What a wonderful day it was! Kerry has begun her journey home, and all the other elves have packed their goodies and headed off. Now that the house is empty, all that is left is to sort out the leftovers and clean up. The aftermath:
The ingredients table.
Bedroom barks (peppermint and toasted coconut/toffee).
Abandoned confections of every kind.
The kitchen, with more treats.
My mother is currently in a rehab unit at a nursing home, so the staff there will benefit from much of the leftover goodness.
All in all, the day was a smashing success, which it would definitely not have been were it not for @Kerry Beal and her endless patience and boundless energy.
