Christmas Countdown #8: Fizzy's Work Challenges

Fizzy makes toys that surprise, and it's tough

To build in the secrets that thrill kids enough.

"Kids today," she explains, "know a little too much,

To be truly surprised by hand-buzzers and such!"

Countdown Verse #7: Whizzy!

Here's a verse for dear Whizzy. He is the elf who accidentally trapped his friend inside a bookcase that was delivered by Santa Claus in Tizzy, the Christmas Shelf Elf.

We hope you are enjoying our little poetic countdown to Christmas Eve.

Only six more days (and nights, actually) to get all our work done! Yikes.

Whizzy, who rushes around, must keep hurrying,

To "keep up" for him means unending elf-scurrying.

For he paper-wraps toys that the other elves make,

And bow-ties the presents that Santa will take.

IN CASE YOU FORGOT: AUDIOBOOK GIVEAWAY!

Deedy (that's Dorothea Jensen to you) told us she is going to give away 20 free downloads of the Audible audiobook of Frizzy, the S.A.D. Elf on Christmas Eve. She plans to make a random selection from those who sign up to receive her newsletter.  There is a link to do this at the top of the column on the right, but we'll put it on this page, too.

Christmas Countdown #6

Here's our latest verse for counting down to Christmas Eve. We must admit we filched it from our book trailer, but you must understand we are VERY BUSY up here in the Izzy Elf Section of the North Pole right now. We figured a shortcut might be OK. Once.

As the holiday season arrives at your places

Put smiles of delight on your progeny’s faces.

Just open our stories and read them aloud

They’re perfect for pleasing your family crowd!

Having posted the above, we might as well post the whole trailer.  Here it is. (If it doesn't show up on your mobile device, just follow this Izzy Elves Trailer link to watch it.)

Ho Ho Ho! Video #2

Here's the book trailer video for Blizzy, the Worrywart Elf. (Note: the video doesn't seem to show up on mobile devices.  Sorry about that! If you want to watch it, here's a link: Blizzy on YouTube).

(We're having such fun posting these on our IzzyElfBlog since we discovered the symbol below on the blog site!)  Love, the Izzy Elves

Ho Ho Ho! Video!

We Izzy Elves were nosing about this blog site and spotted the tiny little symbol shown above.  We were intrigued.  What could it mean?

We finally asked Deedy (that's Dorothea Jensen to you) who explained that it is a thingy used in filmmaking. (She should know, because her son, "Hawk", is a filmmaker.) She looked at it and figured out that it meant we can now post VIDEOS right here on our IzzyElfBlog.

Very Exciting!

So starting today, we are posting the "trailers" for all our stories.

Here's the first, for Tizzy, the Christmas Shelf Elf.  Woo hoo! (Please note, the video doesn't seem to show up on mobile devices. Sorry about that!  If you want to watch it, follow this link:  Tizzy on YouTube)
