an archived personal and craft blog from Elise Blaha Cripe.
Thank you for following along in this space. My blog turned EIGHT on Christmas Day. That's eight years of memories and photos and thoughts and stories. After millions of words, and nearly 3000 published posts, it's still an honor and a joy to write here. I appreciate so much that you drop by to see what I have to say.
I have a feeling 2014 is going to be excellent. Not likely mellow, but excellent for sure. I'm all in.
Happy New Year, friends.
Happy new year. 🙂 Congratulations on 8 years of blogging.

Congratulations on your 8 years blogging and to think I was reading your blog when you were planning your wedding which seems like a long time ago now. Not even sure where I found your blog but I would have a guess that it was via Ali Edwards blog and so glad I did. You are an inspiration to so many and your blog is always on my list first thing each morning. Happy New Year to you Paul and your beautiful baby. Regards Kathy A,? Brisbane, Australia

Elise, I am new to your blog, but love it and am inspired every day by your posts. I am a fellow project lifer, and picture lover. I am taking on “One Little Word” this year. My word is embrace. I had quite a challenging year last year and am going to try to embrace what comes this year. Continue to do what you do. I thoroughly enjoy reading your blog (and seeing your darling girl).

(PS. About the letters to Ellerie being “too personal” as someone commented….they are great. You are living and writing about that experience. Keep it up!)

Blogging for 8 years in 1 place is legitimately impressive. I wish I had the courage to just keep at it in 1 place, but I’ve probably had 6 or more blogs over the last 10 years. Congrats!
