Are you doing Elf on the Shelf in your home? This is our second year and I am trying to step up my game. Here are 10 Elf on The Shelf Ideas I shared a few days ago. This project really only takes about 15 minutes but I think makes your Elf look really cute. If your Elf is a girl, how about making her an Elf on the Shelf Skirt!
