Looky, looky, I got my SU Love you much set and I made my first card already.

My Valentines Card - Still on a binge.

I am still on a Valentines Card binge. This hobby is sooooo addicting! Gimmie more, gimmie more, gimmie more !!!! My Cousin Carrie in Dallas, (clhajnal) got me really hooked on this hobby! Below are the cards that I made this evening. I owe the inspiration to Lisa Lisa. See her card here. http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/photo/1200356

Things that I am up to.

What am I up to lately? Ummm. This is a journal to myself that I am really going to focus and knock off this 55lbs that I need to loose. I have always been a skinny kid and pretty much a skinny adult. I know I can get back to size 8; I know it, I know it, I know it. I am pushing a size 16 right now. But I fit it well ;-0 .........When I moved back to California (from Las Vegas) in 2005 for my job promotion/transfer I was 150lbs and a size 8. I was HOT !!!!!!!! ................So, I am not going to become a gym rat like I did, I am not going to count how many carrots that I ate like I did, I am not going to drink black coffee to supress my appetite like I did. I am simply going to do my aerobics, my cardio, and low-carb meals and that will knock off 20-30 lbs in a month. I have done it 2-3 times before. But, my goal is 15lbs off by February 10th. I am not going to overwork myself to 20-30lbs in 30-days. I am nearly 6feet tall, so the 15lbs will proably make me a size 14........I was 220lbs on Thursday , I weighed myself today (I shouldn't have) and I am 217........I have a treadmill in my living room and I have ExcerciseTV on demand................Ok, on my mark, get set, goooooooooooooooooooo.

Other things that I am up to, I am still on a card making binge, I am probably going to go back to school, I have my eyes on CTU - Colorado Tech University. It was Ashford but CTU includes books with tuition costs, and they will take my first degree in as a whole. Ashford takes 99 units, but all in all I think CTU is the best value because there is no way that I can afford ANY out of pocket expenses. I am a laid-off, unemployed, scrappin, cardmakin', loosing weight mama!

My Valentines Borders

Thank You Card

Thank You Card that I made for one of the swaps that I am participating in.

Better pics of the stamps that I got.

My new stamps got on clearance.

So, today I was messing with, trying to program my daughters new ZUNE, 3-hours later, got really irritated and gave up. I let my boyfriend take over. Urg! Technology.

I went to the grocery store and decided to stop by Michael's. Now I live in the bay area and we only have 2 stores near me; JoAnn's and Michael's. I've never really been a fan of Michael's because they are more pricey, but I stopped by anyways to "look".....Well! They have bins and bins of stamps, brads, sentiments, etc for 0.50cents and $1.00!!! I couldn't believe it! So, I budged in and bought some stamps for .50cents and $1.00. So here they are. Enjoy!
