an archived personal and craft blog from Elise Blaha Cripe.
Hello November!
Paul and I went to Ikea for some new organizational pieces this morning and I am now embarking on an intense cleaning and organizing frenzy. I have oodles of perfectly fantastic scrapbook paper and embellishments to give away. To sweeten the deal, I will toss in some letterpress prints and misprints for the lucky winner.
Leave a comment on this post with your name and favorite candy by Monday evening if you are interested in a box of paper fun.
Hi Elise!
My name is Marina (duh) and my favorite candy is either Jr. Mints, Twix (2 for me none for you) or Mounds (screw almond joy).
Hope you had a happy Halloween! I’m here in Gold River, and let me tell you how LAME it was last night, trick-or-treaters wise. Was it just me or did Gold River used to be a HAPPENING place on halloween? I was quite disappointed. Anyway, take care!

Hi Elise, I’m Jennifer, long-time reader grateful for all the inspiration. Being Belgian, it’s got to be chocolate pralines – but only the proper kind you get from the baker’s all wrapped up in the pretty ribboned box and sometimes even have to keep in the fridge. Happily pay for postage – might even send some chocolates in return!

Hmmmmm….this is a tough one for me. I’ll go with Tootsie Rolls, but they have to be fresh. If they’re even a little bit old, you can lose a filling.
Thanks for being so generous 🙂

Hi Elise,
First of all I need to say that I miss your videos. Then I have to tell you that I am extremely lactose intolerant so most chocolate is out. Mounds is one of the few I can have. My favorite non-chocolate candy is candy corn mixed with peanuts.
Would love to win some of your lovely stuff. *-)
