Happy Memorial Day Weekend!!! It's been a nice weekend but it went way too fast as usual. I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. I'm so grateful to all the military men and women who are serving and protecting this great country and to all the veterens who have served so faithfully!
Okay, Week 2 of my weight loss journey is done and I feel awesome. I lost 2 more pounds! But I have to say, the weekends are just soooo hard to keep to healthy eating, especially a holiday weekend. That's one thing I really have to work on. Anyways, I’ve been logging in my food log each day and been eating lots of fruits and veggies. I’ve been looking for some good homemade salad dressings since I can’t stand any of the light dressing except for Hidden Valley Ranch. I picked Creamy Lemon Salad Dressing, once I make it this weekend and try it I’ll report back and post of its good.
I signed up for the 52 Card Pickup class at Big Picture Scrapbooking. I’m so excited for this class; its going to be so much fun. I got my deck all ready to go and I completed my first technique today.
It's a clear embossed image and then you put acrylic paint over the image and wipe away the excess paint from the image.
I really love how it turned out.
REMINDER!!!
Dirty Scraps Challenge No. 10 Serenity is now up…

I never had turkey bacon before. I read that if you put it on a Thomas Everything Bagel thin with low fat veggie cream cheese and lettuce/tomato it’s only 5 points! Well I tried it and it’s so delicious, it actually tastes like regular bacon.
Subway has a new line of breakfast sandwiches. This is the Western Egg & Cheese Muffin Sandwich, its delicious and only 3 points!
And finally, I just had to do it. I’m a really big fan of Farmville, I just love it! I went ahead and created a layout to capture my love of the game :) If anyone wants to be my neighbor just leave me your name on FB and I’ll friend you :)
Have a wonderful weekend.
Me and the kids were totally goofing off in the car coming back from dinner this weekend. Man, I really love these kids :)
My mom and my boys did a good job selling all there old stuff. As you can see one son is shielding himself from the "mommarazzi" and the other son is running away. This is typical behavior when I get my camera out!
