(yea... i added a few extra winners b.c i feel bad for taking sooooo long to post!)   

if you are a winner send me your mailing addy at elsieflannigan@hotmail.com. :] ALSO, the christmas goodie box is still on my desk... i need that mailing addy as well! :]

by the way, the goodie boxes this time are a random mixture of *Love, Elsie* and other fun products. :]

Ok.... randomness....
these photos with my friend Riley are from a Bill Cosby sweater party a few weeks ago at Convey Studios... sooooooo much fun!

something cool i discovered this week (via the most talented person i know....seriously)

this cool music website! such a fun concept! I love the notion of *discovering* something new, especially when it is beautiful music. all of the cool kids have music on there.... example A & example B.

ok.... i literally haven't been taking photos these past few weeks (blame it on the cold weather!).... but, i can't do a post with only one photo.... noooo way. :] so, i found these to inspire you....









she inspires me soooo much.
