Good... Okay... AMAZING .. Valentine and Facebook News!

Good news is...

I STILL LOVE Weight Watchers ... are you kidding? 15.6 lbs lost !! I'm soooo loving this so far. I love how I feel. I love that I'm skinnier than my "skinny jeans". I can't remember if I mentioned that we got Planet Fitness memberships - but we did. $10 per month! I actually LIKE getting out of the house during the day (after daycare of course) and running .. it gives me a second wind - which I didn't really believe in before.. I also love that it's something "almost free" Jeff and I can do together at night after dinner. Don't get me wrong, I love being lazy and not doing anything too ;) I'm not completely changing who I am! Come on now!

The "Okay" news is ...

I'm going to be working on my Project Life catch up this weekend! Looking through all my pictures and deciding ordering ... maybe doing the journaling before I get the pics .. it's going to be a wild weekend friends ;)

The AMAZING news is ...

Becky Higgins HERSELF talked on Facebook about my blog and I got like a gillion hits...or 1,900 Are you serious? I was hyperventilating :) with excitement of course!!! Check it out!

The Valentine's Day news is ... 

I made this fun banner with all the kids names on it ... I totally stole someone's idea and then changed it .. but I still love it :) It's our little Valentine's Day decor and the kids love that each of their names is on it. In other Valentine's Day news ... Jeff and I have a date planned and I can't wait because we are going out for dinner, which we haven't been doing because of WW lately! I'm really looking forward to it.

The Facebook Page news is ...
I started a Facebook Page for my Jewelry Business! Feel free to like it ... I'm really excited about it :)

 

and that's a wrap ... for now ;)

Crafty Christmas Planner

Hey Guys!

Do you read the awesome stuff from the lovely ladies at eighteen25 ?
If not, you should.

That link is actually a link for a project they made recently with FREE printables which is super fun. I LOVE printables. They made an awesome Christmas Planner and the second I saw it, my mind said "MOM!"

For as long as I can remember, my mom keeps a list of the gifts she has gotten everyone so that #1 she doesn't forget anything and #2 to make sure that my sister and I have "a even present list". So I made this bad boy for her .. inspired by the one at eighteen25! (mine is slightly different in that I made her tabs "Calendar", "Tara & Jeff", "Emma & Jimmy", "Ron", and "Stockings & Other Gifts"

:) She has been using it, so I guess that means it's working pretty well for her!! Yay!)

Here's most of what I used:

• Composition notebook (size: 9 3/4 by 7 1/2)
• Some Christmas 12x12 pattern paper 
• Adhesive ( I think I'm going to redo the front cover with rubber cement)
• Paper cutter
• 2 -  6"x9" envelopes with clasps
• A stapler
• Pen

On the inside of the back binding, I have another envelope just like this one for receipts too.

Merry Early Christmas Shopping!
