HAPPY National Scrapbook Day to youuuu!
well, i've just had the best thrift store day of my life... for reals! i think i have what you call a
"natural high". HA!
since it's NSD i feel obliged to give you an extra fun post... later tonight (or perhaps in the wee hours of the morning...) i will work on a bunch more questions and make sure they are extra fun ones with lots of the "eye candy" stuff.
in the meantime, i leave you with a photo of my messy painting table. 
and also these words....
I LOVE YOU!

ELSIE!!
:] I know you love me. I love you too! LOL, jk. :] But I do luvs ya! Youre such an inspiration to me and it means alot to me to see you following your dreams. Watching you, honestly inspired me and helped me to stand up for pursuing my dreams. Im fixing to graduate Ive gotten accepted in culinary school. I cant take all night going into how much seeing you stand up for what you believe in helped me...but thank you. I was looking to see if there was someone who could make it doing what they love and I figured "if Elsie can stand up for it, I can too" You really are an inspiration to girls of all ages. And its also really awesome that you dont put profanity on your blog. You dont know how much that means to me. Anyway, i gtg, but I just wanted to say I do luv you and think your a great gal! Hopefully one day, Ill get to cook for you! :]
peace.

Ms. E-I wish I could say the same thing-I hit 3 thrift shops this weekend and turned up with NADA! Then, I saw your desk and felt bad because I cleaned mine and felt uninspired seeing it totally clean-hheheheeheee...am off to look at some food magazines for layout inspirations.
Stay fabulous!
