A little elf peeks around the corner of this thumbnail square. She wears a red suit with a red stocking cap that has a tiny pom-pom on the end. She waves at the onlookers. Over her head it reads, "December's holiday surprise!" This image accompanies the announcement that Elf on the Shelf will receive some free doll clothes sewing patterns at Chelly Wood dot com this December.

This image shows an 18" doll wearing a red velvet shirt with tiny white buttons. It's a shirt with long sleeves. She also wears an elastic-waist skirt made of a cotton fabric that has a sky blue background and tiny snowmen patterns all over the fabric. The doll stands in a snow-scene diorama with pine trees and willow branches behind her on a snowy hillside. The sky in the diorama seems to be spotted with little snowflakes.
