I've been MIA...

Hi Everyone.

I know I have been a little MIA. I am in the waiting room of the hospital right now waiting for my mommy, she is having her last aneurism surgery. WHEW!!! Right in time for tax season. She does taxes, so now that means that I do taxes too. And school, work, attempt to clean and scrap when I can. It's o.k. it's mostly just for the rest of January and February for me, then life can get back to "normal". I have some stuff to share...

Last Friday the 23rd was my current sistahs birthday. Ann has amazing talent check out her blog. I sent her a flower pot card that I found here. I was going to upload my pic, but it must be on my stinkin jump drive that I left at work. Check out Ann's Blog. She was so nice to post a pic and say some very nice words.

I am in the final 2 weeks of my Interpersonal Communications class, so creativity will be flowing very slowly until it is over.

Su! Updates: The Love You Bundle sale ends on the 31st of January. If you were even thinking about ordering....Hurry Up!!!

Starting on February 1st all online orders receive a free 2009 Spring-Summer Catalog and SALE-A-BRATION STARTS!!! For every $50 in order, you get a free stamp set (from the sale-a-bration catalog only). It's a HUGE DEAL!!!!

You also get a free Sale-a-bration stamp set free when you sign up to be a Demo. Thats a HUGE DEAL!!!

I get to buy school books when orders are placed through my website, so please let me know if you need anything at all. Anything stamping related would be a very welcomed distraction to whatever I might be doing.

Have a wonderful day!!
P.S. I said I was going to wait 30 days but.....I lost 3 more pounds...thats 15 total!!

Woo Hoooo!!!!

I totally swore to myself that I would not weigh myself until my 30 day mark. All I could see is that little froggie counter at the bottom of my page. That sucker sure isn't going to move itself!!! It's been 2 weeks and...............

12 pounds are gone!!!!!

It hasn't been too bad. A lot of water and going to the gym. Next week I promised to start doing something other than the tredmill. Hey, it may be silly but the chubster hasn't hardly moved from the computer and scrap table in almost 3 years. Yearly scrapbook convention doesn't count..LOL!!!

Gotta go, homework and don't forget my SU! Party on saturday!!!!

Love, Carrie

The sign of tough times!!!

I wish you all could have seen the look on my face when my hubby and boys brought this home to me from the dollar store. You know I practically made a deal with devil when I agreed not to ask for or spend any $$ in order to join the gym, and get new shoes and a new work out outfit. Since I have not even asked for a dollar, he must have known I was just jumping at the chance to buy something card or scrapbook related...not quite my idea, but the thought was worth a million dollars!!!! I must have looked like Scooby Doo when Fred suggested they go in and find those darn ghosts. Even better, my boys are out here in my scraproom (I call it scrap, even though I have not scrapped in months) and now I actually have stuff for them to play with.

They love to make cards with me. I just thought I would share this funny story and to brag about my husband for a minute. Even took the boys to grocery shopping by himself while I went to get my membership at the gym. I am a very lucky girl. He even cooks almost every night and cleans both bathrooms.

Thanks for letting me share. love, carrie

On a mission...

Hello everyone,
I don't have anything creative to share with you today. I just had to pop in and let you know that I have been sooo busy. I have made it to the gym every single day and have made it to the week mark of not having one piece of candy!!!! That is HUGE for me!!! I will have to bring my camera to work so that I can take a pic of the biggest candy bowl that sits right next to me. Michelle (Owner of the candy bowl) doesn't just fill it with crap either. It's the good stuff...twix, Reeses, Kit Kat...mmmmm. I will not eat anymore candy!!! I will just open up my fiber bar and be content with that.

Overall I think I am doing very well. Yesterday and today seem to be the hardest for me. I will just drink a bottle of water and get past it. I am not going to weigh myself yet, although I can feel it. I am going to try and wait for my 30 day mark.

I hope everyone else is doing good on their resolutions. Thanks to Kimmie for starting this little weight loss group and all of the great support!!

Love, Carrie
