I wanted to take a second today to say thanks. Thank you for your kind words and support about my WDS announcement last week. It was such a boost to read through those comments and my speech continues to grow and get stronger. At this point I only have a 5 minute pause for laughter…

Random person : "So, Ellerie…when did you first realize your mom was crazy?" Ellerie : "oh man. Tough call. But I think it was June 9, 2014… the day she organized my books in rainbow order." ps. here's E's full room tour with product sources.
