an archived personal and craft blog from Elise Blaha Cripe.
The word "journal" is sort of inaccurate. I don't use books to track daily stories (that's what the blog and twitter are for) but instead they hold sketches and to do lists and ideas. I love filling one up and starting all over again. You can order a handmade journal, customized just for you, here.
love the vellum envelope in the cover for extras like stamps! but you inscribed it with ejb – does that mean you’re planning on keeping the butterfly flying or filling up the book by april?

Love it! I think I want to make one of these! I really love the graph paper inside…or at least it looks like graph paper on my phone!
Re: Jumping in on last names…I have a pretty ridiculous hyphen. For military purposes it’s way easier to have a form of his name. For me, since I joined the Navy as Shermer it was just easier to tack his on since that’s what I was known as.
