Question: WHY OH WHY are you up so early? MY excuse (reason) is that I decided to go to bed at a civil hour (10:30) and now I’m apparently DONE sleeping. What is one supposed to DO at 4:30 in the morning?
As for what to share…Any photos of your sweet little puppy? Pug pics are ALWAYS good subject matter!

At least you’re still posting everyday π
I love when you share pictures of your every day life, your apartment is too cute for words. You can share decorating tips. You can also share your current favorite people, places and things to scrapbook.
Whatever you share I’m sure will be amazing you always give me such great ideas!
Why don’t you write about what you want to do when you grow up π
or where you see yourself in 5 years.
just an idea…you were asking π
How about what you are doing to prepare for CHA? This is my first time and I am so hoping I get to meet you.

what’s your favorite snack and does it change in summer time
Hey Elsie! How about sharing your beau’s sneakers that he ended up buying–the ‘red’ ones! LOL! Did you ever update us on that?
Lori C
How about more pics of inside your home? I loved your “CRIBS” video from your friend at Christmas time and I find creative people’s homes fascinating and inspirational! And I suspect I’m not alone!
Many Blessings,
Melissa

how about your makeup? you and emma always look so gorgeous and flawless! i would love to know your fave brands/colors, etc…
sorry Elsie! i couldn’t figure out why my comment wasn’t posting…now I see that they are moderated! {silly me}
Maybe show us some of your favorite clothes or jewelry? Pictures of your closet?
I run out of ideas on my blog, too. π
how about some fun photos of your great apartment? i would LOVE to see more shots of that great studio of yours…happy wednesday!
Why don’t you share things that you dislike. It’s a change from hearing about things that you do like (and it’s fun to see what pet peeves we all have).
Photo’s?I always love them π
Besides your honey’s music ,, what other kind of music are you listening to? Any good books, too?
How about giving a few scrapping prompts or mini book ideas. You always have such fresh, fun ideas!
Hi Elsie, show me your dream travel trip.
Where do you wanna go some time and what will you do in that country. Love to hear that. Hope to see you at my blog sometime. X Mika
I know! Share a picture of your refrigerator door π Here’s mine http://www.elin79.se/?s=kylsk%C3%A5p I love the angel we got from my sister in law and the timer, don’t like the note board much at all… but it stays as I love the messages I get from my husband on it π
you should tell us how/where you met all your cute red velvet friends. I’m very interested in that. π
<3katie

http://emilyzaclucy.blogspot.com/2008/06/10-things-tagged-by-erin.html
how about “a day in the life of YOU”. What’s your typical day like?
Pictures of your home. And some of your scrapbook pages. I just love your blog and check it every day.
How about the 10 things you can’t get through the day without (i.e. lip gloss, carrot sticks, favorite shoes, a song…)? π
Happy Wednesday!
How bout a how-to-make-something step-by-step? =) he he…just something fast and silly and maybe even totally unecessary, but fun. Happy day!
could we see some old pictures? i’ve only seen your recent ones you post here and id love to see some others π
top five fav pairs of shoes…what a cute idea.
anything in the everyday. some little something you heard, watched, ate, or read that caught your eye or made you think. not necessarily deep, just something in the everyday details. this is where people relate.
just to get your mind going…your thoughts on scrapbook storage.
You should do a tutorial on how you get your hair in those SUPER*CUTE head bands so that they don’t fall out!
we love to just hear about your life and your creative pursuits! :]
also, since i am a bit of a cheater, i will take this opportunity to ask you something: i am moving to springfield in a couple months and i’d LOVE to know some of the fun venues, thrift stores, cool areas of town, etc. that you love. soo…my idea is for you to share about your everyday life and what you love about where you live π
I am an old lady but enjoy you so much, I think one of the reasons I enjoy you so much is because my 20 year old daughter enjoys your work, what advice do you have to young girls who haven’t figured out what they want to be when they grow up? Where did you find the faith to follow your dreams?
What about your hally-nesses??
What makes you happy and smile.
What you do when you’re feeling sucky??
favorite candy???
I am really disorganized when it comes to my inspiration and keeping track of all the great websites I come across.
So, how do you organize the stuff you find on the internet?
Hi Elsie,
I’d love to know your thoughts on the technical side of photography…raw vs. jpg? manual mode or other? What is your workflow….what tweaks do you tend to do with most of your photos? how do you decide?
You should write a decorating book! You are destined to be rich and famous! You are fantastic!
Answer some more of our questions! Loved that blog post!
how about your top25 most played playlist from itunes?
How about a sneak CHA hint, like how many new lines are you introducting at CHA or what are just the names of your new lines?
Hey Elsie!
You could always do a blogroll post … share your fave blogs with us … scrap related or not!! What blogs to you make sure you check out every day?
I was going to ask about your dogs too! π I just got a pug and I love seeing pictures of them!
Hi Elsie,
I would love to see your scarpbook Layout. I haven’t see any new layout lately.. I miss them.
I am down here in the HOT AZ sun and I was wondering what your favorite yummy cold drink is. Do you have a recipe?
Would totally love an update on your beau’s shoes…did he find a comparable pair on Zappos.com?
I bought your 2st book today and I <33333 it! :]]] so inspiring
If I were coming to your town for a vacation, please tell me some places to visit that I wouldn’t usually here about, some places to eat that are known to locals for the good food and service, and some cool places to shop for antiques and vintage things. Anything else that you think I would like to see or do also.
