Weight Loss

YEAH!!! It's offical. I have now lost a total of 48lbs. It feels good. Still much more to go, but going strong and steady. Okay strong, slow and steady. I have been at it for 11 months and held at 45lbs a couple of months. I didn't even put on any weight through Thanksgiving nor Christmas..I lost. I was astonished the way I craved and went after hot chocolate with whipping cream for a month. hehe So on goes the decent..............................

Time Goes By

Wow, I can't believe how fast time passes. I didn't realize my last post was so long ago. I spent this evening moving all of my digital layouts from another Blog Site. I also need to update the photos on my...UGH...Scrolling thing...I hate this Alzheimers Convention..LOL...

Let's see, All's good with the kids and g-babies. Except for Abigale. she is having asthma problems, but seems to be doing better with this new medication.

I have started doing a little better since I went back on my injections of Metheltrexate a week ago. Took me 3 weeks to get brave enough to use it again after the Pharmacist gave me expired meds. I have an appointment in San Fransisco to be seen at the Memory Clinic for a Okay my mind took leave again, but it's a specialist and they put you through tests, like verbal and visual, etc. and look through the brain scans.

Now for my main squeeze....No squeezn` there he hurts way to much. It's been a year and a half and comp is still denying him treatment and meds. We finally had to get an Attorney. The Dr. took him off work, comp forced him back and his employer took away his superviser position, cut his pay by $8 an hr and cut his hrs down to 4hrs a day. Now take that slap in the face for someone you have given 110% for for over 7yrs. Enough bad news.

I can't wait for Zoie to get here. I am so excited. And then I know Jess will also start feeling so much better. And over all God has been good to us. We have a roof over our head Still? and food to eat? We don't have our wishes, but our needs are fulfilled. And I am thankful.. My back is getting pretty tired so i have to end this post. Have an awesome night.

Easter Dirty

This is my only grandson, Skyler, who has a blast with the chocolate. I'm not to sure his mommy will every get him clean. It's going to be a big job.....

Gabbi Girl

Here is the final layout week 4 of Gabbi Girl. I love it all except for the 2 ribbons coming out of the of the top picture on the left. Week 3 added a different direction in color and layout, but I couldn't change my ribbon. Hope you like it.

Easter 09

This was a fun little sketch Challenge with "Pencil Line Scketches." Three of my 6 little grand children. Haley 8, Claire 6, Skyler 2, respectively. We had an awesome time. After Church we went to Jason's house had lunch, hunted for eggs took pictures...ETC. There will be some Easter play layouts following.....



Spring Time Rains

This is actually a Journaling challenge about my favorite kind of weather.

Journaling reads:

My favorite weather of the year are the Spring Time Rains. I absolutely love the rain. I feel a sense of peace. I find myself more of a home body. It's the only time of the year I find myself baking bread, cuddling by a fire to read or just watching the flames. Most of the time though, you will find my windows open or my door as I am watching & listening to the wonder of God. Spring Rains awake the senses, freshens the air & life is renewed. But I think that my most favorite reason for loving Spring Rains are the beautiful rainbows & the reminders of Gods presence and of His promises.

Mommy's Love Bug

I kreated this LO for a sketch contest. It's the first time I have ever tried anything like it. I have never used Photoshop and so my CS3 Guru son had to give me quite a hand in instructions. He got frustrated at my 51 yr old slow learning capacity. LOL But I got it and I thank him dearly.

My Flower Girls

This is a finished Challenge called "By The Number." We had to use 5 different papers, 3 different fonts and a piture in B/W Color and Sepia, 3 embelishments & a journaling block. This was such a perfect pose of the girls.
