[Jeff Westover]

Hi Elfworks!

Nice to meet you. I would love to hear some more about your business...sounds like my kind of thing! Do you have a website?

Things are a little quiet around here right now but hang with us...as we get closer to the season...probably your busy season...we have many merry souls to share Christmas with here.

I'm Jeff Westover, Editor of My Merry Christmas and assistant chief lawn clippings disposal engineer here on the Merry Forums, at your service!

:-)

well, hi jeff! i am actually working on a website right now.... just have an old menu of cookies/goodies up there as i got tired of looking at the "under construction" sign!

as for the biz... not much more to tell. its just exactly what i said. in a perfect world where i win the lottery, i would have a shop with a working kitchen to sell baked yummers and tond of really great stuff; music and books and linens and crafts and NO FAKE TREES, and ornaments and lights and all that jazz.

so... this site is YOUR idea???

[Jeff Westover]

Yep...been at it online in one form or another since 1994. We specialize in helping folks get their Christmas-related websites up and running. Is there anything we can do to help?

Is there anything we can do to help?

Jeff

:D

[Jeff Westover]

Ha! We're obviously very much in the same boat. Some day you must allow me to explain my dream to you. I'll bet it is very similar and the only thing holding me back is money.

Jeff

[elfworks]

i am all ears :D

[sheepsnot]

Welcome, Elfworks! Great to have you here. Are you gearing up for the holidays? It's not far off, believe it or not. Looking forward to hearing from you on a regular occasion. :-)

[elfworks]

well, thank you mr snot! our fearless leader, jeff, informs me that youre a good and groovy guy. i look forward to seeing that for myself!

[elfworks]

forgot to say... i dont have to gear up for the holidays. i stay in holiday mode year round!

;)

Sheep is a good and groovy guy. He's deputized too... he keeps the peace in my absence, talks non-stop Christmas and is an overall merry dude.

Jeff

[elfworks]

high praise from the high hoohah. you must be a most excellent elf!

[Mr. Christmas]

Welcome to My Merry Christmas, I'm glad you could join us and I hope you find this site to be a great place to be around.

[sheepsnot]

I may be good and groovy, but not all that bright. How did Jeff tell you about me if his post came six minutes later? (I feel like Miss Marple on the trail.)

[elfworks]

senor westover and i have been pm-ing like crazy since i joined! we have bonded!

most assuredly, the platonic kind of bonding!

anyway, i had sent him a pm that said: sheepsnot? whats that about? and thats when he said you were good and groovy. he just repeated it here for everyones benny!

[sheepsnot]

You'll have to consult my earliest posts for a clue to the sheepsnot name. Jeff calls me Sheep. You're the first to call me Mr. Snot. Not an attractive name, to be sure, but I brought it on myself. 8)

[elfworks]

youll have to direct me to the appropriate thread as i dont think i have it in me to read thru the 152 post you are credited with.


xo

[sheepsnot]

Go to Introductions and scroll down to the one created by me on Nov. 5th, 2005. Jeff probably knows a shortcut, but this'll be fast enough.

[elfworks]

well that seems like a perfectly plausible explanation for the name. i loves me some scotland!

not too fond of mutton, tho....

:-) Please accept my humble apologies for posting a few times near you and not realizing that I had not welcomed you to the Merry Forums.

Your business sounds like a bit of a dream I have going on - with the exception of the baking unless someone else does it for me - that's it, someone else will bake - not that I can't bake - I choose not to bake.

For some reason I thought your were ElfSpirit from another forum I'm "Christmas connected with". That's what I get for not reading your introduction . . . So welcome, ElfWorks.
Seems like you and Sheep have hit it off quite well along with Jeff our Merry Host.

Since you have a business in it you must be an exceptional baker.

[elfworks]

thank you, auntie!


i dont know how long santa stays, cuz i am always asleep when he stops by!!

[AuntieMistletoeDear]

:D Perhaps you could invest in a Santa Cam.

:shock: Oh no, never mind - he knows everything! :lol:

ElfWorks: A man who bakes...what could be better. I hope your dreams come true with that Christmas dream of yours. I will hold out for you.

uhm, twinkle... i am a girl. not sure what makes you think i am a guy, not that there is anything wrong with guys, there's not anything wrong with guys (with the possible exception of my bf, who is currently making me nuts)..... i am just not a man who bakes, i am a woman who bakes.

but thank you for the welcome

[Twinkle]

OMG Elf...I am embarrassed...So sorry thinking you were a guy...Ladies who bake are the best. After all, I am a Paula Dean fan. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

[elfworks]
