Hi there,
I have made repeated attempts at purchasing your EOTS e-book and it will not accept my method of payment/visa; might this be because I am Canadian and perhaps you do not accept international methods of payment? Any altetnative suggestion as to how I could go about doing so?
I see that the order went through! Let me know if you need anything else! Thanks so much!

These are cute ideas. I do good to remember to move the thing! Ours just hides somewhere up high–the top of a cabinet, peeking out of a lamp shade, etc.
My daughter is only 1 but I am planning on hopefully getting an elf at after christmas sale or next year and “starting the tradition” next year. I think it is so fun.
These are adorable ideas! My daughter is still pretty little, but I’m tempted to get her an elf this year. It’s such a fun little tradition.
