Site Update!

Whew! Spent a while fixing the site to have some links and info about me! Some comments about what I am reading:

Dreams Made Flesh: Love the Jewels Trilogy and this was an OUTSTANDING followup. In particular loved the story on Lucian and the wrap up to Janelle's story. Sigh, I can only hope she does some more!

Maximum Ride: Well I have never read anything by this author before but he is real big on thrillers or mysteries and not on children's/teen books. I didn't know this when I had bought it and I LOVE the cover which I kept picking up in the bookstores. The story had a few holes in it but over all a good book. I wouldn't have bought it in hardback though, should have waited! Also checked out Amazon comments and many said a repeat of previous book he had written. Not sure if I should check it out.

Beyond the Pale: A lot of vampire romances lately. This one was more of an action thriller than romance which is fine but found in the romance section of bookstore. Loved the unique twist on Vampires will have to see if future books are good. I liked the book. It wasn't outstanding but I liked it.

The others I am still reading! I read a LOT of books and this is where most of my money goes no joke! Now that I have a new car no money for books! I probably could read 5 books a week if I found interesting books to read. However I am very finicky and I have bought books I haven't even cracked open *GASP*! Well now's the time to bust the books out!

Talk to ya later~

My exercise plan. Posted by Picasa

I started exercising again and hope to follow this plan. I use Walk Away the Pounds by Leslie Sansone and after 1 month I will add The Firm back into my routing (started this about 1 year ago and then stopped since I wasn't losing any weight).

My inspiration for starting the WLC. Posted by Picasa

This one I have really been meaning to do for a while. With the deaths of my Mom and brother I was really determined to get healthy and be more fit as well as eat right. I started the South Beach Diet and lost 20 pounds. I stopped eating so healthy for about 2 months and I have started to focus again on my eating habits. I gained 5 pounds then lost 2 more!

See Ya!

This is the HOPEfully final copy of my kit! Now I just need to figure out how to zip and upload it. Posted by Picasa

I have gotten a lot of good compliments about this kit. It is my second kit and I think I have improved alot since the Blue Bonnet kit. I noticed that the colors are very similar too! I am having difficulty figuring out how to zip this small enough to post to SBB! My most plain paper with texture is too big to post there. I may have to just yousendit to the EKG subscribers and Scrapbook Anon group. If anyone knows how to help please post a message!

Talk to ya later!

Girl Scout Kit Elements

These were very easy to make. I think that is due to they were the first kind of elements I learned how to make which made it easier each time.

G.S. Kit Patches

These patches took a long time because I hand did the stitches one at a time with a brush. Very time consuming but I love how it turned out! Again I had a G.S logo on the white patch I took off.

G.S. Kit Patterned Papers

These are my patterned papers. The stripe one I had to change. Where the tan was I had a column of the logo.

This is my new kit I am making. There was an issue with copyright that I hope I have solved by not having my logo paper and the logo on the tag. There seems to be alot of people who are interested so I am very excited!
