enJOY it

an archived personal and craft blog from Elise Blaha Cripe.

I woke up at 6:00 this morning. Too many thoughts in my head. I cannot determine if eventually my head will explode, or if everything will just leak out like a helium balloon.

1. I have decided after looking at the seven million amazing 2008 calendars to make my own. It will not be letterpressed of course, but I think, after tossing and turning, that I have come up with a good plan. It involves the typewriter. And clear embossing powder.

2. The clear embossing powder made me think of a greeting card plan. If I can make the idea in my head appear on paper it will be fantastic.

3. Yesterday I walked by Gap and saw their Christmas window display. Huge balls of yarn acting as ornaments. I wanted to make that happen. So after Paul and I went (at 8am) to Target to pick up Rock Band, we stopped at AC Moore for yarn and foam balls. So by 9:00 one of my ideas was realized.

Work tonight, Work tomorrow and then three days off to make stuff and eat stuff and breathe.
