Hi Everyone!!!! I've missed everyone so bad :)...I will be back to blogging everyday starting today :).....It's been a hectic two weeks..We had a wake up call for my children they both got diagnosed with being pre-diabetic, so we did a complete about face and started Weight Watchers, I have nothing but healthy foods in the pantry and fridge. It's been real fun cooking new stuff everyday, reading labels, keeping within are points and exercising! In fact I have to hurry because we are going for a 3.1 hike on Mt. Madonna today.....you can already tell with Cordell that he has lost a lot of weight not only with his appearance but with his energy level..it's been awesome but I do have to cook everyday and keep up with homework so it's taking me two weeks to get adjusted but by golly I think I got it...so I will for sure see you tomorrow :)
OK on to the card I made this card using the sketch from Friday Sketchers...I did check out the new sketch from them and I can't wait to use that one too ...I did get to use my new stamp from Wags n Whiskers and isn't she darling??
