Surprise....

It is Saturday and I am posting!! WhooHooooo!! It must be something major good right?!?!?!

Well it is! You know How much I like to shop - RIGHT!! And even more - how much I love a deal...... wellllllll......

One of the awesome scrappers I know Amber (she use to work at our LSS which I miss sooo much) is cleaning her scrapping space - so she has raided her stash and has decided to make kits which she is going to sale on her blog!!!

This is what she said about her kits: "Each kit contains at least $30 worth of product!! Each kit has a FULL Thickers sticker sheet, Rubons, and most have at least one stamp included. Most have matching ribbon and flowers as well!!"

So make sure you check out Amber's blog this weekend (I think that is when she is going to post the kits!!) and if you buy anything - make sure you tell her "Lori at Beloved Keepsakes" sent ya!

Happy Shopping!

Until Next Time!

What have you done???

So I was in Lowe's the other day (ahhh I have such a new appreciation for that place since driving the number 48 car!!! Bahaahaha)... anyway I had gone there because I had read on one of the forums that they had "Wall Pops" in the clearance section.

For those of you that don't know - "Wall Pops" are these packages of wall vinyl that come in 13 x 13 in squares. They are normally $9.99 for a pack of 5 sheets - but they are clearance down to $3 a pack. So you know I had to pick up a few...... (ok ok I picked up more than a few - but hey I needed some color varitey!! LOL)


So my question is - "What have you done with vinyl?" I want to go something really cool (maybe for next Christmas) with the Wall Pops but I don't know what!!! I would love to see what you have done with vinyl or hear what you would like to do with it... so come - help give me some ideas!!!!

The only thing I have ever done with vinyl before is the wording on my scrapbooking wall.....


So please let me know what you have done or are planning on doing with vinyl! Make sure you take some time out this weekend for you..... and I'll catch ya on Monday!

Until Next Time!

Late post...

Oopppsss - I am soo sorry for the late post today... but I went to the Dr this morning and then ran some errands and then I had an email from Renae asking me to design a 3D Mailbox for her... you know like the big blue mailbox at the Post Office......

I have to tell you this was a challenge as I have never designed any 3d items... but dang if it wasn't kind of fun! But I do have to admit that it took up most of my afternoon designing..... I plan to do a coordinating file to go with it for the "decorations" but here is what I have come up with so far.......

So what do you think???

Well I went to see my Dr today - about the whole WEIGHT thing.... and I have to say I just love her - she is sooo awesome!! She confirmed that I was doing the right things (oh and for the record in order to lose weight they tell you need to eat between 1000 and 1200 calories a day -so my 1100 calories is right on target!!!)... and that she thought that there was a few other things I could be doing as well..... she gave me an appetite suppressant to help me get over my "stress" eating (I will only take that for 8 to 10 weeks max).... and then she said that I was an apple.

I looked at her like she was crazy!!!! A what???? I guess my body type is an "apple" since I carry all my weight in between my boobs and my lower tummy!! I had to laugh.... I had never been called an "apple" before and all I could think about was the fruit of the loom guys...... Bahahahahaha


Anyway - due to the fact that I am an "apple" she said that they have determined that most apples have an insulin problem - that I am NOT diabetic... but more than likely my body isn't responding to my insulin correctly. So she gave me another medication to take at night that would stabilize my insulin and kick start my metabolic system. I am suppose to take it night right before going to bed...

So we will see.... I have to go back and see her in a month.... crossing my fingers and saying my prayers here!!

Well that's it for today... no more talk about weight until NEXT Wed when I give my weigh in and progress report.... (Are you sighing relief???!!!) I do want to thank all of you that commented and are on the bandwagon with me.... it truly helps to know that I am not alone and that you guys will help keep me accountable (hey I WANT to learn to Kite Surf and I know you guys want to see those photos - right?!?!? LOL)

All righty - I am off to take a bath and watch a little TV.

Until Next Time!
