Yay for beautiful weather! Yay for tube off-peak hours! Yay for good maps! Double yay for two pairs of new adorable shoes! We are sitting in an internet cafe in Oxford Circus. Today is about shopping. As I feel most days will be. We went to Harrods and Harvey Nichols. I decided most definitely to…

Oh yeah, London, Baby. We made it. We did not sleep on the flight. Because that would have been way to simple. And then we took the Underground. And got off at Green Park. And had lunch at Henry’s. And then we walked to Lancaster Gate. And it was raining. And oh, yeah, we had…

Thank you for the encouragement to bring a little bit warmer clothing. And an umbrella. I am shoving it all in there. But also praying for beautiful weather. It is so awesome to have friends from different countries, I wish I could visit with all of you. Next post from a foreign land, I promise.

Which is great. Because in this already packed bag, I have 7 dresses, 6 shorts, 2 skirts, 16 shirts, 1 pair of capris and two jeans. Plus 2 pairs of open toe pumps, 1 pair of flips and those backless-look-athletic-but-are-nothing-of-the-sort-shoes. None of it is waterproof. All of it is meant for 75 degree California weather.…

I am not talking about that 70s music funk. I mean the funk where you feel a little Blah. And not in the Blaha way, but the blaaaaaaaaaah way. Like the "I’ve got the blues" way. You know, the funk. Because yesterday I was in it. Like deep in it. Like put my head down…

The Office is the best show on television. And I know I am very late to make this statement. But I have no shame. Because better late than never. And I still have 13 episodes of season 2 to watch. Jim and Pam are my new McDreamy and Meredith.

I ride what we like to call the "Email Train" everyday. The constant stream of emails that come from my SC girls who are soon going to be spread out across the US. It is not our way of keeping in touch, but more our way of conversing. Because we emailed each other when we…

My name is Elise Blaha, and this is my morning: So. I have been home for 1.5 weeks. Minus a job. Plus a lot of time to make stuff. You would think I would be bored. Or would have bought out Target by now. But seriously? Not so bored. I am discovering an intense love…

To answer a few questions: That "Do Something Creative Every Day" stamp is from Paper Source. It is available here. The unmounted stamp in my Album on the Road kit is Paper Salon. It came in a tin with 8 other similar stamps. It is my favorite. That planner is made by Bob’s Your Uncle.…

Oh, yes. One week until the European Adventure. I am going to London, Amsterdam, Prague and Paris. I want to see someone royal, something crazy, a sign with "Blaha" on it and the Eiffel Tower. I know, I am so difficult to please. But it is going to be good. And so last night, in…
