A new adventure

2010-01-10T14:26:00.012-07:00

My really good friend Dolores, that i have known for a few years from message boards past, along with her freind Michele, has started a new scrapbooking site........

Timless Daydreams

http://timelessdaydreams.com/index.php

Please go check it out...There is a ton of inspiration and scrappy goodness for the eyes. The froum rawks! Dolores asked me to be a guest designer there this month with the Vintage Valentine Kit...it is full of Fancy Pants happiness. It was so fun to work with this kit! Here are a couple of Sneak Peeks!

These kits are fabulous...everything you need comes right to your door. The huge bonus- this is not your ordinary kit club...there are no monthly requirements. If you want it you buy it without having to sign up for a 3, 6 or 12 month subscription. I love that you are not tied into it.
Come by and say hey...we would love to see you all there.

Thanks for peekin!

The fight is over....

2008-02-10T09:44:00.000-07:00

well i did really well the first couple of weeks...then it all came to a screeching hault! I quess i thought i was ready...but i was wrong. I WILL be trying again...and again...and again..if that is what it takes..I WILL BE SMOKE FREE!

On a lighter note...i did this LO for the "we love our members contest" at http://www.treasuredscrapbooking.com/ i really like how it turned out so i think i might frame it and put it on the wall. I want my kids to know that even though it's not love at first sight...get to know the person...they might be your soulmate after all!

Thanks for peekin...Jer

Not a very good day....

2008-02-01T15:35:00.000-07:00

OK OK i confess i caved today...geesh I was doing really well too! Makes me sad that this lil thing has such a hold on me. I have started over again...I will beat this smoking thing..i will!!!! I have replaced the want for a cigarette with pepsi...probably not real good for me either..but better than the cigarette.

I did however CREATE yesterday and it felt good...easy..I didnt have to force the creativity..it just came. That is my favorite part and i think it makes for a better project in the end.

Another Successful Day

2008-01-28T21:54:00.000-07:00

no smoking today...rough but i made it through..just grabbed a piece of gum when I had the urge. I didn't have any coffee this morning...not sure if that helped or hindered! Snowed here today...ok more like a BLIZZARD! Ended up with about 3 inches all on the right side of my yard! Another one coming in tom. Working on a lil {lOvE} project hope to get it finished up tom.

I am so excited for this year...on Jan.12 i decided it was time to end a 20 year habit. It has been extrtemley hard and i have slipped once or twice...but I am still determined to kick this smokin thing! I did watch the Oprah show last week and I am doing everything the right way. So i am headed in the right direction.

I have also decided that i needed a new blog that focused more on me and what I love. ALTERING and CARDMAKING! I hopt to keep this one more up to date than the last one. So please join me on this journey! I hope to inspire you to create!

Much luv...Jer
