Thank you, THANK YOU for the website feedback yesterday. I think I worked out the majority of the bugs. I am excited to bring the website more to life in the next few months by adding more book + project photos. Eventually I would like the website to be an online store, but there is a lot of time between now and then.

I got a few questions in the comments on HOW I made the website. I did not use an online program, I coded it myself using a program called Dreamweaver. I would consider Dreamweaver the Photoshop of making websites. I don't think building a site like mine is very tricky (JUST TIME CONSUMING) if you have Dreamweaver, access to google and a book about HTML. That said, if you would like to have a website built, I am able to work with you to help design one. Like anything else, there is a fee. Email me for details.

THREE WINNERS :

Picture 1 The handbound book goes to #79 Indigorchid

The mixed paper book goes to #145 Patty W.

The envelope of paper goods + letterpress prints goes to #84 Marina H.

Please email me with your address and I will get your prize shipped off.


TODAY :

It's a prep day. I have decided to move up the next shop update and post some mixed paper books and more journals on MONDAY 7/13 @ 1pm est. That means there are books to be made and photos to take. SIDENOTE : I am going to be back in CA for the last two weeks of July. If you would like a custom journal before August, now is the time to get your order in.

Also on the list, GYM. During the month of June I ran & lifted weights 20 times in 30 days. With all the vacations scheduled there is no way I will beat that for July, but I am going to try anyway.

I need to run to the post office, good will, and somewhere where I can buy inexpensive colored pencils and nighttime face lotion. I'm thinking Target.

    Elise,
    I totally heart the new website. It just exudes ‘Elise-ish-ness’ (in other words, it is just so TOTALLY you!)
    The only suggestion i have is that i would like some sort of border or something on the main page, nothing bold or loud just something to define the space a bit more. But then, that is really just a matter of personal taste. Other wise, 100% stylish goodness!
    Also i spotted a mention of a new month-long art journal class… oooh cant wait for details!
