"Elsie...where to begin. Well for starters I don't know her personally but sometimes I feel like I do. Her creations and photographs are out of this world! Seeing her passion and determination for what she does makes me want to pick up a paint brush and splatter all over a canvas. She is very sweet and humble. And by far the MOST creative person on this planet! I wish her the best of luck in everything she does. Technically, she doesn't need luck, she's just naturally effin' amazing.

"What can I say about Elsie Flannigan? This girl is one of a kind. Her photography and scrapbooking reflect the fun charm of her personality. She isn't afraid to be who she is. I admire that. She is constantly inspiring me to do more and to try new things. I am always amazed at how much she is accomplishing and how she always seems to have a new, fresh idea. I wish that I could reach into her idea bag sometimes or put her thinking cap on. Her world seems more colorful than a normal one. I am glad to know her. I am glad that I get to be inspired by her."
