Summer books and a few new stamps are now listed in the shop! Get them now if you're interested. I will be closing shop at the end of May for my maternity leave. Not sure yet when things will re-open, but my guess is mid-August. 

Rough start this week, but solid finish. We finally bought a dining table. We've been debating pros and cons about this purchase for over two months. We were settled on one, and then at the last second, went with something completely different. This was the last BIG purchase (except dining chairs!) that I was hoping to make before the baby arrived. Once it gets here, and a few final adjustments are made, I think I'll call the decorating suspended while we soak up every second of summer and the newborn phase. (Summer and a newborn baby!?! My two favorite things combined!) Looking forward to sharing the big picture of how this house has shaped up at the end of the month. Spoiler alert : I love where it's headed.

I am off to a wedding in Scottsdale, Arizona this weekend. My last pre-baby adventure. A solo babymoon, if you will. I'm going to be a 34.5 week pregnant bridesmaid and thanks to an alterations miracle, my dress fits. So looking forward to seeing my college girlfriends and soaking up some sunshine.

Have a great weekend.

My name is Elise Blaha Cripe. I live in Northern California with my husband and our two daughters.

I make stuff like it's my job.

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[@]elisejoy.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.
