enJOY it

an archived personal and craft blog from Elise Blaha Cripe.

thanks!

Thank you for your sweet words on our wedding photos for the past few days. I loved seeing the pictures and I'm glad I got my memories of the day down "on paper." I think I will be making a book through Blurb of our photos. I hope to get that started in early June.

I can't thank Lisa and Geoff enough. They are such great people and photographers. Take a look at Lisa's post about the wedding.

Today we are moving in to our new apartment! We signed a lease on a great place on Thursday. Our stuff from Maryland arrives on Monday so we are going to camp out on the carpet for the next few days. I'll be sharing photos as we start getting settled.

I'm totally excited about it. And I'm so excited about the neighborhood we'll be living in. 

Good stuff. Happy weekend!

    I’ve so enjoyed seeing all the photos and reading the beautiful story of your wedding day! You both looked SO happy. And you looked absolutely stunning! (Talking of which, I spy a VERY handsome groomsman…the one with the very dark hair 😉 ) Hope you’re enjoying married life and good luck with moving into your new place!

    Your photos are so beautiful. My favourite is Paul’s arms around you – the close up. So beautiful.
    Thank you for sharing your special day with us.

    Thanks for sharing your photos.
    Other than the book you plan to make on Blurb, will the photographer be making a Wedding Album for you? Not sure how couples do albums these days.
    All the photos are neat, but I especially like the one of your engagement ring on the heel of your shoe, very creative idea.
    My first visit to a Paper Source store yesterday @ Reston Town Center. Wow, a paper lovers dream store!

    Our photographer offers album services, but as making books is my favorite part of anything, I decided to do mine myself. I am glad you liked Paper Source – I helped set the Reston store a year and a half ago and love that store.

    So, I waited to comment until the end…I absolutely loved getting a sneak peek into the wedding and loved getting to see how all of the details came together in the end. I was in awe with how at ease you seemed with all of it. You did such a fantastic job (did it EVER stress you at all?!?!)…you will forever be so glad that you personalized it the way you did. Everything and everyone looked fabulous! Your dress could not have been more perfect or flattering; you looked gorgeous! Thanks for sharing all the shots – so fun, so fun, so fun! Wishing you an equally fabulous marriage! Good luck in your new location…. 🙂

    Curious if you’ve thought about sharing your wedding details on one of the wedding and/or Paper Source blogs? I keep thinking I’ll see it pop up on Green Wedding Shoes or PS any day now 🙂

    thank you so much! I found that I only stressed when I wasnt in control – I think thats why I decided to do so much of it myself. It was easier! 🙂
