last night when i was half asleep i had a rush of inspiration… i wrote down some random notes in the dark and this morning i was delighted to find these ideas sleeping beside me. lesson learned: it's always a good thing to sleep with pen and paper. well, it's monday and i have a feeling this is going to be a wonderful week for creating. for the next few days i am in what i like to call "love, elsie lockdown" (meaning i won't be leaving my house… except to get starbucks… until a new collection is completed). maybe i will take some breaks here and there to post on here though… you just might be my only connection with the outside world! so if you are feeling crafty, let's make some stuff…. ok? happy monday to all…

You are just too cute, Elsie!! Thanks for sharing your creative thoughts you wrote down while half asleep. Have a fantabulous week!!
I hear you about feeling like it’s a creative week and yes I sleep with a pen and notebook by my bed…believe it or not it is when I come up with my best ideas!

I TOTALLY DO THE SAME THING IN THE DARK! The problem later is that sometimes I can’t read my own writing or the notes don’t make sense when I’m fully awake! LOL!!!!!!! Thanks for sharing!
I DO THE SAME THING AT NIGHT!!!! I write inpsiration notes too. But the big problems are not always being able to read my own handwriting & sometimes not being able to make sense of my notes once fully awake! LOL!!!!! Hope you notes totally keep you inspired!
Well, monday is almost finished here in Holland. But I wish you a create-full week, have fun and let us know how you are doing! 🙂
P.s. Totally jealous cuz you can get starbucks all the time and me… only when I’m at the airport or in a foreign country!!!

CUTE Photos!
Can the new lines please please please please please have some cute Birds and bird things in them?? It seems like I can NEVER find cute funky things with birds so I can scrapbook my 5 babies (3 parakets and 2 mini parrots)… just a idea if you have a artist block 🙂
so cute!
BTW, just wanted to let you know that your post about your new etsy update inspired mad creativity in me! I spent all weekend making stuff, and it was so much fun. Thanks! : )
Too cute! Glad you are able to read it! I hate it when I can’t read my night writing.
I love the way you do your make-up! oh that’s my add kicking in….focus Stella! I mean to say…have a great creative week Elsie. enjoy that coffee break!
Elsie getting creative is always a good thing!:)
YAY!! I can’t wait to see more collections from you 🙂
Have fun creating swetie!
You have the coolest job ever!! I am a homebody and I would love to stay home for a week…except Starbucks as well!
Can’t wait to see what your lockdown creates. Don’t you love those late night thoughts. I fall asleep thinking of new ideas. Keep it up girlie you’re doing amazing work!!
OMG! I do that too! Usually poems though, and sometimes page ideas when they come to me. Very smart to have a pen and paper nearby!
LOL! I would do that too!!! Ideas, thoughts, things I have to do…
the same thing happens to me sometimes too.. and the funny thing is, I always seem to get my best creative ideas right when I lay down in bed. A pen and paper on my nightstand is a must! 🙂
I’m looking forward to seeing what you’ll do with these ideas of yours…. tree experiment? I’m enticed!
xoxo
Yes this is going to be a very productive and creative week, lots of ideas and feeling really happy and energized, I even did some LO:s after midnight yesterday. I don’t do that a lot since my daughters tend to wake at 5.30 a.m….
What a cute and gorgeous girl!!!
You certainly should keep your notebook and a pen besides your bed…My best ideas are coming during the “almost asleep” phase.
I always have ideas when almost asleep, it gets almost annoying! I have a notebook also 🙂
