Fritz the Gay Elf

I made this little book (thanks Snapfish.com!) as a Christmas gift for My Boo and Scotty, after receiving Fritzy as a Christmas gift from them.  They gave him to me at my Christmas party and during the night we snapped a few picures of him. When the party was over my son, 2, and my daughter-in-law (DiL) hung around for awhile.  Before long, 2 and Babe were crashed out in the living room and DiL and I were feeling silly (ok, drunk) so she suggested we take more pics of Fritzy.  And we did - for a couple of hours at least. The book wasn't even a thought when we were taking the photos, credit for that goes to my friend, Wesley, who suggested it after I texted him a few of the pics the next day.

I logged onto my email account and began hunting through my "Coupons" folder (don't judge!) for the last email I'd received from Snapfish.  When I found it I was so excited because the featured sale was  buy one book, get TWO free!  Three for the price of one?!?!  I love me a good sale!  Once I began reading the small print, I realized that the sale as well as guaranteed Christmas delivery, would expire at midnight. It was already late afternoon by this time so I knew I would have to bust my balls (yes, I have woman balls) to finish before midnight.  I finally finished, submitted my order with 20 minutes to spare and received the books, as promised, before Christmas.

Below is a photo edition of the book.  I know the photography sucks so please do not bitch about it.  Sure, I could have spent more time cropping, adjusting the lighting, and contrasting the photos but that's not fun and I spent enough time not having fun today trying to upload the damn things so you'll just have to deal with it.  I did add the text beneath each photo for ease in viewing though...you're welcome.  If you'd like to view the book in a much nicer and certainly more professional format, you may do so here. (You can also purchase a copy if  you'd like.  Don't worry, I'm not trying to line my pockets - Snapfish will take and keep your money.) You will have to create an account with Snapfish to view the book, it's free, just wanted to issue a warning to save you  the trouble in case you have no interest in doing so.  Either way, I hope you enjoy - what I hope to be - the first book in the "Fritz the Gay Elf" series.

"Fritz's First Night"


*Dedication Page*
"Dedicated to David and Scott
Without whom this would not have been possible.
Love, Michelle and Fritzy"
This photo was taken at the store the day Boo and I first saw Fritzy.



*Page 1*
"I first layed eyes on Fritz December 1, 2012.
Boo and I were shopping that Saturday
afternoon and we spotted him tucked in a
corner at a little country store.
It was love at first sight.
The following Saturday I was hosting a Christmas
party and David and Scott gave Fritz
to me as an early Christmas gift.
He was an angel when he first arrived, posing for
photos, cross stitching and even reading to us."



*Page 2*
"He was very social,
flitting around visiting
with all the guests.
He make some
new friends too."


*Page 3*
"But the Fritzy noticed
everyone kept going to the bar.
And he was curious."

*Page 4*
"First he just wanted his
picture taken on the
bar...then with the alcohol."


*Page 5*
"Before we knew it, Fritz was
drinking wine and swinging
from the fucking chandeliers..."
*Page 6*
"Literally!!"
*Page 7*
"After he'd had a couple of glasses of
wine I told him he had reached his
limit. He got pissed and pulled a pair of
scissors on me then jumped off the table
in a rage! We were looking for him
everywhere when we heard crunching
noises coming from the corner. Fritz
apparently likes dog food after drinking."
*Page 8*
"We were finally able to lure him
back to the craft room and calm him
a bit with another photo shoot.  Fritz
loves having his picture taken!"
*Page 9*
"But then I had
to get onto him
for peeking in
stockings
and
SMOKING!"
*Page 10*
""Take
Your
Own
Advice!"
was his response."
*Fritz is holding my fav little sign.  It says, "Be Fucking Polite (Please)"
*Page 11*
"The girls thought that
was funny so the three
of them began joking
around."
This is my daughter, 1.
*Page 12*
"And then he
went too
far...
of course."
*This is my daughter-in-law, DiL
*Page 13*
"He was completely out of control.
This is what was going on when I
finally gave up and went to bed."



*Page 14*
"And this is how I found him
when I woke up."

*Page 15*
"When he finally got out of
bed this afternoon he
apologized and we are the
best of friends again."
