Elf-Esteem

Well, after writing a bunch of how-to craft articles, someone suggested I try crafting how-to videos, so starting I'm starting a little how-to video series called Elf-esteem. The name comes from the fact that creating things often raises self-esteem, and as my nickname is "The Elf," Elf-esteem seemed an appropriate name. I'll be posting a new video hopefully each week on youtube. First ones launches on the 9th of the December.

And while I was in updating mode, I finally got myself a page on Facebook. So by all means, "Like" my page and Raise Your Elf-esteem.
