I went to the op shop and found a cute red dress last year for Ella.
At Farmers they have cute stretch n grows near Christmas time, you could do that and a little ballet skirt or something, with a santa hat to complete the look. I used to do photoshoots of Ella for each holiday, Easter, Christmas etc.. now it's more difficult to get her to sit still for long, have to bribe her lol ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I'm s huge ebay addict and you can find heaps of those on ebay - I just looked (below is a link to a really cute looking one but you can just search 'baby santa'). Shipping can be expensive though...

Best of luck in finding one - they look really cute.  ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

I have bought a bit on ebay - the prices are sooo much better than anything you can find here and most of the stuff you get is brand new too (unlike trade me where most is second hand). The currency is OK for now - has been over the last couple of years. I pay thru paypal and have not had probs with security etc. Postage can be a pain though - I always ask for a quote first. I have found however that even with the high-cost postage, you still save money. ------------- http://lilypie.com"> http://lilypie.com">

Of course not - but it depends on what it is. My obsession started with my wedding - I bought all sorts of of stuff like ribbons and tulle for the favours etc at the fraction of the price I would have paid here. And I have been addicted ever since.  ------------- http://lilypie.com"> http://lilypie.com">
