enJOY it

an archived personal and craft blog from Elise Blaha Cripe.

I always :

+ cut my apples into slices.
+ end up putting my hair up by noon.
+ go decaf after lunchtime.
+ am inspired by a visit to anthropologie.
+ put things in my online shopping cart.
+ mentally break my commute home into more manageable sections.
+ wish for less clutter.
+ get my breaking news from twitter.

I sometimes :

+ actually purchase the items in my shopping cart.
+ count my steps in walks from place to place.
+ go overboard with the windex.
+ panic that eventually it will be winter again.
+ don't have my camera when the perfect photo presents itself.
+ think I would get by just fine without a tv.
+ think I would be crazy to get rid of the tv.

I never :

+ want to go to bed angry.
+ like checking phone messages (if it's really important, they'll email. ha!)
+ will get tired of graph paper.
+ go outside without face sunscreen.
+ worry about the future of e&p.
+ am without a to-do list.
+ want to take off my white canvas toms (unless it's to put on my sparkly silver ones.)

(via oh, hello friend.)

Have a great Friday! I am making books and then seeing Harry again. Funtimes.

ETA : last day to get a free gift with shop orders over $25 before shipping! There are a few big mixed paper books left!

    hi elise,
    I’ve been enjoying your blog for about 6months now and when I came across this video, it made me think of you and your wedding plans. Maybe you need to incorporate something similar into your big day? 🙂

    I love your list! I got the idea from Jodified, and followed her idea to yours. Now I’ve done one. Funny how these things travel.
