A New Blog.

I decided after well, very little thought, that this weight loss journey needed its own blog. A new blog. A separate blog. A place to talk strictly weight-loss and not scrapbooking and kids and husband and all that jazz. So, I started a new blog. It's very plain right now, but until I get some time (final book deadline: Feb. 26: Life resumes)... that's how it will stay. But that blog will discuss all the ins and outs of weight loss. This blog will be a journal of everything else. You know... all those super-exciting tales I like to tell about this crazy little life I'm living. Or wait. Maybe not.

Anyway. Here I will talk about the other stuff. HERE I will talk weight loss. My new blog is called LOSING IT. I hope you'll check it out... and comment. I'd love to know I'm not alone on this journey.

In other news, today was a snow day. Well, a COLD day... there really wasn't much snow. Lots of ice last night, but just really COLD temps this morning, so the kids were all home reeking havoc. I love having Sophia home, but I think she gets bored. I don't think she wants to admit it because she doesn't want to hurt my feelings, but the girl was now 'snow day' excited this morning.

I finished up some Scarlet Lime layouts this morning - this new kit is so cute. I love the way Christy puts stuff together. In fact, once I've got the assignments done, I keep using the kits like crazy. I've never been that great at mixing and matching papers from various manufacturers, so this is awesome! I wrote an article awhile back on kit clubs and Heather Burch said it's like having a personal shopper... I love that! It's so true!

Anyway, I think Christy is going to post those layouts in a couple of days so I'll post them here. If you're thinking about a kit club, I highly recommend that one! :)

I'm thinking I need to do a giveaway on my blog. I'm going to put some stuff together and give it away. And I'm going to track down the give away for MARGO who sent me her address in the midst of our big move! I've got to get to UPS anyway, so might as well give some stuff away!! I'll work on that in the next couple of days!

For now, I've got to get these kids in bed! 'night!

Just wanted to say that I got your book, Scrapbooking Your Faith, last week and I LOVE it!!!
This is exactly the inspiration that I needed to start scrapbooking about my faith.
It's so refreshing to read through this and makes me realize how important the Lord is to me and that I want my family to know that through my scrapbooking.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

Cari

(this is also a HUGE inspiration to me as I'm preparing to teach at a scrapbooking retreat in May - which has a lot of emphasis on faith and how it effects our lives.)

Two blogs? are you a glutton for punishment or what? How do you do it? 3 kids, a husband, a new house, church groups, scrappin' deadlines, weight watchers, and not one but TWO blogs?

And I thought I was busy =)
