my favorite family portrait gets framed.

I am in the market for some big art to cover the walls of our new place. It's mostly going to be a mix of DIY (like this) and some prints I bought recently from 20x200. However, I want to toss a few photos on the walls too. I joked awhile back about hanging this photo above our mantle. That might be where it ends up.

I think this is one of those images where the bigger, the better. I uploaded the black and white image to officedepot.com and printed it at 24x36. I paid online and then picked up in store in about an hour. It was printed on regular copy paper, but it was THREE DOLLARS. Three bucks for big art. I framed it with an Ikea frame & mat and ta-da : an awesome family photo in a super big size.

I love it.

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.
