Merry Christmas! E

ok.. im back.. for real this time! :]

first of all... i have to tell you something......
I FINALLY HAVE A NEW CAMERA!
i am so so so excited!

here is a peek at my PEZ tree... hopefully i can get some better shots tomorrow...

(i obviously have a LOT of Christmas shopping left to do... haha! oh... and don't make fun of my newspaper wrapping paper... well, you can if you want. :]) I will be posting a tutorial about the PEZ ornaments on the RV blog tomorrow.

so, i need some suggestions for Christmas music. I want to buy some old Christmas albums.. what are your favorites??

OK. I am back in action now...I have been scrapbooking, decorating, cooking (gasp!), and shop*shop*shopping.... will be posting on here everyday (ish)... stay tuned...
Loves, Els

ps. i forgot to say thank you for all your kind words about my new boyfriend, justin. made us smile :]

awwwwe!

this image from the anthropologie site inspires me so much! :]

i just wanted to say thanks for your comments and opinions on the photos.... i am one of those people who can make big decisions, but the small ones take me foooooorever... :] thanks.

ok. so i am moving to a loft next week.... i don't have any photos to share yet, but it's sort of the classic loft with some brick walls and high ceilings and stuff... i was trying to shop online for a few cute new home items and i have to admit..... i HATE shopping online... i'm just not good at it. i was hoping some of you might have some insight to share.... i am just looking for random stuff like a really cute shower curtain, rugs, frames, wall decor, paper lamps (need some more for my studio)... and also i am looking for a white or silver old school style christmas tree (well, i guess any color...just not green) that is 7 ft. or taller.... thank you in advance for any links... i REALLY appreciate it! :]

I promise to finally make that little "cribs" video to share my studio and stuff after i get all moved in.... :]

xoxo, E

hi.

how are you?

not too much to talk about today, but i have a few more home photos (just for fun) to share...



yes... i am obsessed with this monkey. and you know what? i can't find the box it came in... if you are the person who sent me this, can you please email me again? i have something for you. :)

the painting in this last photo is by my friend Andie. You can see her etsy here.

And I thought I would share some new*ish and old albums that I am loving at the moment....

Jonezetta/ Popularity

Acceptance/ Phantoms

(look this up on itunes... in particular the song "So Contagious")

Sixpence None the Richer/Self Titled

This is so old school. It was one of my favorite albums in HS... just recently listening to it again. For sure on of my favorite albums of all time. So rich and lovely.

Tomorrow I am sharing *ton* of new layouts from my awesome Design Team using the Betty, Roxie and Toby Collections!

Have a great day! :) Els
