enJOY it

an archived personal and craft blog from Elise Blaha Cripe.

Back in February, I made a list of 25 things to do while 25. Now it's June, and I really have to get going if I want to get through everything. So far, I've got three items checked off.

I am making a 6×6 scrapbook to "save" the photos and thoughts that go with each item. The book is far from completed, but you can see the pages that correspond to the first few tasks (#4 sew something, #5 plant something, #8 use film). I hope to share my progress every few months. If I keep at it, this will be a very thick book.

    Hey Elise – LOVE this project. Thanks for sharing your progress and minibook. You inspired me back in November to create a 34 at 34 list. Here’s a link to my progress 🙂

    Oooh…I love this! I’m working on a birthday to-do list too and I haven’t been inspired yet to make a book. I love the yellow color so much I just might have to make mine yellow, too! 🙂

    I think its adorable you are able to keep track of your life like this. When you are older (or your children are) you all will look back on these and treasure them. how wonderful.

    it’s funny as I’m reading this post b/c my best friend reminded me my birthday is coming up the end of this month–the Big 2-5… & I about dropped my jaw as I realized this is my last year of feeling young. W/ this said, I have been brainstorming on how to make it count, & this idea is SUCH a good one for me, as I give myself a million honey-do projects. Thanks for the creative idea! Now I don’t feel so lost in my last hoo-rah!
