Never would i have thought...

i would get picked, but i did!!! As usual i was doing my average night of surfing and ran across Scrap Etc. 2009. They were discussing that Margie Romney-Aslett was giving away a ticket to the event. A ticket to ALL the classes...yes a ticket oh my!! A single golden ticket...never did i think...well i was chosen
Now i have to figure out how to fly across country to Atlanta, GA, coordinate babysitters, hotel room and meals...oh my!!

So I've been hooked on ATC swaps on SIStv. Diane and i spent a couple of Saturdays ago making them it was fun and the boys behaved themselves so we got so much done. These ATC's are from the woodgrain swap and the next is from the Dr. Seuss swap. That one was a lot of fun with the colors.

So this past Saturday Diane and i hit the road to Picture Me Perfect to take a class with Miss Nikki Peterson. We did twelve...yes 12 layouts. Good time as always was to be had. Suzy was the hostess with the mostest...snorts and all!!! It was good meeting up with some SISters and of course seeing Marie and her cousin, Crystal. i was soooo excited to see the difference in Marie's weight loss. It had been a while since i have seen her sooo i definitely saw the difference. Way to go!!!

All of us SISters together for a group shot.

Ok already...

So i thought i was on that path...but keeping to it was a tough choice in my time and space. With everything going on i try and try. Did ya know i had a birthday??? Yes, i did...margaritas and tacos with my wingmen in tow.
Throughout eveything going...on the loss...we are standing strong. Unity and accountability that's all we have left with that we will come together again. So ya like these little goodies??? It was my Post Secret ATC Swap i did with SIStv. They were so funny to read. Have you been to Post Secret?

Back in Nov. i did my first 5k in San Francisco and this is my little book i made with my number and photos that i got off the website. Sure they are a little pixelated but you get the idea.

i saved my Starbucks cozy to use in the book with some bingo and beano cards. The book is now a great memory of my friends and our first 5k.





And this is my first challenge for the new year...It was from Inspired by Amelie. i just couldn't pass it up.

Am i back...probably not...i think this is depression. Never been diagnosed but i hope to get my mojo back soon.
