Hi friends!  My name is Elisa, and I have a life-long love for school supplies and all things crafty.  From being a little girl who filled her caboodles with sequins, beads, and art supplies, to the crafty classroom teacher always making her own visuals, and now as a mom with a passion for journaling, creating, and organizing, I take every chance I can to play with creativity in my day.  Born and raised in Texas, you’ll hear me use the word “ya’ll”, but I’ve never owned an authentic pair of cowboy boots.  I currently live in Virginia with my husband, daughter, and twin sons.

I began “The Scrappy Wife” blog and YouTube channel in 2019 as an outlet to share my creativity with others.  It is one of my core beliefs that each person is inherently creative.  Embracing our creativity is the key to unlocking a part of ourselves that is truly special and unique! My sincere hope is that through my videos, blog, and products, you are inspired on your creative journey.
