the elle crews story

 God is always teaching me lessons.
Most of which revolve around waiting.

"I want to not be teaching."
Wait.
 "I want to work in design."
Wait.
"I want a baby!"
Wait.
"I want to be a stay-at-home Mama."
Wait.
"Never mind, I don't want to be a stay-at-home Mama."
Wait.
"I want to start my own business."
Wait.
Wait.
Wait.

Ok.
Go.

The time has (almost) come and I am so excited...
(and nervous and scared and thrilled and kind-of-want-to-pass-out.)

elle crews was born out of a desire to put something out into the world and a passion for art.

I loved teaching. 
But...
I went to bed every night, dreaming of what else I could be doing.

A while back, Husband challenged me to write down my favorite things.
My passions, hobbies, talents, etc.
I did.
And then I stared at the paper.
"Okay, God. What can I do with this?"
Wait.

Over the next few months, I caught glimpses of my "dream" business.
Through Husband's nudges and encouragement,
(and God's confirmation)
elle crews was born and my dream was becoming a reality.

elle crews is a print shop.
Using a combination of my handwriting and custom fonts, 
I will be creating shirts, blank-inside cards, and wall art.

I have spent hours finalizing my designs.
Gaining influence from my every day life.
Making sure it all looks just.right.
I can't wait to share with you guys.

My products are almost finished.
My website is ready to go live.
My dream is about to come true.


(Special shout-out to my girl, Sarah for creating my logos. For some reason I could do everything but write my name!)
