I can't believe it!

I can't believe it, I went to the store yesterday and tried on jeans that were 2 sizes smaller than what I had previously worn. Get this, they fit! I am so excited! I finally am getting into the weight that I gained from being sick with thyroid disease. Wow, 10 years I have just come close but was never able to get there, now I'm 8 pounds into it, I am just so happy!

My boyfriend took me to Maine last weekend, what a romantic place! Wow! Just incredible, the views were just stunning. How lucky am I?!

I'm going to a wedding today, I made 2 cards for it, not sure which one I want to give to them, will ask the b/f to have him pick because I am clueless and they are both nice. This is one of them, the other is in my gallery under my featured stamper challenges. "JoJot" was the fs that day.

Here is a pic from Maine, you can see my new body. I can't believe how good I look, it is just amazing. My new b/f has made me a happy woman too. It's been a long time since I felt wanted and admired, and an equal, I feel all those things now. What a wonderful feeling.

A new day, a new me!

I have been so busy lately. I have a new boyfriend, almost 3 months now, a new job, and a new weight! I'm down 13 pounds!!! My new job happens to be at a weightloss clinic, and because I work there, I get to do the program for free!! I've been on it for almost 2 weeks, and 13 pounds lighter. I am so happy!

Unfortunately, I haven't really had time to craft lately. I totally miss it. I am going to try and keep up with my card making once a week, it is so therapeutic. Having a new boyfriend, I find that I'm spending my available time with him. It is so funny, when I was married, I didn't spend any time with my ex, this was my therapy to stay away from him. Now I'm in a good relationship, I don't get enough time to make my cards because I am just too happy, I want to spend all my free time with him!

Well, here are some cards I made, and a few pics of the new me!

Yesterdays Graduation

I graduated from Medical Assistant Training. We had the official ceremony yesterday. In the pics are me, my son, my two best friends, Dawn and Michelle, and my new boyfriend Jeff. tfl

MOJO89

I made this card for the MOJO89 challenge. I also made it for my new b/f for fathers day. He is such a sweet guy. I am very lucky to have found him. I wanted to do something special for him.

I used creamy caramel as my base, then I used close to cocoa dsp for the top half, and dsp from the "to the nines" collection from Stampin Up.

I mounted my image on choc chip and layered it with creamy caramel. I stamped in choc chip, and the little star is stamped in close to cocoa, colored in caramel, and highlighted in choc chip.

Hope you like it, tfl! PS, this is my first square card!

Healing

Well, it has been a month since I have had surgery. My arm is getting better. I can actually just about straighten it out. I still have to be careful, I tend to over do it sometimes, as I am a righthanded woman, I forget and use my right hand instead of taking it easy and using my left.

Here are some pics taken today. As you can see, I am much better than the last set of pics. I also made a card today so I am adding that too.

getting better

Each day I am getting better and better, and I find, I can do more things. So I tried to make a more complex card, using the mojo86 theme.

I just got my new papers, and my new sanded bg. So I decided to make a card on pirouette pink, I wanted to use my sanded, and mellow moss just jumped out at me. so I used that. I had some 6x6 dsp from SU and I had some in artichoke that just went so well, I used it.

Then I matted my images on rose red, used my markers in rose red, artichoke and colored in pretty in pink and mellow moss. I really like how this turned out.

what do you think?

So, I have been away due to surgery of my right arm. I was able to make 3 cards since my sugery. It was a difficult process, but Imake cards and I love doing it.

The whit card was made 3 days after surgery, the pink, 4-1/2 days, and the purple 10 days.

This is how I look. The exposed pics or my arm were taken yesterday. I still have the stitches in my arm and they come out tomorrow. Hope I didn't gross you out.
