A PICTURE OF BLIZZY WITH A SNOWGLOBE




BLIZZY INSISTED WE POST THIS AGAIN FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO MISSED IT

SANTA KEEPS A "WEATHER EYE" ON, WELL, THE WEATHER

Santa has been as excited as we Izzies are about the wintry weather that has been hitting the Northern Hemisphere.  (It's not only you people out there who dream about a White Christmas.)

He figures that there's nothing like few beautiful snowflakes to put everyone in a holiday mood.  Even he must admit, though, that Mother Nature has been sending a bit more than a few flakes to some places.

Such blizzards make it difficult for all of us, too!  Even the Virtual Reins have a hard time getting Santa where he has to go in a Complete White Out.

And although there is nothing we Izzies enjoy as much as a snowball fight, we know there can be Too Much of a Good Thing.

So we'd like all of you who have been digging out of snowdrifts lately to know that all of us at the North Pole know what you are going through. Even Santa.

Meanwhile Blizzy said she hopes this Snow Overdose doesn't put children off her snowglobes. We tell her "don't be a worrywart"! The snowflakes in her globes are much warmer on the fingers than the real stuff, after all.

Cheers,

The Izzy Elves

Hooray for Frizzy! (And thanks to MDBR)

Frizzy's Book Review Wrap up

We Izzies have had such fun reading all the reviews that have come in for Frizzy, the S.A.D. Elf at many websites via Motherdaughterbookreviews. (To read all the excerpts, click on the link at the top of the page.)

Most people LOVE the wonderful pictures by Shayne Hood, but a couple didn't like 'em much. (We didn't let Frizzy see those reviews in case they hurt her feelings. Girl Elves can be a little sensitive about these things. So can boy elves, for that matter.) Some people said only older kids would enjoy the story: others reported that their 3 year olds liked it a lot.

All we can say is "hmmmm, very interesting".

Anyway we are all very grateful to everyone who shared their thoughts on Frizzy's story. And we are especially grateful to Renee at motherdaughterbookreview for introducing Frizzy to the blogosphere!

Love,

The Izzy Elves
