an archived personal and craft blog from Elise Blaha Cripe.
I am watching the US women's gymnastic Olympic trials. And I am already starting to cry and stand up and clap out loud. I cannot watch gymnastics with out remembering 1996 when the Magnificent Seven reigned supreme. I wanted to be Kerri Strug. Or at least put her in my pocket.
Oh, hooray for Olympic season.
I am so happy there is someone else out there who loves the magnificent seven as much as I did. I got to see them tour right after the olympics and Dominique Dawes waved at me and it made my year. Sorry this made me very nostalgic (sp?).
Once again I love your blog and all of your creative endeavors. It is very inspiring!

Oh yeah, I love watching Gymnastics too. It’s friggin’ awesome! I remember them. How Kerri hurt her ankle or foot or something on the horse and then focused through the pain to get a better score. It was awesome!

I was OBSESSED with the Magnificent Seven. I was glued to the TV…and it was really before the internet spoiled everything and announced who won before tape delays 😉
Dominique Moceanu just had a baby recently! I’m like, nooo she’s 14 and the YOUNGEST member of the MAG 7!!!
Gymnastics is my favorite olympic sport, still! I can’t wait!
