Saturday?!

This week just flew by, I can’t believe it is already Saturday!

Here’s a little sneak peak of what I worked on today for something really fun to come! Today was an awesome day – so much fun scrapbooking and drinking my cup of coffee… okay… my pot of coffee. I’ll post the rest of the project soon – I promise!

I hope you all have a wonderful and sunny weekend – it is HOT here!!

She’s on the mend!

I’m happy to report that the little one is on the mend! It’s been a slower recovery after the second surgery, but we are getting there! She has to be harnessed unless we are in the studio – there she has her own gated area where jumping is impossible. The harness has help tremendously by cutting her activity down – she is a very hyper and snoopy one! We’re at week 3 and have 5 more to go πŸ™‚

Grand Opening!! and some updates!

The site is up and running smoothly! We are still in shock that we actually have a real website πŸ™‚ Thanks to you guys, of course! I am so thankful for each and every one of you! I can’t believe all the awesome people I have met over the year and all the fun and amazing things that have happened! For our “Grand Opening” we decided that each order at our new site in June will receive the special pack of 8 tags! Plus, all orders over $35 will receive free shipping, domestic and international!!

Here’s a peek at those special grand opening packs waiting to be sent out:

Also, each month will have a “monthly special” that will feature 2 to 4 items sold together, at 20% off there valued price! Here’s a link to June’s special!

And… did you see the May/June issue of Memory Makers? A layout by Kristin Hayne was featured in a two page spread and as editors pick… and it included 5 Elle’s Studio tags!!! I almost passed out when I saw it! Thanks SO much Kristin for using our tags πŸ™‚ We feel unbelievably blessed!

So much fun! I need to work on taking better photos though – that last one had a lot of glare. My USB ports are working again, so you’ll start to see more updates and lots of photos!! Now I don’t have to run to the store and burn a picture cd every time I upload a photo, LOL!!! If anyone knows of some awesome photo actions, I’d love some links πŸ™‚

I must get some rest now – happy weekend everyone!

P.S. We need more puppy prayers πŸ™ The repair on our baby’s leg broke and she had to go back into surgery yesterday (Friday). They had to do things differently, so they warned me that recovery this time is going to be a lot longer and harder. We were so bummed and feel so bad for her! We absolutely hate to see her in pain!! We also have to keep her harnessed for a couple of weeks during recovery to cut down on activity – she is such a busy girl during the day and has to know what is going on around her all the time! It is SO cute how nosey she is!! But, the harness is going to be such a challenge for me because I hate to see animals tied up… so pray for me too πŸ™‚

We’ve launched!

The new and really big thing is… We have launched our official Elle’s Studio website!!! We are so excited about things that are happening and feel beyond blessed! There are a ton of fun things in store including:
