<p>Our family enjoys this tradition and are excited for our son to begin to be a part of it. In fact, our elf tends to be very creative in how she appears each morning from Thanksgiving through Christmas day. She is fairly mischievous. We thought we would share our Elfie Snowflake daily on our Face<a href="https://windypinwheel.com/product-category/books/" rel="tag" target="_self" title=":">book</a> page and a couple here on the Windy Pinwheel website through an image gallery and hope you will share your stories of your <a href="https://windypinwheel.com/?s=Elf+on+the+Shelf" rel="search" target="_self" title=":">Elf on the Shelf</a> with us on Face<a href="https://windypinwheel.com/product-category/books/" rel="tag" target="_self" title=":">book</a> as well.</p>

This action does not limit you from sponsoring an article on our site again.  However, by sponsoring again, we will issue the same review criteria as the prior sponsorship and if it fails, we will follow the same process as before and issue a refund and pull down the sponsorship.

If the sponsor of the article is in conflict of the topic of the article, we will pull down the sponsorship to remove any conflict of interest with the article at-hand.
