Hidden is fun
But teasing is great!
Worry no more -
Good things come to those who wait :yes:
Now off to research
And come up with ideas galore.
Are you a fan of homemade
or do you prefer from a store?[/QUOTE]
AGH!! A rhyming elf! 
Hello Draft Elf!
I prefer homemade if given the choice. But I am really quite easy.
Murphy’s Mom, I’m here!
I have not forgotten, have no fear.
There are a few things I would like to know,
Will you be competing in a driving show?
Do you like goodies and treats?
Is there anything you can not eat?
You have a camera, what kind do you use?
Also, do you drink? Do you like booze?
Let me know if you have something to say,
Soon your first gift will be on the way!
I hope I get an elf that posts! 
Kim
Have no fear, your Elfster is here. Big Brown has yet to cross, with your gear.
Wrapping & glitter galore, we can’t even see the floor.
DrawStraws
Your elf has been snooping,
your facebook I did find,
no photos of your corgi?
I need hints, if you don’t mind.
Your horses look all decked out in gear
green and blue plaid
from ear to ear.
and what besides bingo
do you like to do…?
I know nothing of hockey, care to share some lingo?
(this is getting horrible, my rhyming skillz sucks)
Chocolates, cheeses, specialty meats…
what are your favorite holiday treats
You live where its cold,
quite the opposite of me
what would you like
under your tree?
warm socks? scarves? a fun hat or two?
give me some hints
and I will see them through.
The horses are done,
and the little pups are too
I just need to shop for YOU!
[QUOTE=HolidayCheer;7840051]
I’m Here, I’m Here
To spread some HolidayCheer!
Some baked goods are already flyin,
But I’m ready to start buyin!
What kind of scents do you like for your candles?
Do you have or would you like a wax warmer?
What are your favorite colors?[/QUOTE]
Ive left you a message!
[QUOTE=wireweiners;7846388]For the delicious cookies. They came on a cold, rainy long court day. Really hit the spot and made my day.
Wireweiners[/QUOTE]
I’m so glad you liked the cookies! This elf loves to bake and couldn’t keep out of the kitchen!

PrimoAmor!
Your PrimoElf is having fun.
Your shopping now is fully done.
Part must be made still, plus things shipped
To me on their initial trip,
So don’t expect your Christmas box
For a few weeks, but still, COTH SS rocks!
Tis so much to pick and find
The gifts for someone of like mind.
Here’s hoping your holidays will be
Great, including the part from me.
Ho Ho Ho![/QUOTE]
Oh my, I had missed this post earlier. Already done shopping?! I must be easy to shop for :lol:

I had good search luck. Even so,
There’s still a long, long way to go.
One gift must come from far away,
12/1 estimated delivery day.
That gift is even farther away
Than the North Pole to you today.
I hope you’ll like it, and it will zip
Along its very-lengthy trip.
Another gift is much closer as we speak
And might even make it to me this week.
Plus the big gift kit once it gets to me
By 11/15 must be made, so see
There’s still at least a few-week delay
Before your box is on the sleigh.
REEFY!! I am going to BURST with excitement!! You just wait! Surprises in store for you! And we have much in common … So giddy!! Eeeheeheee!!
[QUOTE=orange elf;7836725]
Seasons greetings danceronice! I am your friendly elf, just popping in to say hi I have already bought some goodies I hope you will like. If you have any specific requests, just holler![/QUOTE]
Oooh! I have an elf! And no requests beyond what was in my giftee note (though I am down one horse; Tice is back in Indiana where he can have multiple horse friends.)
Me on FB the other day after seeing “Countdown to Black Friday!!!” notes: GRR ARRH IT IS NOT CHRISTMAS SHOPPING SEASON YET.
Me checking my email about fifteen minutes later: OMG I GOT MY COTH GIFTEE MUST GO GIFT SHOPPING!

Oh goody, I’ve got elf contact!
I will eventually compete in a driving show. Not sure when, but will try to have the pony ready for the fair next fall. CDEs will be a few years out probably.
I like chocolate, the horses like anything, the dogs are not allowed any store bought treats (due to one of mine dying from the pet treat contaminations from a few years ago). I do not drink and don’t like the taste of alcohol at all (I know, I’m weird). I also don’t like coffee or tea. I do like cocoa though. No allergies.
My main camera is a Nikon D600 with an Olympus E-30 as backup. Heading off to the woods today with a friend to shoot and to visit a gallery up north.
Thank you Elf!
O Polydor, O Polydor,
You elf has a query,
Info, I need a little more!
What colors do you like,
Could you possibly share,
Of particular interest,
What colors do you wear?
Warm or neutral,
Or even cool?
Or everything at once,
Why follow the rules?
I have an idea,
Though your gift might see a delay,
It depends on the speed,
Of the delivery sleigh.
Elf calling Belmont! Elf calling Belmont!!
Just checking in to let you know that I have your information and am giddy with anticipation for the shopping that I can do. One quick question - I know your dog’s name, I know your boyfriend’s name, what is your horse’s name?
And if there’s anything specific that you’re hoping to receive, or something that you can always use “just one more” of, please feel free to share.
happily skips away rubbing hands together in anticipation

Oh squeeeee!
I’m so happy I got elf contact.
Boyfriend’s name is Giovanni. He is Italian.
I’m ashamed to say horses name is Carl Wayne. He was named after a Casey Donahue Band song, about a guy that gets three DUI’s. We call him CW for short. He is registered, but we don’t go by that name.
Of course, I can’t think of anything specific now that you ask. I’m pretty open and easy!
Hello, SecretElf!! You’re so smart - I hadn’t even thought of facebook stalking. Now I know what I’m going to go do…
My photos on facebook may have some privacy settings on them - You’re welcome to friend request me. I know there’s a few of Winnie, the corgi somewhere in there though. Just picture a twinkie with stumpy legs. That’s her. LOL!
No food allergies or anything like that here and I’m really not picky about too much. I’m all about chocolate, although I’m not terribly fond of the filled kind (with an exception for caramel). I’m not good at cooking or baking myself, so I’m happy to partake of whatever anyone else comes up with.
It’s definitely gotten cold here the last week or two - I just spent several days down in Texas at a horse show where it was in the 80’s and now I’m back home and the “Polar Vortex” is on it’s way. Ick. You can never have enough pairs of gloves or warm socks, or even something to cover the ears (dumping the spreader out in an open field in the middle of winter when the wind is blowing SUCKS!).
Besides Friday night bingo and the hockey games, I do spend a lot of time with my brother and his wife’s family and we have family game night (and drink - can never go wrong with some good booze). And you can never have too much stuff for the barn for storage (bags, totes, organizational supplies, etc.).
Does that help?

Dear Cheektwocheek,
Your elf has arrived and can’t wait to get started buying you all of your Christmas goodies![/QUOTE]
Yay, my very own Cheeky elf. I’m super excited! Great elf name.

Butting in to say - it is marketed as a kids game kind of, but Ticket to Ride is good fun even for adults for a board game night. The European one is more complicated than the one set in the Americas (I think? I know it has the US.) But either version is good - we sometimes simplify the European rules for younger kids or a shorter game. But everyone has enjoyed it and it is good conversation too because it generally inspires people to talk about where they’ve been or where they want to go, etc.

A christmas moose as an elf!!?? Awesome!
My favourite colours would be teal/turquoise. Love the cool colours to natural shades. But do love some bright pinks and oranges. Patterns - can’t go wrong with african animals prints( in a classy way).
Delay is totally fine with me
Does that info help? Need to go find what I wrote down this year since I can’t remember.
P.
I second not worrying if you don’t hear from your elf! My person did an amazing job in their description so I have yet to have any questions for them, and life is so insane right now I can barely remember my name, let alone come up with a teasing rhyme! :)But I’m thinking, and shopping will happen at Equine Affaire next weekend…!
