May Update
Sigh....you have probably noticed I am not exactly prolific when it comes to putting out new products...or doing layouts or blogging or anything else for that matter...between work and my never ending battle to 'fix up the house'...not a whole lot seems to get done...
Jenny Craig Update - I have lost over 15 pounds! Jenny is perfect for my lifestyle (ie I hate cooking, meal planning, grocery shopping and anything else having to do with eating properly). Deciding which frozen entree to eat for dinner is just my speed. I went to Macy's (never shop there I'm a Marshalls/thrift shoppe girl) just to try on a size 6 and it fit (eh a little snug but my ego was satisfied)...
NeverEnding House Saga - I painted the living room this rich golden brown - it looks super with all these ethnic tapestries I got on E-bay and these cool Umbra carved wood curtain rods I got at Odd Lots (cheap!)...of course being a bad blogger I have no pictures. My back patio, despite having slaved over it 2 summers ago, looked horrendous so I had to buy this weed killer to put between the patio stones and spend an afternoon doing gardener type stuff like hacking off dead foliage from last summer along w/a multitude of weeds that set up shop.
Car Saga - I can no longer pride myself in driving an old beater. God blessed me with a 95 Buick LeSabre with leather interior -- yeah baby! It's an older luxury model with lotsa' bells and whistles (shoot, just having a driver's side door that opens is a bell and whistle in my book)...

Get out the Violin! - Geez, I look at all the amazing layouts, amazing designers...and sometimes feel that it is all passing me by. As a designer I feel like I am slowly creeping along, one tiny step at a time. Scrapwise I have bottomed out - no new photo shoots, thus not much incentive to do layouts.....Just bear with me! Back when I was scrapping into the wee hours the rest of my life was going to seed - gotta balance things out I guess. I am an 'all or nothing' type but reality is forcing me to parcel out my efforts one small step at a time...
