enJOY it

an archived personal and craft blog from Elise Blaha Cripe.

A random act of kindness got me out of a tough spot tonight. I want to pass it on.

Leave a comment about something you are thankful for by midnight tomorrow night. I will draw names and the winner receives a Cool Present from me. I do not know what the Cool Present is yet. It will be catered to the winner. For example, if you are a scrapbooker, you get Paper Source goods. If you are one of my SC girls, you get a bottle of Jack. That sort of thing.

Have a good night.

    I am thankful for your blog…because it gets me out of some really bad jams when I am in a work rut… (I need to NOT look at numbers sometimes… I am a creative, not an analyzer)…. p.s. I work for jack in the box, which i know you don’t have… does that get me any brownie points or did i just screw myself?

    I am thankful for my boy with his freckles who loves the Red Sox and in his 9-year old life they have one 2 World Series, and I am thankful for my dancing girl, who has been twirling and dancing since the day she was born and who, at 11, still calls me mama. Now I have tears in my eyes!!

    I’m thankful for my family and how blessed we are to live so comfortably (compared to so many people around the world).
    As for a random act of kindness type of thankfulness. The most memories of that come from Hurricane Katrina. Many of my family and friends were deeply affected by the storm. During that time so many strangers reached out to them and helped them, even if it was just with words of support. It was pretty amazing.
    I’m scrappy. 😉

    I’m thankful for the internet.. for if we didn’t have it.. I wouldn’t see your blog everyday, and I wouldn’t be writing to you currently, and I wouldn’t be inspired by you. Heck I wouldn’t know you. I’m thankful everyday. THANKS for writing!
