Hi! I am so excited - my Elf Anya arrived! I found The Greeting Farm a little over a year ago and I just missed out on this cute Elf Anya at that time! I was always bummed that I missed getting her and then on Black Friday Marie offered her up one last time! I got up at 4:45 AM so I could be online when she went up for sale and YEAH! I got her!! And then I promptly turned her into a boy (or at least one of her!!) For any of you that want to do gender surgery on her, it was pretty easy - after inking her up I wiped off her skirt with a baby wipe, then drew in the missing parts to make tights (I gave them stripes, too!) and I cut off her ponytail curls when cutting her out. And, just because I knew I was putting "him" on a card with her I wanted the hats to be different so for his hat I stamped her one extra time, cut out the hat leaving some extra on the bottom, flipped it over and redrew the bell details and added stripes.

This is just absolutely DARLING - I LOVE the way you altered Elf Anya, too cute!!!!!
This is my first time on your blog and it is awesome. I don't own any Anya's so I had no idea you had to do gender surgery until I read your posting....love it-LOL! Your creativity is unbelievable and all of your coloring is perfect. You make me miss making cards. My mother moved in with me about 8 months ago and I haven't had time to even ink anthing up since then. Keep up the great work ;)
