Elvis! My daughter’s favorite singer – she is 10! Our favorite song is Don’t be Cruel.
For some strange reason I was always drawn to ‘In The Ghetto’ Of course, my mom played his songs constantly when I was growing up so I got to pretty much like them all!
It is hard to pick a favorite Elvis song but I’ll say “Crying in the Chapel”. I can’t wait each morning to bring up your blog while I am getting ready for work. The pens are great. I have a pen feddish. I love all kinds of ink pens and would love to add your pen to my collection. You Rock!!
Elvis!! Huge fan here.. In fact my son is named Elvis. My favorite is “Suspisous Minds”.
and very cute Pens by the way.
I love love love Elvis! My favorite song is Love Me Tender. It was also my dear grandma’s favorite song and she sang it to/with me. I even included it as part of my wedding ceremony in 1989!
Did I mention I love Elvis?
well my dad like to hear the song Love Me Tender and i always hear it to (:
My ex-hubby use to sing Wise Men Say Only Fools Fall in Love – think he was trying to tell me something! But it is my favorite Elvis song!
Love Me Tender has always been my favorite
My husband loves Elvis. He is always singing In the Ghetto. So that will be my choice.
Hey Dawn, long time reader, first time commenter, just wanted to let you know this idea totally rocks, I made my grandmother a notebook and now I am making her a matching pen, so thank you!
Fav Elvis song, mmm, if I had to pick only one it would be Teddy Bear – love the King!
Me too, Love me tender! Can’t beat that love song! I love your blog, I visit every day!

I don’t know if I have a favorite song… they are all so great. My favorite movie was about a little girl that he gave a teddy bear to… don’t remember the name of the movie though. I remember the day he died and it came on the news, I cried and cried. I was gonna marry elvis when I grew up. I was 6 I think. lol But if I have to pick a favorite I guess Teddy bear would be it.
LOVE your blog~! Thanks for all you do!
With Bowzer, It’s gotta be You Ain’t Nothing But a Hound Dog.
He sure is one “Hot Dog”!
Hugs, Sharon

Hi Dawn! Love your pens! You are such an inspiration. I look forward to checking your site each day! Elvis song…I’m going with Hound Dog since you posted that super cute pic of Bowzer as a pirate! Loved that too! I did my dog as Donald Trump! HeeHee
How can you pick just one. There are so many that are my fav’s. From watching the movies of course. My list of favorites are: suspicious minds,
can’t help falling in love,
It’s now or never,
All shook up,
Hound dog,
My blue suede shoes,
return to sender.
Ok that’s enough, I’m not really that old.
Great pens Dawn – love them!! And, my fave is You Ain’t Nothin’ but a Houndog – of course, teehee!! Thanks! *STAMPIN HUGS* Alex
I would have to say that my all time favorite Elvis song is “All Shook Up!” You do know that now it will be stuck in my head all day right? 😀 That’s ok. Maybe I will have my class sing some Elvis songs! Hehe. These pens are awesome! I can’t wait to try my own! 😀
Great pens Dawn. It’s definitely hard to pick just one song from the King, but I guess it would have to be “In the Ghetto”.
-*Linda*-
My favorite Elvis song is “A Little Less Conversation” It always makes me want to dance!!
My fav is Blue Suede Shoes-but its really hard to pick just one!
I love reading your blog everyday and must admit…I’m not one to comment or enter contests but when I saw ELVIS I had to do it! Huge Elvis fan here…Love Me Tender is mine. That among others were sung at my wedding. I also have a life-size cut out that made a wedding appearance too! 🙂 Everyone thinks I’m crazy! Thank you…thank you very much (for the chance to win). Have a good one.
Barb M.
It is so hard to pick just one of Elvis’ songs. All of his songs are so good. But I am going to say Little Sister.
love your tutorials and look forward to seeing what you’re making each day. Thanks for sharing and for the chance to win. My favorite Elvis tune is Love Me Tender. I remember my mom taking me to the movies to see the movie. Now I’m showing my age!
I love your take on the beaded pens! How fun.
Crying in the chapel!
Blue Suede Shoes….
Does the beads fall off the pen while using it or does that tape keep them stuck on for good? I’ve been wanting to try this but was unsure if the beads stayed on. Thanx for another wonderful video, and I can’t wait for Saturday’s.
I check your blog first thing every morning…love your tutorials/videos…
I have shared your site address with all the gals in my SU group and now their HOOKED too…keep up the good work..
Fav Elvis song is the one you played during the video…Stuck on You.
Hi Dawn,
My favorite Elvis song is Jail house Rock. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Dawn, for all the hard work that you put into your blog, I check it out every day. My favorite Elvis song would have to be “A Little Less Conversation”
mmmmmmm not sure about the name of it, but it’s the song that the lyrics sing, “Lord, this time you gave me a Mountain, that I can’t climb”, kwim?
Thanks for the chance to play & win, wink, wink((((hugs))
Gina
“Suspicious Minds”
These beaded pens are great birthday craft ideas for little girls too.
I’ve gotta vote for Love Me Tender…cause that’s what I need!
I’ll have to go with love me tender! I love the stripes on your pens:)
My daughter and I love it
when Jail House Rock is on..She is only 3, but she dances her little heart out..
Thanks so much and Happy stamping!!
“Jailhouse Rock,” baby!
Wow, what a wonderful “twist” on the beaded pen….Fantastic. Right away I thought my favorite song would be JailHouse Rock, but then I started reading what other people put and I don’t know….All shook up, In the Ghetto, Return to Sender…all good. Joan
Good morning…well…it’s still morning here in CA. I was up way to late cutting cardstock for my Sat. class. I’d have to say
Suspisous Minds…love it.
Now…back to scoring and cutting boxes…for Sat.
Hugs!
Jolie
I can’t help falling in love with you. Great song!!! I got every Elvis song done off itunes for $9 what a steal!!!!
Love your website.
Love your blog. I read it everyday. Your projects are so awesome and the videos are great. Thanks for all your inspiration. Fav Elvis song has to be Kentucky Rain and In the Ghetto. Love them both.
Oh…I love LITTLE SISTER..lol
my younger daughter sings it to her older sister…jokingly of course…because “God help the mister who comes between her and her sister”
😉
I like I, John. It’s one of the gospel songs he did. Love your blog and all your cool projects! God bless!
So its a little before my time but I remember hearing my dad sing Teddy Bear
Favorite Elvis song is Suspicious Mind. Love your blog and all of your great tutorials!!
Dear Dawn,
I love your videos–just found you a week or so ago (through someone at Cafe’Mom). I have to be honest–I don’t really know any Elvis songs! So–the title that comes to mind is Blue Suede Shoes, although he wrote one about a hound dog that somehow seems very fun. So–I hope I win! 🙂
How can you just pick one? I would have to say… Always on my Mind
You have such great ideas and I love the videos. Thanks for your hard work putting this all together. Oh my fav. Elvis song is “Love Me Tender” if I am in a sappy mood. If I am in an up beat mood it is more like “Jailhouse Rock”
Thanks for all the great tutorials “girlie”. My favorite Elvis song is Love Me Tender.
Mine would hve to be Teddy Bear and Viva Las Vegas. I just love them both and can’t pick just one.
Love the pens!!! They are FAB!!!
Would have to say… Always on my Mind
Dawn it would have to be Jail house Rock! It is a swinging song. I like Elvis too. Loved watching his movies and moves when I was growing up.

Thanks for directions on the pens – I can’t wait to try them.
Sue
Love your video tutorials! “Love Me Tender” is still one of my all time favorites.
My favorite is You ain’t nothing but a hound dog! 2nd is Blue Suede Shoes. Have a good one!
“I Can’t Help Falling In Love With You”. THis year it’s my daughters ballet recital song….How can you not love Elvis and 5 year olds in Tutus?????
Love Me Tender
Judy
Favourite Elvis song….the lot. He is the King but I would of loved to hear him sing “Love me Tender” in person. Love your pens too. Marls
My fav would be Teddy Bear. I love “in the Ghetto” as well. My MIL is a huge Elvis fan and always wants to take the memorbilia home from Jack Astor’s. Dawn I love your tutorials. Keep on sharing and thanks for your inspirations and willingness to share ;~)
I would say Jail House rock. I remember when I was little my mom dancing around singing it! 🙂
I love all Elvis songs but one of my favorites is “Are you Lonesome tonight?” Your pens are great!!
My favorite Elvis song is Suspicious Minds, but In the Ghetto is a close second. Thanks for the chance to win some blog candy! I just recently found you through you tube and am so glad I did!
Mine is “You Ain’t nuthin but a Houndog.
Dawn…that was a great tutorial! “Can’t Help Falling in Love” and “Love Me Tender” are my favorites.
hm, favorite Elvis song? It’s the one I think of when I look out the window…Kentucky Rain! It is cold and raining here.
Shala
I love Elvis…who doesn’t! I think the song that gets me the most…brings me to tears every time I hear it is “Only Fools Rush In” I was just listening to it…great song!
Charmaine
Not really an Elvis fan but I do love “Can’t help falling in love with you” Not sure if that’s the name. Joan
Love the pen idea! My fav Elvis song is Blue Suede Shoes. He rocks just like your awesome bead pen. 🙂
My favorite is “I Can’t Help Falling In Love With You”. Love this idea for the pens. Can’t wait for the next tutorial.
oh, ok well not a huge elvis fan, sorry,hope that doesnt’ make it so I can’t win the candy!!!! I would say my favorite one is the Teddy Bear Song………..”I just want to be your Teeeddyyy Bear!!!”
OMG!! Do I only get to choose one Elvis song? I love ALL Elvis songs! I love how he sings How Great Thou Art…that is indeed a favorite! Thanks for having a contest on my man!
Lori
great pens Dawny. Jail House Rock
These are so cute I never knew how to get the paper in there! Silly Me!!! My Favorite Song… Blue Suade Shoes hehehehe
Hey, Dawn! I love your blog and check it daily! I don’t have a favorite Elvis song, but my husband grew up listening to Elvis and his favorite song is Kentucky Rain.
My favorite Elvis song is not that well known as the others mentioned here. I Was the One really shows the outstanding range of the King’s voice. A close 2nd would be Mama Liked the Roses.
The pens are a real keeper
So many songs to choose from that are great but I love (not sure why)In the Ghetto.
Dawn, I love your work and can’t wait to check your blog every day. You are awesome and thanks for all you do to share.
Debbie
Falling in love with you is my favorite tune and I play it on my bagpipes! Yes, that’s right on the bagpipes and the audiences love it.
I found your blog by accident & am so glad I did. Thanks for sharing your work & for “BLOG CANDY”. My favorite Elvis song is Blue Suede Shoes..
This is the first time I have left a comment on your site, I just love all the great ideas you come up with. I visit your site every day, as far as my favorite song I would have to say Love Me Tender .
There will never be another Elvis – his songs were all so amazing. Hound Dog was one of my all-time favorites. Thanks for the tutorial!
Love those yummy pens! My fav Elvis song is Suspicious Minds. Thanks for all of your awesome ideas.
OK.. so I totally love the pens done that way. I did a bunch up for the girls at work, but all the beads kept falling off… so I Crystal Effects them on there, and now we don’t have the little beads everywhere!!!
My favourite Elvis song is, I think, A little less conversation. I really do love all of his stuff, tho… and I think my Aunt Elaine is one of his biggest fans EVER. I think she still has one of those cheesy velvet pics of him in her house. (I do love her in spite of it!!)
Anyway, I love your blog… Thanks so much for all the great ideas!! Now if I can just get the sound on my computer to work so I can watch the video tutorials and they’ll make way more sense, I’m sure!!!
Gosh, Dawny, my favorite song is hard to chose because I love so many of his songs, but, I would say Teddy Bear.
Angel hugs
Debby
love me tender
What a fantastic take on the beaded pens !!! My favourite Elvis song is…All Shook Up…I can’t help but dance when I hear that song 🙂
I love these pens…and as a previous poster mentioned, I too have a pen addiction. Can never have enough!
Elvis songs – many favorites, but the first one thought of was “Blue Suede Shoes”.
I love so many of Elvis’ songs, but my fav is “Teddy Bear”.
Thank you, thank you very much!!
Love your pens and your video’s My favorite song is Jail House Rock
Love me tender I would have to say would be my favorite.
If I had to pick one it would be Return to Sender. That was the first 45 I bought. Boy I am old. I love your pen and would feel lucky to receive one. Wish me luck. Shirley
Great idea, Dawn, to spiral wrap the pens! My favorite Elvis song is Wise Men Say Only Fools Fall in Love–at least I think that’s the name of it. I was in 4th or 5th grade when Elvis became popular. Yes, I’m an older baby boomer!
I have always loved Elvis and even waited in line for 14 hours once to get tickets to his concert. All of his songs were great, but I loved Suspicions, In the Ghetto, so many and his Gospel songs give me chill bumps especially How Great Thou Art, Thanks for sharing.
LOVE the pens! I Loooooooove Elvis, too! I was on a huge Elvis kick when I was younger and was even able to go visit Graceland. My favorite song is “Don’t Be Cruel”. It’s a real toe-tapper. 🙂
Dawn, thanks for sharing your talent w/us. You have such great ideas.
My favorite Elvis song–that’s a tough one. It would be a toss-up between All Shook Up & Teddy Bear. He’s still the King!!!
I like Love Me Tender. I think that was the sweetest song.
I love all your work and your videos. They are great.
You are soooo darn clever, girl! My fav Elvis song is All Shook Up.
Hi Dawn,
I love your blog! Your creations are so fun and fresh. My favorite Elvis song is Jail House Rock. When I was a kid, I loved watching all of his movies.
malieta:)
p.s. Thank you for sharing the awesome video.
Well, since I live about 30 minutes from Graceland, it’s safe to say that I love all Elvis music but one that I love to listen to every year is Blue Christmas.
Thanks for a chance at the blog candy.
Joanne (tojoco)
My favorite Elvis song is Love me Tender…don’t know why…just love his deep voice.
My favorite Elivs song is Jail House Rock. I love the beat for dancing! 🙂
I Think I will have to go with All Shook Up!!!
Thanks so much for your daily posts !!!
Patti
Dawn, I love your tutorials you are so talented. I like your beaded pen. You really make it look so easy. Keep up the good work. I’m sure you help a lot of people.
Thanks Penny
Dawn,
These are just great. You have such wonderful ideas. I wish I had such creativity. At this point its all drained from buying the house. I would have to say my favorite Elvis sound is Hound Dog. There is juts something about the voice that makes that song.

I love all of your videos. I just watched the Tart & Tangy accordion card video and I’m off to make it after I watch the beaded pen video. Thanks for all your hard work.
I think favorite would have to be Return To Sender.
