Win It: enjoy design.


Elise Blaha, of enJOY it, creates some of the most creative, awe-inspiring scrapbooks I’ve ever seen. The trick – as far as I can tell – is to use little bits and pieces of everything. Postcards, magazine clippings, cool papers… everything. And my word, this girl good at getting the perfect combination of it all put together just so.

This week the lovely and talented Elise is giving away a story to the stars handbound journal from her shop, enjoy design, to one lucky reader! The front of the book reads “she told her story to the stars” while the back follows up with “& the stars listened.”

To Enter:
1. Tell me who would play you if your story were turned into a movie?
2. Leave me your email address (those who do not will be disqualified)
3. Do it all before Monday, September 14th at 9am CST

Pocket Workbooks.

I’m in full back-to-school mode, sans classes and kiddos. When August rolls around my focus is on one thing: school supplies! I’m a nut for them. I stalk the aisles at the big box stores looking for notebooks to last me through the coming year. And while I normally end up with the 5 Star brand for their durability, I’m loving the more handcrafted ones that are popping up everywhere. These Pocket Workbooks from dozi really caught my eye.
