my 16 year photo project.

IMG_6053

Sometimes (almost always) the simplest projects are my favorite ones. When I bought this frame for Ellerie's Santa photos, I bought a second one thinking I'd "need" it for something. It sat in my garage for over a year. In February, as part of my "I must clean out every inch of this house" madness, I decided to put it to use.

There are 16 holes and I am going to fill them with a 4x4 black and white photo of Ellerie every year for the next 14. I took these two photos with my iPhone on December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2014. From now on I'll be shooting for the end of each year (though I am not picky about the date). I love it's small and understated (no 8x10s or mats needed) but it's still a great record. I love the black and white (accomplished with the Afterlight and VSCO apps) too.

(Fake) mug shots for the win. GROWTH for the win.

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.
