: a sunflower complete WITH HONEYBEES that Paul and I found on our search for a new wine shop in Bethesda that turned out to be a real lame deal.

: my first layout made from the excellent Apple Blossom Studio stamps. I love shape stamps. I use 'em again and again and again. (Vern, you remember that night? We dressed up as crayons.)

Also of note

: If you ordered a kit or a print this weekend, it will be shipping out today. Thank you, thank you for the super quick response on this last update. I am planning to make more, (for sure more fairy tales ones) I just need a break in my schedule.

: Hooray for the Craft Olympics...still waiting for a project to be uploaded...

: I just ate the best pear on the planet.

: My voice is finally coming back after all the cheering at the television that occurred over the weekend.

: I have decided to write a book. I know...loftly goal...yada, yada, yada. But fact is, you can self publish so I am going to jump on that bandwagon. Expected release date is December. Expected amount of times I will give up and start over is 15.

: Today is Monday, August 18 - Let's roll.

My name is Elise Blaha Cripe. I live in San Diego, California with my husband and our two young daughters.

I make stuff like it's my job.

In 2015 I launched GET TO WORK BOOK®, a daily planner + goal-setting journal. In October 2019, my book about getting stuff done, Big Dreams, Daily Joys hit bookstores everywhere. For almost ten years, this blog was where I shared (daily!) general life musings, insight into being a small business owner and the occasional craft project. In 2021, I am sharing again as we prepare to move back home to Northern California and renovate our dream cottage. I have closed comments, but feel free to email me at elise[@]gettoworkbook.com if you have any questions about a post you see here.

If you're new here, I invite you to browse the archives, read my small business story or start with some of my favorite things to write about, DIY home decor & goal-setting. You can also listen to my motivational speech about the power of making bold statements.

Still looking for more content? Listen to my creative podcast, take one of my eCourses or subscribe to my newsletter.

Thank you so much for dropping by.
