Fun week! For sure.

Thank you again for sharing in my excitement with the launch of the Seafoam edition.

Returning to normal around here means lots of writing & website coding. (And sewing when all the writing goes well.)

The "new" elisejoy.com is live and kicking. Hooray! Feels good to give her a facelift. For now, there is a simple shop where you can purchase summer books or workshop PDFs, but come mid-September, it will be the place to be to buy stamps. Sweet. And for those of you that are new here, my website includes a (recently updated!) minibook catalog. You can see the full list with links and details here.

edit : sounds like if you are using Internet Explorer 8 and below, you will have some issues with the buttons on my site! Upgrading to IE9 (the most current version) or using a different browser (like Firefox) will solve the issue. Thank you!!

This weekend, I am driving to LA to have lunch with a few of my high school girlfriends. It feels like ages since we last met up, so it will be nice to be back in one place, telling the same old stories and catching up on all the new stuff.

Have a great weekend.

    Hooray for your new site! I’m so close to rolling out my new site design too. I can hardly wait, because it’s going to be such a vast improvement!
    I’m looking forward to seeing the new stamps you’re getting ready!
    (So many things are so worthy of exclamation marks!) 🙂

    Nothing happens when I click on “shop, workshops, minibooks, or about” only the blog link works. Hope it’s an easy fix!

    So seriously…your new site is FABULOUS! Not only that, but it made me go back and re-look at your minibook list, and I am just always in awe when I do so. Love, love, love!

    The links don’t work for me, either. It jumps to a new page with only the photo on the new page. 😦

    yes, I just tested it on IE and it is not working. I am upgrading to the newest version of IE now to see if that makes a difference. Sometimes older versions have bugs. I will let you know!

    I love your inspiration clipboards! I need to start doing something like this because I always miss things that are long lost in the bottoms of boxes.

    just got off the phone with my web hosters! Sounds like it’s an IE8 and below issue. Upgrading to IE9 or using a different browser. So sorry for confusion and technical difficulties!

    I LOVE your site update! (By the way, it works great in Chrome.) It’s been a while since I looked at your minibook list, but whenever I do, I am in awe. I appreciate you keeping that updated for mini inspiration! 🙂

    so excited about the new website! i love a little html. it’s so exciting to figure out the right code… and it works!
    i love the use of your own handwriting. I’m curious if you use a tablet or if you scan your writing in? It’s so crisp. I’d love some tips.
    congrats and all your new adventures.
    love, lindsay
