1. I finished my book made with our new favorite things kit.
I feel live i've finally found what *i* want to do with my scrapbooks.
it's exciting & it feels new again...
here are photos:
(i didn't fill in all of my goals b.c it's too much pressure. :D)
the end. :)
i hope you enjoyed it. it's a peek into my life and a keepsake for my (hopefully somday...haha!) future children & grandchildren. i love the little details like favorite songs, handwriting and polaroids...
we only have a small stack left. it was our best selling kit so far this year... thank you! :D
2. the new MUTEMATH video.
my dear friend, brandon, did this video. it's SO amazing. i heard that they recorded it all in one take while playing the song at half speed in a speeding van. hope you enjoy.
you might remember brandon from this post.
he is so talented & so is MUTEMATH. So happy for them!
3. pineapple juice & my dad's killer life advise (every single Sunday)!
4. still obsessed with the new animal collective.
5. filling up my car with gas for $12.
6. children's craft supplies.
seriously.
7. feeling really inspired!!
9. this very very rainy day.
rain is my favorite.
10. and adding daily cuteness to RVA.
We are planning a big update for Wednesday & new items all week.
Hope your sunday is restful & inspiring.

your middle name is Dawn. no way! so is mine. haha. i seem to remember reading that someone once, but anyway. big smiles. also Down With Love and Factory Girl are big favs of mine. (have you seen Harold And Maude? it's beautiful)
this is inspiring. you are just so great. really there are no words except i love seeing these updates and feeling like i am watching art history in the making.
is that silly? i don't know. but it feels like it.
for my uni interview(london baby!), they asked me to name a few of my favourite contemporary artists. you were number one. [:
please don't stop.

I love your scrapbook!
Was just wondering- will more black or white Nerd glasses be in the RVA update this week? I really want a pair! : )

soooo cute! what do you make your actual pages out of? chipboard? my friend and i have been out and about several times taking pics with some blue nerd glasses i bought when i visited your store. you inspired us to do photoshoots of our own!

It's so nice to see you scrapbooking again, especially as you seem to have re-newed your love for it. i wanted this kit so bad but was holding out for the vintage photo albums, so glad i managed to get both (and a few other bits too). Are Jeremy & Chris collaborating now?
Thanks for your continually inspiring posts, i read every day (& have taken both your classes) but don't often comment. Just wanted you to know you are a huge inspiration to me. Thankies!

You are still my favourite scrapbook-er Elsie, ever ever ever. Your work is like little pieces of art that tell a story in each one.
