We do not do elf of the shelf but our house does have borrowers. Penny knows that if she leaves a mess out at night the borrowers will take that as a sign that they can have it and take it into the walls to build their homes
This teaches her to out her stuff away at the end of the night or I chuck it out and also sometimes she wakes up and yells “HEY ELEVES I LEFT YOU SOME STUFF!” And it is hilarious
Penny: THE ELVES HAVE ONIONTIZED
My mom on FaceTime: ???
Me: I had to explain to Penny how the borrowers are part of the elf union and so they go to North Pole the last 3 weeks of the year so no one ever has to work too much over time and that’s why they haven’t taken mommy’s wrapping paper or scissors or anything else I’ve left out… shes trying to explain the elf union to you.
Penny: THEY GET PAID EXTRA CAUSE OF THE ONION
I’m in tears 🤣🤣🤣

A resident of Hamnavoe, Shetland Islands in Scotland, Anne Eunson decided to knit herself a beautiful lace fence using twine. The fence is fashioned from strong black twine - the same kind that is used to make fishing nets - and Anne knitted it on specially adapted curtain rods. It took her about three weeks to knit enough lace to surround her front garden, using a 23 stitch repeat of a familiar Shetland lace pattern.
