I thought I'd take the time to introduce myself -I'm the creator of Lauren Elise Designs and enjoy every minute of being able to create beautiful jewelry for family, friends and clients. However, I not only love making jewelry but have a huge passion for photography! They really go hand in hand as they both require me to use my "artistic eye" and create something -either with my camera lens or with my hands! I hopefully will be introducing a photography blog next year sometime. I'm looking forward to eventually sharing my perspective on the world around me, through my photography, with all of you.
I also enjoy cooking, which my husband of course appreciates. I hate to follow a recipe but rather cook to my taste, I feel that recipes are more like guidelines anyway - I think you will never go wrong with this approach. Creating a recipe and indulging in the reward of following your instinct is such a wonderful experience! I've tried to push myself to cook new and exciting recipes and have been quite pleased with the outcome. We prefer healthy eating but only love healthy recipes that contain lots of flavor!
I am also dedicated to my music, playing the piano is something that my parents forced me to learn when I was young and now I'm ever so thankful for that! I enjoy being our church's pianist and feel privileged to be able to use my talent for my Lord! Unwinding from a long day, can be done by sitting at the piano and playing my favorite piece. It's amazing how beautiful and emotional a string of notes can be. The amount of emotion a song conveys is amazing, especially when it's God honoring music.
Decorating my home and making it a relaxing, beautiful place to be is another hobby of mine and something that I find great happiness in doing. I love being a keeper at home, taking care of my husband and making new traditions together. Life is wonderful! When we're not at home, we're thrilled to be able to do some traveling....did I mention that experiencing new places is ANOTHER love of mine? My husband and I went to Australia for our honeymoon and now soon to be four years later, we're wanting to plan an encore trip! If we didn't live in America, I guarantee you it would be Australia. We LOVE "Down Under" and enjoy all the memories we have from being there. Lord willing, we'll make it back there again one day!
Sincerely
~Lauren Elise

It was fun hearing more about you. Without sounding like a scary stalker, I feel like if we had more time to get to know one another we could be great friends. I have alot of the same interests minus the playing piano talent and jewelry talent, :) so I'll just have to buy from you in the future. With eight children, I don't have the time I want to devote to all my interests, but I'll just keep up with your blog in the meantime and see what you do and where the Lord brings your business and remember to call next time before you come to Fargo, and maybe we can get together. (My husband totally thinks I sound like a stalker, but we've met right? :)) Have a good week!
Jess, it was SO nice to meet you back in Nov! I'm glad you'll be able to keep up with me via this blog and I will definitely let you know when we're back in Fargo! I was planning to call you the next time we're there and I so would NOT do that if I thought you sounded like a stalker. haha!! That's neat that we have a lot of the same interests! I'm trying not to add any more to the list right now. ;-D Let me know if you're interested in having a party this Summer!! Take care & Happy New Year!!

I "discovered" you through the giveaway at Keeper At Home. I've enjoyed browsing your Etsy shop and am so impressed!! Some of my favorite pieces are the Audrey Necklace, the Roman Necklace, and the Red Charm Bracelet. Prices are very reasonable too!!
I'm also a church pianist and can really relate to your enjoyment of that! Although I sure remember thinking it was torture as a kid--having to take lessons and practice!! So glad my Mom didn't relent and let me quit!
Wishing you well with your new venture on Etsy!!
Hey Lauren!
I really like your picture on this post. You are so photogenic! Your etsy store is really neat and I wish you the best of luck on it. Thanks for doing a giveaway with Rachael. Miss you!
