earliest of Christmas memories. Due to that evil website known as Ebay, I now have more then my fair share of them now. I only like the cute ones, not the evil ones! This little guy is like the elves that I have and has the exact same face as mine from my childhood. Love him!
The last ATC Swap at Mystic Paper was "Santa's Little Helper" and I came up with this little elf AND I also self proclaimed myself a genius. I figured out how to make his little body out of one rectangular piece of felt. You can also pull his legs out from under his arms.
I know I am a dork, but don't you just love him?
