enJOY it

an archived personal and craft blog from Elise Blaha Cripe.

around here : thinking about your suggestions. I have a big grid next to my computer and I'm jotting down thoughts based on your comments. A minibook workshop is starting to take shape. I'm shooting for early September.

around here : prepping for Paul's weekend away. He's headed up north for a bachelor party and I'm coming up with ideas for things to do in his absence. I think Renegade LA is on the agenda.

around here : starting on a honeymoon album.

around here : customizing guestbooks for upcoming weddings.

around here : watching 30 Rock like it's our job. We're about five years late to the party, but we're hooked. Alec Baldwin nails it. The whole cast nails it.

around here : preparing a "city mini book kit". They should be available by the end of the week.

around here : enjoying summer fruit by the bowl full.

around here : waiting for sunshine. We had a hint of the famous San Diego weather last weekend but it's back to the gray and the gloom. I told Paul we're destined to encounter weird weather where ever we're stationed.

around here : designing new custom posters based on an idea from Molly. Look for more information next week.

around here : busy is wonderful.

    I must say I HIGHLY recommend the custom guestbooks. I’m sure no one is surprised, but Elise was amazing to work with and our guestbook looks even better in person than in the photos!! 🙂

    have you seen this: http://themermaidsmercantile.blogspot.com/
    closer to you and from what I can tell it’s on the ‘last sunday of the month’ which I am guessing is this one since the next is august 1st. the whole street where this shop is like angels singing for girls (don’t bother to bring boys or kids along). I haven’t been to the mercantile, but it’s on my list…

    Ohhh a city mini book! Exciting! I am looking forward to that. Any day now I should be getting my Etsy stuff from you, YAY! I did like 30 Rock but Tracy Morgans character was getting on my nerves! Alec and Jack McB (plays Kenneth) crack me up each time though. Hey, how did the Snapfish mega order turn out?

    The weather isn’t that weird… usually June gloom only lasts through, well, June, but this year it has hung on a bit. August and September are usually the sunniest, warmest months here.
