Can Someone ID This Tree For Me?

I got it from a friend at my bonsai meeting. I was so pleased I actually forgot to ask what kind it is. It has little sawtooth edged leaves.

Thanks if you can. (pic attached)

It could be a chinese elm, which is common in bonsai use. Post some more pix, in focus if you can pootsie __________________ p.s. My cat is a bonsaiTALK Master. Columbus Bonsai Society

I work for a nursery but I'm not there very much because of being out on jobs, but if I can remember tommorrow I will take my camera with me to work.
