    I want – but can’t figure out how to download the Buddy and Jovie elf photo patterns. I’m confused by the “free” download comments in the post and then a charge for $7 at the end of the post.

      Sorry for the confusion, Terri! All you need to do is enter your email in the form at the end of each post and the link will be emailed to you. The $7 ebook is a collection of our favorite Christmas crafts (the elf templates aren’t in it) and templates. Hope this clears up the confusion 🙂
