It's all about Ellie :)

Is there a word that sums up an evening of creativity? Lucky, fun, relaxed, rare...??? Nope, that dont quite do it for me...however, last night I had the great pleasure of a whole evening of working on the box part of Ellie's book whilst chatting to a couple of cool peeps on msn...I was almost wishing I had a cigarette to hand but glad I didnt because last night I would definitely have smoked it. Instead I searched, tried out, played and teased a variety of items to add to the pretty box that I found with Ellie in mind! After Kirsty saying that she likes the touchy feely approach I felt rather challenged, i've never had this take on a book so far, but not being one to give up I enlisted Princess Kirsten, we adjusted our magpie eyes and set about searching for a variety of interesting things that we could potentially use in this box book somehow. Looking at the box of stuff we've come up with its more like a junk treasure trove than anything else! Lol But we've had fun doing it, we've chatted a lot about the little I know of Ellie, we've covered a range of spiritual things as to 'why does Ellie have to go through this' kind of question and I think my daughter is a better person for having this little experience in her life. Ellie is touching people's lives in ways she doesn't even know about...bless her!! Kirsten looks out every day on Kirsty's blog to see if there's anymore about Ellie and the impending trip to Nevada, I think she's been moved by it in her heart so I say a big thank you to Ellie for being such a brave, inspirational young lady...though she probably doesn't even realise she's so exceptional!!
Right, I cant share the picture of the box book yet because The Lil Lady had first rights on it! If she likes it so far then I will do a sly shot of it...but it really is a box book to raise some money to cover any and all Ellie's costs to get to and whilst in Nevada, so please dig deep and get anyone you know signing up for the box book class...is only £6 and EVERY penny will go direct to Ellie's fund. I cant give an exact date when the class will be available as Ellie is the one that is guiding what the project is all about...:) But I will have it up as soon as I get enough info from her.
Please sign up to my newsletter to keep updated on Ellie's fundraising and how she's getting on, though I'm sure Kirsty will have all that's to know over on her blog HERE.
I'll probably be back later to blog some good ole waffle...right now i'm still cleaning up after a baking session and some sly cardmaking (which i'm rubbish at but it was essential!!)
So....S.M.I.L.E!!
