Can Food


After that I had to try and get them out from underneath the radiator and it was just plain awful. 2 of them started the hisses and the others got spooked and started to ram. I got a fly swatter and smashed 'em, but that just made them flare up and cause ruckus. At anyrate, In the end I am the one with the can food and they really do realize that and whenever I start up the engine on the can opener they always come out running and rubbing up on my sweatpants and such. The truth is, this is the only time when we are friends.

Elf Entrance

Of course finally the big moth is here! Meanwhile none of you idiots probably even realize that I've been working all year for this exact time and I've been working on my pieces all year and finally the wait is because the time is now!!!!!! Of course you have to assume that the cats will ruin 2 thirts of them, but I was telling Joan that the truth is that even if I get 1 thirt done then my works is worth it an that is all that matters. I normally take them all to the Bazaar at around 6:30 in the morning and start placing them on the felt at around 6:45, that way i spend the next 3 hours picking off accident glitter that falls onto the display felt and clean up that junk before it ruis the whole goddamn thing. In the meantime, i'll have to lock up the cats while I'm in transport so they don't run under my sandals and make me drop the whole damn thing like last year again. I'll be damned if that happens again, so i'll just lock them in the furnace room and get'em out with a broom handle the next day. If they try and bite me this time that'll be a hole other story that I'll tell you about another time.

As many people know, now and then Santa in lists the help of special people to make even more things for people to have.
THAT IS WHERE I COME IN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Of course as many people know Santa's elves do not like to
get their outfits dirty when they insert down chimneys and unfortunately doornibs are too high for them to reach, so as help to Old Saint Nick and YOU (that is where you come in) I've helped out all year and created an Elf Entrance that you can buy at the Bazaar that is placed in a hole you cut on the bottom of your front door and remains up until I give the signal to take it down. You can come into town and buy mine OR you can try and make it on your own but you probably won't even know where to begin

MATERIALS YOU WILL NEED TO TRY AND MAKE ELF ENTRANCE YOURSELF:
14- by 26-inch piece of sturdy cardboard or used cardboard soda pop can container (EMPTY of soda!)
Christmas themed Gift wrap
10 Tape
Scissors
6- by 6-inch piece of cardboard
34 bumpy green pipe cleaners
1-inch-wide yellow ribbon (about 21 inches long)
18 Small bells
28 Medium Sized Bells
Tacky glue
Juice bottle cap
Cork and Barrel
Paper fastener
7- by 10-inch piece of cardboard
Dark green used washcloth or 12- by 12-inch piece of used kitchen towel
Small cloth poinsettia flower (optional)
3- by 7-inch card stock or poster board
Marker
Fun-Talk
Colorful Buttons (optional)
16-inch piece of string (optional)

(if you prefer, simply fun-talk the string to the wall, but I wouldnt recommend this if you have cats.
GOOD LUCK, IF YOU EVEN KNOW WHERE TO BEGIN.
Otherwise you should just come down to the Bazaar and buy mine because they will be on display and it is just easier.
Okay, I'll see you down there.
I won't have change, so just make sure you understand that I won't be able to break bills.
