In January, the Hostess Club members were supposed to make a birthday book, but I ran out of time for the project. I made a point, last month, to get it done! The books were a hit! I really love making books with my Bind-It-All. The book I made for myself is not going to be a birthday book, since I already have one. You can see it here. I think my book will be my new prayer journal.
The paper is the double-sided More Mimi designer paper from The Angel Company. I really love this paper, if you couldn't tell! LOL Even better, buy a pack of More Mimi and you get one free!!! Gotta love The Angel Company!
These self-adhesive pearls are so fun to accent the scalloped circle. I used my Cricut to make the "B" for the monogram. My husband covered 4 pieces of chipboard for me...he misunderstood what I meant so I just glued two pieces together and voila!... thicker covers! LOL There are no mistakes in paper crafting...only room for creativity! Right?
FINALLY! I got my 5 pound star! I joined Weight Watchers 8 weeks ago and Thursday I finally went over the 5 pound mark for weight loss! Not a lot, I know!!! I am very happy to have reached this goal, not as quickly as I wanted, but I have other benefits that are just as important. I am now eating more! Instead of once a day, I eat two or three meals a day. I drink my water. I have been taking my multi-vitamin and allergy pill regularly. I've been eating a lot more vegetables and increased my fresh fruit intake, as well. I have made better choices and it's sticking so I choose not to freak out over the scales, but days like Thursday: when I got the rewards, it sure is encouraging. My best friend, Heather, has really been such a supportive and encouraging friend. She is the first one to cheer me on, whether I lose ounces or pounds, and she is the first one to remind me that I can do this when I have a bad day...or week! LOL She is a wonderful friend, loving wife and awesome mother of 4! She has the same struggles as I do, in different ways, yet she is beating the scales each week and instead of being smug or judgmental because I am not, she is there to offer her hand to help me try again!! LOVE YOU, HEATHER!!! Oh and you MUST go see her blog. Check it out: here.Angel Hugs,
