YAY FUN!
I forgot to add a question!
I also live in Springfield and I know you’ve named a few of your favorite places around town… But I was wondering what is one of your favorite places to go in Springfield where we would never think we’d see Elsie? Somewhere totally random?
ok random questions-
if you had a pet turtle what would you name it?
favorite icecream topping?
annnnnd
would you rather have a washing machine or dishwasher?

Have you seen UP! yet? I have, and cried my eyes out. And reminded me of how much I wanted to be a kid again, and how I have the power to do so if I wish. =]
Hi Elsie!
I spent last night watching your videos on you tube and you are just so cute!
a random question….hhhhmmmm….
which character from a wes anderson movie can you relate to the most?
Love the postcard set and am sad I can’t stay up for your party. I have work in 6 hours so I have to get to bed unfortunately.
“UP” is the best!!! Everyone must see!!!
How fun!
My question is, as a business woman AND artist, how do you manage your time and organize yourself?
Hi Elsie! I have been reading your blog for awhile now and get so much inspiration from it. 🙂
Random question: If you had $50 to spend anywhere right now, where would you spend it and why?
Can’t wait to see what you have in store for today!
those embroidery projects give me so many ideas. soo cute.
and i thought of a question…
if you could travel anywhere in the world, where would you go??
eeek, I LOVE that bike! it’s insanely cute.
who is/was your favorite superhero? (how’s that for random!)…can’t wait to see what’s next! : )
hey elsie! love all of the embroidery pictures!
for the randomness…
-if you could only paint with one color, what would it be?
-if you could be a character in a book, who would you choose to be?
– if you could whisk your entire family (and Jeremy, too) off to a magical vacation, where would you take them?
See you in an hour 😉
MARGOT! you need to quit it before i wake people up from my laughter. . . but keep going because it cracks me up.
oh and could someone point me to the restroom?
You say goodbye,
& I say hello.
Hello
hello!!

q: when coming up with a new painting, do you sketch it alot before putting it to canvas??

Laura: Wasn’t it the best? So many cute ideas are in my head now because of that movie!
Hi Elsie!!
Do you make prints of your art (like postcards, art prints, etc.) with a home printer or do you get it done outside your studio?
Hi Elsie!!! I’m so excited, I’ve never been to a blog party!!! I’m staying up all night making stuff.
Ok now for the questions…

question: you’ve said b/f that you don’t have a TV or a microwave – is this a new thing, were you raised that way, etc. Just curious! Don’t see anything wrong with it – (I’m about 10 years older that you can can def. remember life before microwaves and VCRs!)
Holy Moly! I’m so excited to see what the 24 hour blog party will be like! You are such an ambitious lady 🙂

Hello there!

Bummed that I gotta work in the a.m. and that little people don’t rest more during the day. Sleep is required. I’ll definitely be checking in. I love fun stuff!

Hi Elsie, I’m so excited about the party!
I don’t know which I love more, the pink bike or the vintage embroidery pattern. Thanks for sharing both, though! 🙂
for some reason i thought your store was located in portland, and i was so excited b/c i’m visiting there in a few weeks.
now i am crushed.
i’d love to see all the goodies in person.
one day.
awesome, love the blog party! i have been really really wanting those postcards for a long time. so rad.
Thank you for making monday fun.
I love the vintage guys, they are too cute. I am looking forward to getting my girl painting in the mail. I can’t wait to see it.
Hi Elsie! I love that you’re doing this 24 hour blog party because I’m up late with pregnancy ickys and now I have something to keep me company 🙂 looking forward to your posts today! <3
oh, hello. 🙂
random Qs:
1 – where do you get your hair cut/styled?
2 – what’s your favorite brand of embroidery floss?
3 – where do you buy your canvasses?
Hi Elsie,
I read your blog daily and always feel inspired and uplifted after a daily dose of A Beautiful Mess! A blog party is such a fun idea! Looking forward to reading more:)
Cari
Hello! Love the beautiful bikes! Sad I won’t be a part of this all day… I am taking my youth kids to camp for the week!
Oooh super fun! How funny, I just bought a TON of embroidery thread today to play around with it. I have to take a nap for a few hours because I’ve been up for almost 2 straight days trying to get my web-store ready to launch [goal is by the end of tonight, June 1st!!].
I’ll check back in a couple hours 🙂
-Lex
hi Elsie! I just wanted to say that I’m very inspired by your blog and that its always so fun to stop by and see what you’re up to. And 24 hours of blogging? Thats insane fun!!
Cassidy

{xoxo} ally
Hello Elsie!
I bet it´s going to be such a fun day. 🙂 I´ll be checking back every hour. hihi!
funn stuff!
Hello Elsie!!
-Maria
Hello! I love parties!
hi, hello and all of that!
so, this party is sponsored by starbucks, yes? man, i’m tired already…
Have you ever melted crayons?
Lovely embroidery, BTW.
I’m awaiting the fun! The day is almost over here but the night has just begun 🙂 All the way from wintery Sydney, Australia.
i really hope i can stay up all night! haha.
i came prepared.
since my twin janel is here….(hi!)….i thought i would tell you that i posted my unplugged challenge results on my blog.
i know you were looking forward to seeing it! it might not have been as productive as yours, but it was a great experience! thanks for the idea!
what does everyone have planned for this week?!
random questions (:
would you ever do a duet with Jeremy?
If you could bring someone famous back from the dead and have dinner with them who would it be?
would you rather live on a mountain or live in a tree?
if you could be any character from a fairy tale who would you be?
xo
i love you blog! and this blog party concept is amazing.
where is your favorite state to visit? why? and during which season?
what was your hang out in high school? why?
eeeeek so exciting !
it is very early morning here in the uk and the sun is out !!!!! yipeee
sat here with a coffee and looking forward to sitting in my studio by the river, tunes on reading your entries through my day ….. happy times me thinks !!!!!
very cute as always! Im lovn watching you move slowly into the art world. Just think of your work as fun art and fine art-two different areas with two different prices and it will go well. i have to ban the indian headdress thou! That and the war paint are going to get crazy backlash -see articles about juliette Lewis! Look it up a bit and you’ll see what I mean. Keep creating your cuteness!
oh wow! i did not know you had this lil thingy. this is neat, i will have to check it out often : )
ahhhcute shtuff.
best of luck!
yay for blog parties!
Hi Elsie…Hi everyone.
Just wanted to pop in and say hello. I can’t hang out tonight. I have to go to sleep early. 🙁 I hope you all have a blast though, I know you will.
Random question…..What are your next big plans Elsie? And I love all of the creating you’re doing, everything is awesome. I missed the shop update and it looks like most everything was gone before I got there to shop. Great job.
morning starshine! the earth says hello!
what do you wish people would understand?
Hi Elsie!!!
I’m Nik and would rather be spending my night in here but I have a meeting to get to later tonight. Question??? Hmm…might need to think about that one…I know that I would love to get you to do a portrait of my daughter that I could then get transferred into a tattoo…but that’s not really a question LOL!!!
I love to cook!!!
Do you like to cook and whats your fav recipes, entree, main and dessert???
Fun fun stuff!! Girl you have too much energy at this time of the morning!! *L*
Will check back in the am after work…but for now I must get to bed so I CAN go to work! 🙂
hi elsie! love your blog (of course) because it is fun to see how/what you create and to watch your fun “kitchyness” display. ;0)
Hello! Nate and spencer saying Hello from H-wood! I am staying up all night and crafting! We are going to our favorite pancake joint with some friends in a few! We’ll eat some extra for you!
Question Who is your favorite band to see play live?
Glad I stayed awake to catch your giveaway! 🙂 I love your site – it’s inspired be to buy my first sewing machine! Haven’t made much so far, but I’m in love!
Hello!!! what a great idea 24 hour paaaaaaaarttttyyy. AND its at a normal hour over here in OZ. Even better!! yaya
hello elsie!!! im so glad i can take part in this blog party!!! so much fun!!!
my randm question is what did u study at college? and will u ever get another dog?

Hi Elsie! I was waiting ’til midnight then I just realized you are a few hours ahead of me. The party is already started! Hope you at least took a good nap beforehand!
This is SUCH a super idea! i want to do this myself sometime — although maybe I could aim for 12 hours. 24 might send me into a spin!!
Anyway, random question: what was your favourite book as a child?
Hiya Babe!
Here’s my Q: It’s about Salvation Mountain. Were there a lot of visitors there? I just can’t picture in my mind how visiting it would be. Do you just walk around randomly and happen to stumble upon Mr. Leonard or is he running up to greet you? I look around on roadtripamerica.com a lot and would love to hit it up one day.
Just wanted to say a huge HI from New Zealand.. I have been following your blog for a long time but never commented… Its 6.30pm here monday night and just getting kids to bed and im about to scrapbook.. will keep checking in on your posts 🙂 Alisa
hi elsie,
you throw a kickin’ party! i just went to the maker faire here near san francisco today and got lots of great pics, inspiration, sun, and am excited to join your blog party and keep the fun going! i’ll be rearranging my craft studio, finishing an embroidery piece (how appropriate), and looking for my camera cord during the festivities! thanks for the inspiration!
xoxo,
craftYARD
p.s. what’s your favorite dinner to cook?
Good morning everyone*!*
Elsie, how did your parents encourage you and your creativity? Is there a special project you worked on together that still makes you smile?
Hooray! Glad to see the start of a whole night o’ fun!
hello! i’m excited about your blog party and wishing i didn’t have to get up and go to work in the morning. will have to play catch up when i get home.
love the pink bike w/the basket…
Hello Elsie and everyone else here,
great pictures and great party.
Happy birthday to Jamie and Jeremy.
xoxo

xo.
mandy
Hello!
Random: When you make a mess painting, do you mess your clothes too? Or do you wear a cute apron (or overall 🙂 ?
Hello Elsie,
I love this idea so much!!! It’s awesome!
Jule
Hello Elsie! What a great fun blog party idea you got here!
Hey “gurl”, what a “par-te”…winks!
Have you ever stopped to consider how many people are saying “hello” to each other today, and in how many different languages? If you wanted to say “hello” to everyone on the planet, you would have to learn at least 2,796 languages and greet at least 6,500,000,000 people.
English – hello (formal), hi (informal), hey (informal,)
wow! your idea to have a big party is great!
i want to be inspired!
have fun together!
hugs
Eleonora
Elsie! I just wanted to tell you how much I enjoy reading your blog! It’s the first one I read in my blog reader cuz it’s so much fun and it inspires me. This 24 hour blog deal tonight rocks as I work weekends/nite shifts and it’s something to keep me awake!
Those cards are hilarious and how beautiful is that pretty in pink bike?
i love all the underwear prints!! I still need to frame them…thinking of putting them in the bathroom? or laundry room…hmmm…
love coming to visit!!
Hello!
Can’t wait to come home and read the rest of your entries!!
😀
HELLOOOOO 😀
underwear underwear underwear! ><
I’m a few hours late, but wanted to say hi anyway. I’m awake for a bit thanks to contractions and my daughter kicking me in my own bed. Sheesh!

Here is a random question for you…what talent do you wish you had that you currently do not possess?
This is such an amazing idea!
i hope i will not miss some giveaway when i’ll be gone for the work today !

what was the most challenging thing you had to do to open your store ?
I love this idea of a 24hour blog party! thanks so much for all your inspiration! today will be a GREAT day! 🙂

Hi from Mexico.
Lovely idea Elsie.
hello!
that pink bike is so amazing!!
I am not trying to get an extra entry in, I just can’t remember if I’ve left a comment or not.
I’m so glad you are doing this, it is such a cheery thing – and great to compliment my last week of classes for the quarter. 🙂
Hi Elsie!
?s:
What is your favorite color TODAY?
Mine changes all the time. Right now its teal.
I am opening a art/handmade/furniture/vintage boutique in the fall. Any advice?
ALso, what was one major thing that was different that how you had planned or what you anticipated when opening the store?
yikes!! I just got on my lunch break at work here; and wanted to ask a totally random question 🙂
If you could invent a crayon color and name in likeness of yourself what would it be and why?
Thanks Elsie!!
xo
Kyla.
Ohhh my God!!! You are great ELSIE!!! I love your ideas! Do you study “art”? Kisses from Spain!!!
I don’t see my post, so I’ll try again (sorry if it’s a repeat)
I said:
Hi!!
I know these are kind of personal, but I thought I’d try anyways.
Are you going to become a Mrs. Larson in the future?
and what made you decide to get your tattoos?
🙂
Hi Elsie! Great “party” – I’m glad I had to day off to participate 🙂
my question to you: How do you get such amazing self-portraits? Is there a particular lens you use? and do you typically take a lot of photos and just post the best ones? Thanks!
hello elsie!!!
i’m loving the party!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HI! Can’t wait to see the rest of the challenges for the day!
Hi!!! Such cute postcards. I’m in love.

oh the pink bikes are soo cute – I also seriously crack up because of those undie cards!!!!
oh my, I was working on my final project and missed the 24 hr party!! oh 🙁
heya elsie!!
first i was just wondering if you had gotten my package from rachel?
i was curious…have you ever had an idea or creation that you made and later discovered that someone else had the same idea and put theirs out there first? what did you do or would you do if it happened to you?
uh oh…i lost a few sentences of my last post.
anyway, i also wanted to say thank you for all the great inspiration not just today, but all the time. its great. i absolutely love all the great new worlds you have opened my eyes to!! its so great!!!
