Hi friends! I have something kind of fun….or funny….to share today.
You know about Pinterest, right?
Oh please say you do!
If you don’t, you MUST take a few minutes—–let’s be honest, it will probably turn into a few hours—-to check it out!!
It serves as a virtual pinboard for all the best ideas and images that you find around the internet. Not only will it organize your ideas, but you can follow the people that inspire you and let them show you what they like as well. It is my FAVORITE way to get inspiration and ideas.
You can find all my pins by clicking on the Pinterest icon on my sidebar. Or just click this Ellie G Pinterest link.
Anyway…..Pinterest has made it so that some of my older posts have been rediscovered. And things I made a year ago are being “pinned”.
One of the ones that I get the very MOST questions about is this Christmas post from last year. It’s not my lovely decor that gets the questions….but THIS poster that quotes Buddy the Elf.
Seriously, at the time, I wanted to have a chance to hear some people’s favorite Christmas Movies. And I thought a couple people would like a copy of the poster. And so a few days before Christmas…..in the midst of a full time job, holidays, shopping, etc…I ended up sending 400 personalized e-mails with this poster file. That’s more than “a few!”
400 emails! That’s not an exaggeration. In fact, it’s probably conservative.
I finally had to put a stop sending them.
I have had quite a few requests throughout the year…
“It’s not Christmas anymore….do you think there’s any way you could send me that poster?”
And I have.
But since Pinterest came on the scene those requests have EXPLODED again!
THE BUDDY THE ELF (CHRISTMAS CHEER) POSTER CAN BE FOUND AT ANNOUNCED DESIGNS AND IS AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE IN 2 SIZES AND 2 COLORS.
Click HERE: to be directed to the site.
After all, I could watch Buddy year round. It’s hilarious. And when we recently visited Mexico and our waiter told us his name was “Fransisco”…..well I could barely contain myself from yelling “Fransisco, that’s fun to say!”
Maybe thinking about Christmas will take you’re mind off the insane heat. Or maybe it will just make you super stressed. Either way. Buddy’s quote still rings true….all year….
THE BEST WAY TO SPREAD CHRISTMAS CHEER,
IS SINGING LOUD FOR ALL TO HEAR!
I’m off to sing REALLY loud in the shower. My shower concerts are legendary. And no you can’t come listen. Weird.
THANK YOU!!! I am one of the pests that pestered you after finding this super cute poster on Pinterest! Thanks for putting this up for download again!
“I like your purple dress”
Heavens no! You’re not a pest. There were just so many requests, I decided it was better to just put it up.
I like “Fransisco…that’s fun to say!”
Thanks so much!! I just discovered your website (and it ROCKS, by the way!), and was disappointed that I couldn’t get the super cute quote from one of my favorite Christmas movies. I thought it was so adorable in the teal frame and really wanted one of my own. But to my delight it was back today. I will be framing this to join my Christmas decor this year. Thanks again!
It’s true- I’ve seen people pinning this right and left! This is a great Christmas-in-August gift, thanks! My husband will love this.
Lol I’m glad I’m not the only one who’s already all over Christmas!!! I have a Pinterest link party that’s starting at 5p today…I would love it if you would stop by and link this up to share! I looooove the printable…you’re so creative!!!
Thanks for this! Elf is one of our family favorites and this will be perfect for our Christmas celebrations this year!!
Oh this is so awesome, I’ve wanted this ever since I missed it the first time around!! Thank you! (I never though to just ask for it!!)
Am I losing it though, why can’t I see a download?
I can’t find the download either.
Did you ever figure it out?
The photo of the printable above has a “down arrow” just push that and it should download right to your computer.
Ellie,
Thank you for the clarification. My problem was that my computer settings were not allowing the download to show up on my screen – it was a large blank space! Hence my confusion. Switched computers and my problem was solved. Thanks for posting this – I look forward to printing it for my sister as a Christmas present. She starts singing carols as soon as she can and will adore it!

Thanks! I was also getting a big, blank space but simply right clicking it gave me the option of downloading the file. Crisis averted! Awesome download, thanks again!
SUPER cute!! I am loving pinterest!
Oh yay!! Thank you for this – it’s one of our favorite Christmas movies!! Love the print – it’s so cute!!
Thank you so much!!! I’m one of the lucky 400 who received an email from you last year. I proudly displayed your print in one of my painted vintage frames for all to see!
“Is there sugar in syrup? Then YES!” Thanks so much!!
Oh man, I lovvveee Buddy! Best way to get into the holiday spirit.
And warning everyone — you can never spend just a few minutes on Pinterest!
Yay! I have been wanting this so bad. Too bad my computer has bit the dust. Maybe I can download it onto my friend’s computer. I NEED this.
I love it! You are so creative. Just found your blog and I am loving it.

I was one of those beggers and I THANK YOU for another chance to download this! I am now a faitful follower of your blog!
Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you!! I didn’t even know this existed until tonight (just found your blog a few weeks ago), and now I get to have one. How often do we get such instant gratification. Um, almost never would be my answer.
Fall has become my favorite holiday as a parent. The weather is changing, and there are so many fun, family centered holidays. And, of course, Christmas tops it all OFF. My absolute favorite holiday. Hands down. And, I LOVE Elf. This will be up every year starting in approximately 3 months.

Thank you so much for putting that printable up there. It is such a great saying….What a nice August gift (even though I’m printing in September). I added you to my pinterest also. I enjoy following your blog and appreciate your printables. I have frames they go in for the different holidays. This will look great up on the mantle this year….
I just found your blog via the Crafting Chicks and am so glad I found it. I tried to download your Buddy the Elf saying and I can not. Am I too late to get the free download? I would love to add this to my holiday decor. My little ones sing up a storm.
Oh just kidding. I just started clicking on things and it downloaded for me. Sorry to bug! But thanks so much for the new decor. Love it!!!

Thank you so much for this. Found you through Pintrist.
Love your design. It’s beautiful and it’s one of my favorite quotes from the movie.
Thanks so much for sharing this! I love it so much! Also, found it on Pinterest! Love your blog!!
THANK YOU!!!!! I came across this on Pinterest (of course) and I am SO GLAD I clicked through and got to your site. I can’t thank you enough for this free download!!!
I found this on pinterest today and pinned it before realizing it wasn’t linked back to you… although it had a watermark. I’m sorry! I commented that YOU were the source of this awesomeness, but I’m not certain if you can delete a re-pin and add the source. I’ll work on it. Thanks for sharing it. My kids are going to be THRILLED when I put it up at the end of the month!!!
Happy November.
I love Elf. Thanks for the printable.
You are awesome for sharing this!! many thanks!
Love it!!!! Thank you
I was wondering if you could tell me the name of the font you used for the word “Cheer”? I saw it and fell in love with it.
Love the quote!
Thanks!
LOVE THIS! Thank you so much!!!
I huge huge thank you from my home! We adore this movie and this quote makes me so happy whenever I see it. Even if it’s not Christmas. I would have no idea how to create this myself so thank you again!!

Ok, I’m going to be a Pinterest Pest now
I’ve seen this ever since I starting “pinning” and I’m finally going through them all, trying to “clean up” ,if you say.
Elf is one of my ALL TIME favorite movies and I absolutely LOVE your design so much! I’m a Christmas nut and just *need* this
I went over to Annouced Design and couldn’t find this poster.
(Even though I found tons of other adorable goodies!)
Is it no longer available?
