enJOY it

an archived personal and craft blog from Elise Blaha Cripe.

Engaged

Edited to add: yes that is the ring, yes it is on my left hand. The photos are from my Mac and therefore backwards. Much more info to come + thank you for the well wishes. We are, of course, excited.

    another lurking reader here… wanting to say congratulations!! the “just engaged” feeling is so amazing + magical but fleeting. so savor it as long as you can… sneak glances at your new fiance, hold your ring up to the light and watch it sparkle.
