Some layouts

Here are my favorite layouts since I've last posted. This first one up is my darling grandaughter and a friend at a BBQ a couple years back. I used a fun new collab kit, Me and MaryJane, by Angie Kovacs and LilyAnne Taylor, a new designer at Elemental Scraps.






















Next is one of my precious cat, Miley, who we call booboo. I took the photo as an example for the photo challenge I hosted this week at ES. The challenge is to get in close to your subject.























One more. This one is of the little guy. I love his attitude and this kit, A Lad's World, at Elemental Scraps and by Nikki Scott was perfect and so fun to use.

Oh my Gosh!

I can't believe how fast time flies. It has been over a month since I've visited my own blog! Here's some highlights of what I've been up to. I've lost a total of 7 lbs with 15 more to go. I'm hoping to reach my goal by fall with most of it being gone by the time summer rolls around. I've been doing strength training with weights and a sculpting bar and have reduced one whole clothing size!!! Yay!!
We've been very busy working on a huge DIY project. DH has been laid off work for three weeks and we decided to save some money we had set aside for tile and do it ourselves! YIKES! Everything that could go wrong, has... I think. We are not getting any closer to getting actual tile on the floors. I just heard dh say from the other room, 'I don't know about this'. Not good.
I've finished the ADSR which was fun but exhausting. I was burned out a bit on scrapping but I've got my mojo back now. I will show some layouts in the next couple of days. I best go now and see what our latest problem is with the floor.
