News Item #1

I picked up an adorable stamp set (Jungle Pals by Sassafras Lass) at the Scrapbook Expo over the weekend. I couldn't resist creating a pile of mini cards with my new elephant stamp! There's nothing like a bit of mindless, mass-produced creativity. The patterned paper is Enchanting by Pink Paislee. Just had to share.

We're working on finishing our blog this week, so please pardon our dust! Watch for a much more professional look and feel (Ella really likes to dress up), a new set of useful side links, a weekly poll, and better navigation. And best of all? An RSS feed! We know, all your dreams have just come true.

News Item #3

We have a winner for our Year of Free eBooks contest held last week, in conjunction with our exciting Grand Opening Ellabration! All you had to do to enter was sign up for our free newsletter at any point in the history of Ella Publishing Co. And we chose one random name from the list (#957), who happens to be:

Jackie Schimmel! (Well, according to her email address anyway. For all we know, her real name could be Mandy May McGill but she chooses to use a more sophisticated name as her email address. In any case, we'll be contacting "Jackie," or whoever she is, at the email provided to award the prize, so there will be no ambiguity.)

Thanks everyone for your love and support during our Grand Opening Ellabration week! Our website has been live for exactly 14 days now, and it's been a blast so far. We couldn't do it without you!

Cheers!
Angie
