Some new noel line under my tree would be lovely. Hope you pick me!!!
I went roller skating not too long ago, I think my skates were too tight so I wasn’t doing very well. It just goes to show you how carefree you are when you’re a kid and how much fear you have as you get older lol. I didn’t want to embarass myself in front of my bf lol.
I feel like the holidays were slow to arrive but now suddenly everything is moving so fast! must get things done! :] happy painting and holiday-ing!
I’m really looking forward to the holidays, but it is a very busy time indeed!
Love the pic of you skating! It’s been a long time since I’ve put my skates on and it’s gonna be a while before I do because I’m 21 weeks pregnant. But once the baby is born, I’ll give it a try again! Always loved skating.
Can’t wait the see your video and your new paintings look awesome!
Hi Elsie,
What a feast for the eyes. Your photos are magical and very inspiring. I can’t wait to see your Peter Pan art work. DREAMY! Merry Christmas from Australia.
Love the roller skating pic! Brings back some great memories!
Have you read the Peter-inspired books by Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson? Peter and the Starcatchers, Peter and the Shadow Thieves, and the new one, Peter and the Secret Rundoon… they’re must reads if you’re a Peter Pan fan! That and of course Finding Neverland which is one of my top-ten fave movies ever!! Lovin your new art!
So much fun stuff, Elsie! Can’t wait to see your peter pan-esque paintings…=) they do keep life fresh!
Her videos are cute. They remind me of my life a few years ago- promoting and touring with my friends’ bands [always the 1 girl amongst the boys], going to shows, and all that fun. My boyfriend is in a band now, but we have both totally grown out of that lifestyle. Fun stuff to watch though 😉 Can’t wait to see more of your loft!
Can’t wait to see the peter pan inspired paintings!

If you ever come to manitoba, we should hang out & scrapbook..hee hee

LOL … I went skating days before I got pregnant 🙂 It was for a friends kids party. It was HILARIOUS! I had not been skating in 12 years … not since high school. I just remember skating to the “Wam Bam Thank You Ma’am Jam” HOW FUNNY IS THAT!?!?!?

You razzle dazzle me. Can’t wait to see more of your new paintings and maybe some new felt work? The Mr. and Mrs. Owls would make great felt animals. Hint hint!!! Take care.

speaking of peter pan… did you see finding neverland? it is so awesome!
the pp stuff is cute. will this be for paper and other product?
Wow…heimafilm is incredible! I love the music of Sigur Ros!
I thought I would share a film with you that you may or may not have seen. It is sort of similar in content although it is not showcasing one’s music at all. There is absolutely no speaking in the film but it is a magical journey through the cultures of the earth and through nature. If you haven’t seen it and take the time to see it, I hope you enjoy it! I love it, it is SOOOOOO Beautiful.
Hi. I actually enjoyed reading your current blog post!. Good quality content. I might advise you to write articles much more often. By doing this, with such type of a helpful site I think that you could rank higher in the search engines 🙂 . I also subscribed for your Rss. Keep up this excellent job!
