enJOY it

an archived personal and craft blog from Elise Blaha Cripe.

she shared.

A few weeks ago, I set out to make a layout based the words "When she thought about it, her life was the opposite than planned while at the same time perfect." (Yes, in retrospect, I realize this is not a very grammatically correct sentence but a GREAT thought.) But then the idea grew into my favorite mini album of all time. It may have been all the Hambly.
