Waiting {on fall}

I was so happy for summer to be here but right now, I can't wait for it to be gone. Don't get the wrong idea summer...I still love you, but I am ready to move on!!!

My memories of this summer are filled with long days in the backyard, playing with our new little pups and this guy, playing on the beach and getting wet by the waves, and enjoying vacation away from work with my Jeremy!

I hope you all are having a great labor day! We are celebrating the day at a cookout with family. I made a lovely cake to bring with us and I think it was a hit!

Well, gotta get back to the fun! I start my new job tomorrow! Everyone keep your fingers crossed for me that I like it and it goes well! And if you get a moment, visit my friend Lisa's blog and leave her some love! She goes in for surgery tomorrow!!

8lbs (and stuff)

This week I lost 8 lbs!!!

I am really excited to share that with you guys, because it has been a rough week. I only got to exercise 1 time this week due to my work schedule and I am hoping that this coming week I will get to do it more.

I'd love to go into what I think made me get started last week and keep me eating right for an entire week, but you'd think I was crazy and you would seriously question my eating habits...LOL...all I can share is that last week at this very time I was walking around the local mall. This is something I do rarely because I really have become someone who didn't go to the mall due to all of the walking and not feeling good about my self. But last Sunday I walked around without a care in the world and I felt good about my body image. I like that feeling!

My body is all mixed up I think. I sometimes have a hard time sleeping (I think everyone does sometimes) but these past few days I think my body has been in shock from the lack of carbs and the increase of fruits and lettuce!! I haven't slept really well in three days and last night I finally took something and got some really good sleep. I was sooo sleepy yesterday that I fell asleep in the sun for 1 hour!! Thank goodness that I had some sunscreen on or it would have been a worse story! I only have a little bit if red!

In other news....next week is my one year bloversary. Keep checking my blog for new posts and I will pull a name from those who comment on any of the next weeks posts for a chance to win a prize!!

9 HOURS!!!!!

Got back from the best class ever just a few minutes ago. 9 hours of inking/painting/creating taught by this talented woman! That's for another awesome class Jen!!

I'll show you what we made as soon as I recover.

I think they are permanently stained from all the distressing inks, paint daubers, alcohol inks and the color wash. (Damn my hands look old...it's all the hand washing at work I think)

Hope everyone had a good Saturday! I'm gonna try and do the Weekend Creative tomorrow and get my picture posted for Overlooked Subject 3.

Hugs and Happy Weekend!!
Heather

I ::heart:: three columns!!

I finally did it! More to come! Still trying to find a look to love! I'm gonna have to start from scratch I think to be able to get it.

Craft of the Day

Wanted to share something today that I actually found weeks ago. While searching on the Martha Stewart site looking for valentine and spring crafts and I found the Craft of the Day. There are some really cute ideas here...here are a few that I like... this, this, this, and this one that also makes a great gift idea.

I am excited about tomorrow....I am spending the whole day at a class called "The Ranger Extravaganza"!! 7 hours of nothing but Ranger products and how to use them to do some amazing things. I signed up for this class in December and I have really been looking forward to it.

More again really soon!
