About Ellie Shackelford

Salutations! My name is Ellie Shackelford, and I am thirteen years old. I love to read, write, knit, and dork out over new things I've found...obsessively. I love Harry Potter and Doctor Who with a burning passion usually reserved for ice cream and doodling, and in an everyday conversation, I'll probably make a reference or two. Making tea is a absentminded habit of mine, as is alphabetizing and color-coding things, so definitely don't put a handful of crayons in front of me if you want my complete attention. And finally, thanks for reading my blog, you lovely person, you.

If you have something cool to say, spit it out. Not literally. Typing is more sanitary.
