The Pixie in the MM is a bit overpowered for what shes wanting(as well as being too big). The Atomie looks quite like what shes describing(as well as being the proper alignment

This creature resembles a small elf with narrow, pointed ears, long legs and arms, and lightly colored hair and eyes. Its skin has a light green color to it.
Atomies are among the smallest of the fey. They dwell in arboreal regions, with a single atomie family staking their claim to a single tree. The atomies are nocturnal, leaving the safety of their treetop abodes under cover of darkness to dance and play among the underbrush.
An atomie is a 1-foot tall creature related to pixies and other sprites. Atomies are attractive, especially when compared to other sprites. Atomie clothing is almost always magical, made to change color with the seasons to help hide the wearer during all times of the year.
Atomies speak Sylvan and Common.
Combat
Atomies avoid combat when possible and use their quickness to elude would be attackers. If cornered, they rely on their spell-like abilities and dagger or crossbow to get out of trouble.
Spell-Like Abilities: 3/day—blink, entangle (DC 13), invisibility (self only), pass without trace, speak with animals. Caster level 9th. The save DCs are Charisma-based.
Skills: *Atomies have a +5 racial bonus on Hide and Move Silently checks in a forest setting.

I figured it to be the other way. Maybe we should refer to the original 1e Atomie?
From the 1e MM 2:
Hmm ... still not a difinitive answer. Doesn't say how many times *per day* each can be used, only how often. Scott must have modified its "times per day" during the conversion.
As a PC, though, would you hand out 15 spells a day for only a +3 LA?
