Social Media…..what do you use and why?

Eliot, the head elf, here looking for your opinion. The elves and I have been talking a lot of different social media that is out there. The Ornament Factory is on Facebook, Twitter, Google +, and here on Word Press. What are other social media platforms that you all use?

All of us elves really like keeping all of our customers up to date on what is going on at the Ornament Factory and in our lives. We would love to hear from all of you! I love Facebook because so many of my family and friends use it. Seeing all of the pictures and updates makes it much easier to keep up with what every one is doing. Some of our elves are all about Twitter and say that it is much easier to use. I’ll have to have one of them teach me about it sometime.

Have you seen our current contest?? Check us out on Facebook to see it and participate! The prize for the winner is a good one!

Ben the elf takes his turn to try blogging

I was talking to Jackson and Eliot last night at dinner and they were telling me about this new thing they’re trying called blogging. It left me wondering what it was, so here I am giving it a try.

My name is Ben and I am an elf here at the Ornament Factoryqx9074.jpgDuring the day I am busy working with the other elves. In my free time I enjoy playing games on my iPad and playing outside. One of our favorite things to do outside is ride our bikes.  I recently just started playing the drums. My uncle Don the elf plays drums too. (This is starting to sounds like a dating profile, haha!) I am very close to my family and love them very much. My brother, Nathan, was saying he might try this blogging thing out soon.

The other elves and I recently had a game night and snacks. We played Monolopy! I was so excited to play! At work today I had processed and order that had this awesome ornament that is Mololopy. I hadn’t played it in a long time and forgot how much fun it is! This would be a good addition to a game night themed Christmas tree.

I have a secret to tell all of you, but you have to promise to keep it between us….during our game night the other elves and I came up with an awesome contest that we are going to post on our social media! If you haven’t already, make sure you like our page on Facebook and follow us on Twitter.

That’s all for now! I’m getting ready to head to the Ornament Factory for work. This blogging thing is pretty cool! I’ll have to try it again soon!

A Day in the Life of Jackson the Elf

Hi everyone! I’m Jackson the elf.

We have been busy here at the Ornament Factory filling all of the orders from the Labor Day Sale we just had. All of the elves are eagerly awaiting the the October release of the ornaments. There are so many I need to have for my trees.

A typical day for me starts out with waking up fairly early so I can get some exercise before heading over to the Ornament Factory. I usually like to take my  dog, Charlie, my loving Golden Retriever, for a walk and do some light weights.We elves have to stay in shape to get all of our work done. Next, Charlie and I have our breakfast. I’m a big fan of waffles and yogurt. Charlie has his dog food. For all you Golden Retriever fan, we have the Puppy Love #3 ornament in stock!

Then, its off to work I go! Charlie stays back at home to nap and enjoy his day. At work, it is important that we get all packages ready and labeled to mail out before the mailman gets there. We elves have a great system down to do this in the most efficient way possible. Eliot, the head elf, has been doing this for a long time and has work out the kinks.

Lunchtime is so much fun because all of us elves get to eat together and talk about all of the beautiful ornaments we have seen that day. Today, we have had many orders for Wizard of Oz ornaments. Maybe that will be the next tree I do. I can see it now, a tree with beautiful lights and Wizard of Oz ornaments all over it! After lunch its back to work with all my friends! It’s nice to be able to enjoy what we do.

After work today all of the elves have decided to go swimming. With the unseasonably warm temperatures it will be a welcomed activity. I have made plans for dinner tonight with my good friend Brandon the elf. It’s his turn to pick where we are going to eat tonight. I’m hoping for Mexican food.

That’s all for now friends! Stay tuned for other updates from all of the other elves and myself. Have a great day!
