listen closely to your dreaming mind...

Photo_95
last night when i was half asleep i had a rush of inspiration... i wrote down some random notes in the dark and this morning i was delighted to find these ideas sleeping beside me. lesson learned: it's always a good thing to sleep with pen and paper.
well, it's monday and i have a feeling this is going to be a wonderful week for creating. for the next few days i am in what i like to call "love, elsie lockdown" (meaning i won't be leaving my house... except to get starbucks... until a new collection is completed). maybe i will take some breaks here and there to post on here though... you just might be my only connection with the outside world! :D so if you are feeling crafty, let's make some stuff.... ok?
happy monday to all...

if i was cooped up in my house all day working, i would not look as half as cute as you do. big props.

that picture of you is ADORABLE! it's definitely a crafty week :]

mallory... don't you worry.. i don't usually look cute when im working at home. today will is taking my photo, that is the only reason! haha. :D

You are just too cute, Elsie!! Thanks for sharing your creative thoughts you wrote down while half asleep. Have a fantabulous week!!

I hear you about feeling like it's a creative week and yes I sleep with a pen and notebook by my bed...believe it or not it is when I come up with my best ideas!

This is what I thought of last night:MadLibs... I am sure you know of these (who doesn't) go to www.madlibs.com and www.elibs.com...great for inspiration!

I TOTALLY DO THE SAME THING IN THE DARK! The problem later is that sometimes I can't read my own writing or the notes don't make sense when I'm fully awake! LOL!!!!!!! Thanks for sharing!

I DO THE SAME THING AT NIGHT!!!! I write inpsiration notes too. But the big problems are not always being able to read my own handwriting & sometimes not being able to make sense of my notes once fully awake! LOL!!!!! Hope you notes totally keep you inspired!

Well, monday is almost finished here in Holland. But I wish you a create-full week, have fun and let us know how you are doing! :-)

P.s. Totally jealous cuz you can get starbucks all the time and me... only when I'm at the airport or in a foreign country!!!
;'-(

fun :)
i designed this IN a dream once...then i made it :)

CUTE Photos!
Can the new lines please please please please please have some cute Birds and bird things in them?? It seems like I can NEVER find cute funky things with birds so I can scrapbook my 5 babies (3 parakets and 2 mini parrots)... just a idea if you have a artist block :)

so cute!
BTW, just wanted to let you know that your post about your new etsy update inspired mad creativity in me! I spent all weekend making stuff, and it was so much fun. Thanks! : )

Too cute! Glad you are able to read it! I hate it when I can't read my night writing.

I love the way you do your make-up! oh that's my add kicking in....focus Stella! I mean to say...have a great creative week Elsie. enjoy that coffee break!

Elsie getting creative is always a good thing!:)

YAY!! I can't wait to see more collections from you :)
Have fun creating swetie!

You have the coolest job ever!! I am a homebody and I would love to stay home for a week...except Starbucks as well!

Can't wait to see what your lockdown creates. Don't you love those late night thoughts. I fall asleep thinking of new ideas. Keep it up girlie you're doing amazing work!!

OMG! I do that too! Usually poems though, and sometimes page ideas when they come to me. Very smart to have a pen and paper nearby!

LOL! I would do that too!!! Ideas, thoughts, things I have to do...

the same thing happens to me sometimes too.. and the funny thing is, I always seem to get my best creative ideas right when I lay down in bed. A pen and paper on my nightstand is a must! :)
I'm looking forward to seeing what you'll do with these ideas of yours.... tree experiment? I'm enticed!
xoxo

Yes this is going to be a very productive and creative week, lots of ideas and feeling really happy and energized, I even did some LO:s after midnight yesterday. I don't do that a lot since my daughters tend to wake at 5.30 a.m....

What a cute and gorgeous girl!!!
You certainly should keep your notebook and a pen besides your bed...My best ideas are coming during the "almost asleep" phase.

I always have ideas when almost asleep, it gets almost annoying! I have a notebook also :)
