Time for a little pampering!

Yes! I finally made it to 175 pounds this morning, so I am treating myself to a much needed pedicure this weekend. I have not weighed this low since about the 5th month of my pregnancy-back in 2007! Only 10-12 more pounds to go until I am at my pre-pregnancy weight. Next time around I will not be so careless and get the weight off in the first year. Trying to lose it all three years later is for the birds!

Easter bags for Gabe's teachers

I found this template in one of my mom's books, and decided to try it out for Gabe's teachers at school. This is so easy, and so cute. You could make these bags about a million different ways.

Seriously, these are my 2 favorites!

I am getting better about using techniques, and what a difference they make! I love the sponging technique around the egdges, and I am finally remembering to use my ribbon for some pretty embellishments. These are both birthday cards-

Weigh in

Today's weight is 177.0, which I am counting as a weight loss from the last time I weighed at home (177.6). That 176.2 was the doctor's scale, which apparently is a better reading than mine! Still, I am only counting what my scale says. Unfortunately, no pedicure this week!

Cards, cards, and more cards

I promise I will get back to my regular blogs as soon as this crazy week of school is over. I have everything due this Friday before spring break, so I am going to concentrate on my library blog and other school assignments this week. Check it out if you have time and contribute any thoughts or questions. This is really a fictional blog, but you will get the idea. It is the Lost in the Library blog under my profile.

Anyway, I did manage to make two cards over the weekend. One birthday, one Easter?

What am I going to do for spring break, you ask? Make cards, cards, and more cards! It is such a great stress reliever!
