a share from my new book!
I thought it would be fun to share a few of my very favorite pages from my newest book! 
(the darling little cocoa!) 
(my favorite little boy in the universe) 
(bright eyes lyrics) 
(home decor inspired... i used a bamboo place mat on the layout) 
(awe... weezer lyrics!) 
(my sweet mom and dad) 
(inspired by colorful beaded necklaces...) 
(the lovely miss amber...i love her pages so much!) 
(kendra. i love this. she is such a classic!) 
(rachel is so talented.. it's really insane.) 
(the page by candice melts my heart!)
i hope you enjoyed these little peeks. i have been feeling so loved opening my e-mail each day and hearing from people who are using the new book! it's so exciting. i also saw this cool little review of the new book. happy happy!
in other news, i have some news to share for my etsy shop.... 
(will share more images of the new goods in the next few days!)
and a new baby set of paintings for my bedroom (flaming lips lyrics, per usual).
happy monday! Elsie

Hey Elsie! I got your new idea box in the mail last week! I have a fuuny story for you about that...I also went on vacation last week to FL. with my hubby and stepson, anyway I knew it was going to arrive while i was gone so i made my mom set up camp outside my house so she could safely bring it inside out of this crazy Springfield weather we've been having! I could not wait to get home to play with my new "toy"! I love it! So thanks for all the hard work you and your designers put into it! (and thanks mom for camping out at my house!) Nikki Sivils

I work in a bookstore and I am hoping to order your new book in but I have been getting the run around from a few suppliers, if there any way you could let me know what the ISBN of your new book is?
