I figured I had better show you the new picture of me and to say THANK YOU to the ones who noticed I had already changed it *wink, wink*. It is nice to be able to take a picture straight on and not worry about that double chin .. Who Me?? NOOOO!
Some of you were posting that they thought they were on the wrong blog. I can assure you ... you have come to the right place, hehehe.
I made THIS BOX yesterday and then mentioned that it would be nice to put that flower a card, so here it is!
I made the same flower, only this time I did not add the rubbed ink, and changed the sahara circle for a chocolate chip one. The DSP is a left over piece from my Sweet Pea pack, and the CS is so saffron and chocolate chip. I punched it with the eyelet border punch (#113692), and added the 5/8 grosgrain (#109051). I sued the marker to ink up part of the sentiment in the Oval All set (#113790), and then punched it out with the curly label (#112208). I faux stitched with the marker, as well. So, thanks for all the encouraging words, and compliments ~ You had me looking in my mirror all day.
Tootles, have fun and happy stamping!!
Yes, you do look fantastic in this picture! And I can't see any trace of that treacherous double chin you mentioned! How did you do it? Share your secrets!

Hi Julie! Just found your blog today and I must say that if I hadn't signed up for Isagenix on Sunday with an old classmate, I would have under you! You look amazing. It's funny how once you decide to do something or commit to something you all of a sudden notice it all around you. Just thought it was an amazing coincidence that I found your blog this week of all weeks. It really confirms I am taking the right step in doing this.
You rock!

Julie you look absolutely gorgeous! I love your long, curly hair...very pretty. Gongrats to all you have accomplished. I tried the Isagenix, but couldn't handle the taste of the Ionix (I think) :( You are an inspiration to be healthy and to be crafty ;D

When I saw your new picture the day you posted it, I did a double-take. You look absolutely stunning. Everything about the picture was fantastic. What a wonderful adventure you've been on the past few months. Thanks for sharing the adventure with us. You're an inspiration to so many.
You should be very proud of yourself. And I imagine your husband loves sharing his bed with this new, vibrant, healthy, beautiful woman. Congratulations on your accomplishment.

I noticed the pic immediately, but before I could comment, 4 and 5 year old boys started fighting (you don't know what that's like do you?). I have watched in awe the transformation you have gone through. You do look amazing, but the most important aspect is that you look incredibly HEALTHY and HAPPY! Long and joyous life to you and your family. XOXO
