    Catching up

    Monday, December 1, 2008, 08:09 PM EST [General]

    Alright, obviously it's been forever since I've been on but I'm doing my best to keep up and catch up.  So here's a tiny update:

    We just took our house off the market after 9 months of unsuccessfully trying to sell it.  Don't get me started.  My oldest is doing great in Kindergarten, my youngest just cut a second tooth.  She's also eating some baby food, drinking water from a cup and loves to stand (with help).  She still wakes up during the night to eat but I'm hoping that now that she's learning to crawl that will phase out. 

    I've just recently become a creative consultant for Close To My Heart.  If you need anything feel free to ask, I'm all about helping!  Plus I love the products so I always enjoy sharing ideas.  I had a craft booth at our local Christmas festival and although it was not the raging success I'd hope it would be I refuse to fail at this.  I'll try to post photos soon of both the booth and the products we made. 

    And on the fitness front I'm still working off the pregnancy weight.  It's not big deal to be this far post partum and still have excess weight.  I expect it will drop off once I finish nursing but in the mean time I'm working out & eating well and I know I'm getting healthier everyday despite what the scale says. 

    Like I said, I'll try to get back with those photos soon!

    Confessions from a QuicKutz Addict

    Tuesday, August 26, 2008, 05:13 PM EST [General]

    So I recently bought a Revolution and the extender platform and swore I wouldn't buy anything else for a while.  But then they went and clearances a whole slew of things.  I'd be lying if I said I wasn't tempted and at 50% off I couldn't resist.  I even bought something as a Christmas gift.  But I knew that all this clearanc-ing (that a word?) meant BIG things were coming.  And sure as day dawns...well everyday there's tons of new stuff.  Not only that but I just got a sneak peak at this month's release and for the first time I can honestly say that I want EVERY die in the batch!  Now, I know I'm getting 2 dies as part of my Klub QK membership, but I don't know which two.  I wish I knew because when they get to my LSS I want to get as many as I can get my grubby little fingers on! 

    Oh, did I say they are kitchen items?  Wholy chocolate chips Batman!  I know DD #1 is going to go nutty when she sees them.

    Becky, Yes, I am thrilled. I was so excited when I found out that I had to call everyone and tell them.

    Hi Becky - thanks for the "gush" - it totally made my day! Sometimes when blogging you feel like you are talking to yourself. I cannot wait to see what you make with your new star stamps - got to love that you are trying new things! Sometimes you want to stay in the comfort zone and some times you are ready to push past it - great to see you are pushing yourself! Good luck and remember if it does't turn out exactly "right" then take it as a lesson learned and not a "waste". You would be surprised what you learn from "mistakes". :)
