5kg Weight Loss Challenge

Ok My DD told me I need to loose 5 kilos, So when I saw Karen's Challenge http://5kilosscrappers.blogspot.com/   I decided to join in. So........ here is my pic of my current weight eek!

I plan to walk most days, stop eating between meals, watch what I eat and eat smaller meals. A couple of years ago I cut ALL sugar from my diet on advice from a naturepath and I must say I felt the best of Had in years and I also lost the extra weight as a bonus. I did it for 6 weeks, but I dont know If I can go back there. I know it would be good for me, but it is hard to maintain long time. Anyhoo I will see how I go with cutting down on what I eat and walking

Featured Member on the Boxx

I have been very honoured to be featured member on the Boxx http://www.theboxx.scrapboxx.com/ this month :) I also got to play with the Boxx of scrap to create a layout with and to do a layout of the amazing Julie Winks Sketch :)

Beleive in your Dream and make it Happen

This is my layout of Julies Sketch, I use Basic Grey Doiley Sheet to cut out the circles, LOVE IT and Basic Grey Doiley Ribbons. The Journalling says "What a year 2010 was for you. It was challenging both mentally and physically, but you approached it with determination and Courage. You deserve to feel proud.

Remember the Days of the Old School Yard

 These two layouts are what I created from the Box of Scraps from the Boxx and I still have enough for another layout maybe two! Lots of Pink Paislee goodies. So now I have stared a album of my hubbys childhood! Thanks Jo for the gorgeous owl

First Day

Thanks Miss Annette for the Gate, Jess McKenzie for the Hessian. I added the key and the Back to School picture I cut out from October Afternoon PP

Thanks for stopping by

My Mini Holiday

I have just returned home from a few days with my DD, I had a fantastic time, it was good for the soul. We fitted heaps into  3 days. Lots of brunching  (so now need to diet), movies, beach, swimming in the pool, we went to Centenial Park and watched a movie outdoors. I certainly could get used to that lifestyle! But back to reality now with the batteries recharged.

Movies in Centenial Park

Our little Picnic

This meal was delicious

Cant wait till my next little holiday

Giveaway Time!

A Good Day :)

Today I got together with some scrappy friends (well they are not scrappy, but they scrap :) ) We went to Miss Annettes and had a lovely day. I got a layout done for Jess McKenzies Sketch Challenge at http://www.theboxx.scrapboxx.com/, started a albumn for a dear friend, we had fruit salad and yogurt for lunch (we are so healthy) and then we had some shopping therapy by going over to www.craftqueen.com.au/ and buying some scrap goodies ......I am so weak..... Lord Help Me. But there is JUST so many beautiful products to drool over...... Oh dear. We also had some caramel slice..... cant be TO healthy.
Finished the day off by going out to dinner, so all in all a good day. Hope all your days are good ones.
This is my layout I did at Annettes it is of my beautiful Grandson, playing hide and seek with his sister in the Park.

Cheers
