Elvis says “Hey, I’m made of hard resin, supposed to be pretty durable isn’t it?”

I say “Yes?”

Elvis says “Not like china, don’t break when dropped – do I?”

I say “No, guess not – but hey – only dropped the prodigy CD – didn’t drop you”

Elvis says “This is a bit of a pattern with you isn’t it?”

I say “No, never broke one of you before….”

Elvis says “Didn’t you break the double sewn leather straps on both of your Elvis watches?”

I say “Possibly”

Elvis says “Didn’t you scratch the glass on your Elvis watch on a brick? And you don’t karate chop bricks do you?? So how is it that a wrist watch came in contact with a brick?”

I say “Gee, Elvis - Hey look at the pretty bird over there…”

Elvis says “Don’t try to distract me. What about the Russell Stover tins that you can’t show because of the scratches on my face?? Not what would typically pass for 'normal care' would it??”

Kingy pops in at this point with a “Thought you were supposed to give me a new coat of gold spray paint this summer?”

I say “Not now Kingy – finish your peanut butter and ‘nana sandwich first and then we’ll talk.”

Then I say “Gee, El – why lookie here…..got some nice crazy glue…just for you and special trip to get it too. You know ‘Elvis in Freefall’ is my favourite audience recording. Maybe you could pretend to be that Elvis??? Maybe I could touch you up with photoshop and they won’t even notice?? ”

Elvis says nothing……..he is no longer speaking to me

Donna you start the coolest threads!

Yet again all my Christmas things are packed to move. But if I run across some that are still loose, I will take a photo. I just bought some new ones in Branson in July, but yours are really cool.

One fourth of my Tree is Elvis Ornaments, Disney and Cartoon Characters have a section, then anything that my Grandson makes gets the other half. Maybe I should just get another tree and do it all Elvis?

Posted by: charlierogers Oct 20 2009, 11:37 PM

Love your collection Mr. Vegas 74 - does this mean you are missing the two round bradford exchange ornaments as they are shown in a picture??

Have an Elvis x-mas bag like yours.........also have an empty gold box like shown above too. Elvis has escaped !!

But also have this - from Carleton- sings 'burning love' guessing part of series???

Posted by: charlierogers Oct 20 2009, 11:50 PM

did you say you wanted an Elvis tree - 'cause I love this one - can't afford it - but sure is pretty


Friend has 3 x-mas trees every year - one on each floor and different theme for each......so you certainly could have an elvis x=mas tree

n.b. please hurry up and move so you can unpack your stuff

This Elvis rides shotgun in the car. Please don't limit your sparkley resin Elvi only to brief x-mas time. These pictures dont' do them justice. Nothing like seeing this little fellow when the sun is rising or setting and shines through the windshield. He sparkles so nicely - he's stunning. And yes folks, that is a ron popeil ronco showtime rostisserie chicken tie that he hangs from - gives him a bit more bounce (and if you order within the next 20 minutes, I throw in not one, not two, but six steak knives).

You'll note that the back.......side of this ornament is very very comparable to the back......side of Elvis

Happy you enjoy them Mr. Vegas 74

Glad to know a set arrived in one piece......hope they are in Minty condition......Could you please confirm if those are the ones from Memphis Tennesee - graceland memories?? (long story - but there is another set out there - the 1st set purchased - just not sure if they've left the seller's place yet).

thanks

Posted by: charlierogers Nov 19 2009, 12:24 PM

Actually Rex the elvis ornaments look like the ones from the Bradford exchange (usually avail on e-bay)


which I don't have yet (okay- one set is now enroute to parental units) and the guitar ornaments look familiar too - think Bradford exchange also - which I don't have yet

Beautiful thing this tree

Thanks Rex

not bells - as no middle ringer...however the beads do make a tinkle.........the hats are TCB hats......there's also a clear sparkle coating - so guessing when the x-mas lights hit them they refect pretty colours.

really love these - they're my x-mas present to me....the pictures of Elvis are beautiful.

Don't trust the little gold strings to hold them up - as they weigh quite a bit.

Thanks for putting them on a coloured background (going around the beads must have been aggravating) - they look much nicer than on white

Posted by: REX Nov 20 2009, 02:35 PM

Yes I love them... you have a nice Xmas pressy to yourself... thanks for the extra info...

Why quote a topic, when you can add a little extra work to it? actually you could have done it yourself...
It was all Photo Premium 10, for the Background and Colour Gradient... no I didn't have to hand cut around them
Used the Magic Wand tool.. (did darken them a bit, so it only took out the lights) lost a bit of one of the tags....
then just jumbled them all up on the page... took no time at all...

If we had Inbedded Audio, would have added a TINKLE or two!!

(Just for short "Wav" sounds... 'Chris' whats the chances ????)

This is quite the fun little number.........not because it looks like Elvis and not because it looks like graceland, because frankly I don't know who that guy is or who's house he's standing in front of..........and the fun isn't in the lights - cause they don't stay on long enough to capture on film.......nope..that's not it at all.

It's fun because it's got the world's worst Elvis imitator saying several different lines - it's so bad, it actually makes you laugh - which is a good
thing and then you have to play it again just so you can reconfirm just how horrible he is
