i am inspired by...


Elsie Flannigan :)
To say that stumbling upon Elsie's blog one day changed my life, would be an understatement.
Through her classes, her blog, her inspiring attitude, her drive, and her friendship I have become the person I have always wanted to be creatively.
I love her cute, fresh, original style so much.
I have many of her painting adorning my own walls at home :)
Here are some of her paintings that I love so much:






and not too mention her amazing craft kits, journal pages, toys, jewelry, art journals, etc.
I heart her studio:







Her cutie pie shop in Springfield, Missouri:




And her ever-changing AMAZING online shop :)

So, in conclusion, as weird as it sounds, Elsie played a huge part in who I am today with my creative life. I really cherish our friendship.
I think she's pretty amazing.
You should check her out if you haven't already.
Happy Friday friends!!
