Dream Big Cre8tions

Happy Easter everyone. For me Easter is a time of renewal and re-dedication, so today, that is exactly what I'm doing. I'm re-dedicating myself to living a healthy lifestyle with new goals. I've been struggling with food for the past couple of months, so in honor of spring, I'm going to work on eating more veggies and fruits, less ice cream....also, I'm going to renew my exercise goals and strive for 30 minutes of walking 6 days/week and 20-30 minutes of strength training/toning 5 days/week. The walking part is pretty natural for me, as I try to take 2-15 minutes walk breaks each day at work. The strength/toning part is going to take more discipline. I'll keep you updated on my progress. I've also set my first weight loss goal of the spring. 10 lbs by my birthday in July. It's do-able and will more than likely be adjusted as I move forward. One of the projects I started in August of 2009, was to scrapbook my journey to a healthier life, I've slacked

So today, I finally got the chance to work on some pages for my friend Cindy's travel album. I was able to complete 1 full layout and finish up 2 that I had previously started. This layout uses Basic Grey Kioshi, which is one of my favorites because of the color palette.  Here I've used My Minds Eye - Abbey Road to highlight pictures of Ventura, CA and Six Flags. I think this is my favorite, done with BoBunny - Flower Child, you can't see it very well, but I've also used Cinnamon Stickles on the lettering to make it pop a little more. Tomorrow I'm making Mother's Day cards for my Stepmom and Grandma. When you dream it might come true.....when you dream dream big.

So, I was thinking about it today and finally decided to start my blog. I plan on showcasing my crafty creations as well as keep everyone up-to-date on the comings and goings of my small household. Thoughts, plans, hopes, dreams, cre8tions......it's all fair game. When you Dream.....Dream Big!
