enJOY it

an archived personal and craft blog from Elise Blaha Cripe.

I am embarking on a mission to clean out my craft area and it looks like I have a big box of NEW paper and letter stickers and rubons and ribbons and stamps and everything to give away. Leave a comment with your plans for the weekend and I will randomly pick a name tomorrow morning.
Happy Friday!

    Tonight I have plans to go out and celebrate my first full week of work 🙂 I have been telling myself “I can do this” and it has worked lol
    Tomorrow I plan on cleaning up the boys room (not fun) and then working on some projects to list on my etsy shop. And Sunday will be spent with the kids maybe going up the the bike trail or maybe the track. I know I will have my camera handy for either one because if I don’t I am sure to miss something beautiful and exciting.
    Have an awesome weekend and thank you for the inspiration. (I’m working on getting caught up on the Paper08 challenges)!!!

    Today I’m headed to the Great American Scrapbook Convention to see what’s up up there. Some cooking, some laundry, some organizing and rearranging, and a Nationals game with friends tomorrow. 🙂
    And if I win you won’t even have to pay for shipping! I’ve been looking for an excuse to head to PS anyway. 🙂

    Hmm… my plans are to scrap something, anything. I’m in a “dry” period and haven’t made much in a long time. Maybe I’ll just work in my journal, even that will do right now. Apart from that I’m going to continue reading my book, “The Emperor’s Children” by Clare Messud, which is really great, and I want to see “Happy-go-Lucky” in the cinema, because I heard it’s really good! Have a great weekend!:)

    I’ve got a busy weekend planned! I’m volunteering for the Race for the Cure in the morning (6 am – yikes!) then participating in it … and then volunteering for a race that raises money for suicide prevention. And that’s just Saturday!! 🙂 Hoping to get some cleaning and scrapping done on Sunday, too.
    Happy cleaning!

    What am I doing. Well, I have a fairly full schedule. I am going to a Twins Game at the Dome tonight with my little sister and some of her co-workers and my cousin. Should be a fun night. We are in the home run porch. I hope to get a ball. 🙂
    I have a family wedding tomorrow. I love weddings so this should be a blast. I can’t wait. Which means I’m going to go shopping tonight to try and find something to wear. I am never happy with my current stash of clothing. None of it seems very wedding-appropriate. 🙂
    Sunday, weed my garden and do some odds and ends.
    I hope you have a good weekend!
