Fun and Mental Changes

Boy... this year's Favorite Things Birthday Give Away was pretty sparse!!!!!  ONLY 7 ENTRIES????  Welp, the odds were in EVERYONE'S favor this time.  I'm happy to announce, thanx to Random.org' that LORI'S the big winner.  Lori Barnett said... Ok...I wanted to go to Curves....but to far to drive. I love this idea instead! I wlll share with a friend! March 22, 2014 at 8:14 AM I don't think I've ever seen #1 get picked on the random number generator.  Congrats Lori!!!  And thanks to the other 6 people who participated.  I really shouldn't be as surprised as I am that more folks didn't enter.  This is what happens when you're MIA on your blog for as long as I was.  But I'm sooooooo happy for you Lori.... I just KNOW you're going to LOVE them!!!

YAY!  I love announcing winners!!!  And this one is a special one for me since the prize features so many of my own designs!!! I want to thank everyone who participated in this Twilight:  Breaking Dawn Pt. 2 Blog Hop (click HERE if you haven't done the hop yet.  There are some awesome projects!!!).... I so wish I had prizes for everyone.  Without further adieu, here's the blog candy winner!!! Laura B said... Your keepsake box is so gorgeous! Such a beautiful way to keep your memories!:) Awesome candy, too! Laura B, check your email, I just sent you a quick "Congrats" message. Welp, that does it for today.  I hope everyone has a wonderful AND SAFE Thanksgiving holiday tomorrow.  I'm off to chop up some celery and onions this evening.  I'm not exactly thrilled with chopping onions so I saved it for the very last thing before bed tonight.  Now that I've completed this post..... I no longer have excuses to procrastinate!!!  So ...

Ok gang!!!  I'm a bit late with announcing the winner of my Twilighty Goody Bag but it's because I've been a little laid up.  I had a little accident with my lab puppy who is an infant in an ENORMOUS dog's body.  Well, you can kind of see where this is going!!!  About a week and a half ago I tripped over him breaking a toe and hurting my back.  This has NOT been a fun time for me so PLEASE accept my apologies for the oh-so-late winner announcement.  So the winner of my Twilighty Goody Bag is:  AKUMA KANJI!!!! Akuma Kanji said... I am very happy for you! Specially because you will use a proper wedding dress :) I had a cousin that happened the same thing. She married pregnant so she didn't wear a dress neither went to the curch, but when her son was baptized, when he was already around 8 years old, they decided to unite the ceremonies and so she had her chance to use a wedding dress. She was very radiant! ^__^ I hope everything will go just fine! Cou...

First, I used my new toy, the Zutter DreamKutz to cut my 8.5" x 11" white cardstock in half....
