Winner Announcement!!!

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!!!!

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! Count me in in your Twilight giveaway: akuma[dot]kanji[at]gmail[dot]com

Thanx to everyone who played along!!!  I already sent out an email to the winner!!!

Now for some good stuff that came out of all that limping and crying after my accident!!!  I'm seeing just how DETERMINED I am to have that wedding dress.  Even though I've been laid up, I'm STILL managing to stay on track with the Curves Complete program.  While I HAVE had to miss a couple of workouts, I'm still getting in my 10K steps a day (well, most days and quite gingerly) and eating like a girl who's getting ready to buy a wedding dress!  Woo Hoo!  What I realized is that life is still going to happen when you're looking down the barrel of realizing your dreams.  You can let things stop you or you can find a way around them.... it's all about what you CHOOSE to focus on, what it means and what we are going to do about it?  I'm choosing to focus on the girl about to buy a weeding dress, it means that it is my last chance for a REAL wedding ceremony therefore fulfilling all my girly dreams and I'm going to continue moving forward REGARDLESS of circumstances in life.  THAT means that I'm going to be relying on my body to heal itself which takes me full circle back to this wonderful Curves Complete program of eating right, exercising and one-on-one accountability.  I'm slowed slightly but still moving in the right direction!!! 

I'd like to say a quick "Thank You" to Anthony Robbins for the message that sparked my resolve.  Here's the clip that motivated me to really search myself.  While this video is surprisingly vulgar, Mr. Robbins is none-the-less anointed and spectacular.  I hope that others get out of it what I got out of it!



***MORE GOOD STUFF!!! Stay tuned for the details of my upcoming Copic class being held for the first time at Craft Fusion... YAY!!!***

How to Upload Gypsy Cut Files To Your Gypsy

Well... Today was the big day for the Provo Craft Gypsy! Provo Craft FINALLY provided the Cricut Design Studio compatibility and now we also have the added benefit of sharing Gypsy cut files... but it was at a price. I will get to that in a later post. In honor of this occasion though, I will be adding my Gypsy cut files to my blog for everyone to use. You will find my cut files in the top right corner of my blog marked *NEW (at the top of the side bar). The instructions on how to download at the bottom of this post. I hope you all enjoy them... they've been a long time coming. The featured pic here is the "welded Snow" file. It turned out BEAUTIFUL! DOWNLOAD INSTRUCTIONS For those of you who already own the Gypsy, here are the instructions. There is no conversion needed because these files are only .gypsy files. To save them: 1.) Connect your gypsy to your computer, turn it on and open Gypsy Sync on your computer. 2.) Once the Gypsy Sync Program has searched for an updat...

Gorgous Leaves Bundle Revisited

Yestday's Freebie Friday on a Monday projects were so fun and this set is SO BEAUTIFUL in it's simplicity!  It reminds me of a long-retired stamp set from Stampin Up!.  I was inspired to re-create the projects that I made with it once upon a time.  So here we go.... SIMPLE projects when you need a quick "hello" or an even quicker heartfelt sympathy card: I was DEFINITELY on a Bumblebee and Cajun Craze kick yesterday!  I can't stop/won't stop!  LOL!  To be fair... I had extra leaves die cut and didn't want anything to go to waste!  A quick speckle backdrop in Bumblebee then a quick "hello" greeting from the Biggest Wish in Cajun Craze with the Cajun Craze leaf popped up on a Basic White cardbase.  PERFECTION! Okay, as with yesterday's projects, the sentiment is from the recently retired SAB Delicate Dahlia's set, but you could use ANY sympathy sentiment you have in your stash.  Unlike in the past when I had to mask off the center rectangle...
