Happy Wednesday.

Our families are coming into town tonight and tomorrow morning to celebrate Thanksgiving. I am so thrilled that we get to host this year and will be signing off the Internet (except my beloved Instagram) for the next few days to prepare and then enjoy my favorite holiday. On my to-do list today : make a cheesecake, set the table and bar & clean the bathrooms entire house.

I am thankful this year that Paul is home safe from Afghanistan. I am thankful that we live in a townhouse we love with enough space to seat eight comfortably around the table. I am thankful for our parents and siblings who are making the drive to fill our table. I am thankful for the opportunities I have been blessed with this past year and for how good 2012 has been to our tiny family. I am thankful for this space that waits patiently for me to fill it up with thoughts and photos and stories and craft projects each day.

If you're celebrating, have a wonderful Thanksgiving. And if not, I wish you a wonderful four days to hopefully take things slow.

anticipating product questions... tablecloth, trophy vase & gold triangle candle holders from Target, clear taper candle holders from CB2, wooden candleholders from Peg & Awl, fantastic cream tapers from Trader Joes ($2.99 for 8!)

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. 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.
