I have lost 12 lbs but given that I was just over 200 lbs, (yes I was that large) you really can't tell. I can a little, and I mean just a little. I see a very small difference in my tummy area. That has gone down and it seem to me my boobies are shrinking. Not happy about that only because they are not a young girl perkie anymore so that only means they are getting saggy and will be flat. I am proud of myself that I have not cheated, still only eating Paleo and working out about an average 5 days a week.<br />
<br />
Another great update is that I got a promotion at work and have become a full timer and part of management. I really don't care about the management so much as the full time and the small raise that came with it. I am lucky that I like going to work and enjoy what I do, so all in all it is a good thing. <br />
<br />
Today I made a Valentine card for the <a href="http://www.simonsaysstampblog.com/blog/work-it-wednesday-january-2014/" target="_blank">Simon Says Work It Wednesday challenge</a> this month. I bought the Sizzix heart die set a little while ago and had never used it, just waiting for Valentine day cards to break it out. I decided to use the positive and negative on the same card. Did you know that Michaels craft store sells My Minds Eye products. I picked up a 4x4 pad, called Love Me, and found the perfect paper for under the heart. I made sure I situated the paper so that 2 and the 14 would show through.<br />

I hope everyone survived the holidays and the New Year. All of mine was uneventful which is very good. One thing that has changed is my eating habit. It's not a diet but totally changed what I eat. My daughter (the oldest) seems to be worried about my health. I guess because this year, in fact next month I will be turning the big <span style="font-size: x-large;">50. <span style="font-size: large;">ugggg!!!! <span style="font-size: small;">No really this milestone is not effecting me at all. The one that really put me in a tailspin was 40, Anyway, I have started eating a Paleo diet. What that means is I only eat things that come from the earth. Meat, very little pure hard types of cheese, eggs, fruits and veggies. My daughter says I can also have small amounts of brown rice and only black beans. I'm ok with that. Everything else is gone. No sugars, wheat, gluten, starch, rice, etc... all that crap that turns to sugar and never leaves your thighs and ass. This all started two days after Christmas so it has only been about two full weeks but so far so good. I really have not missed anything. I also instead of just eating one large meal a day like I use to, I now eat 4 to 6 meals a day. I really would not call them meals, I have one good meal and a lot of little snacks though out the day. I know from the way I had been eating for the last 5 or so years that my metabolism was completely shut down if not dead altogether. It will take quite a bit of time before I can wake it up and make it work properly. </span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">Then next thing I did was join a gym. I recuited my good friend and that was not hard we use to work out together before. It really is the only way to get yourself to the gym if you have no discipline much like me. The buddy system all the way. </span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">I want to start documenting my new change of life plan here but by no means stop my crafting and card making challenges. I hope there is room for both with everyone. </span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">Today's breakfast I created a small scrambled two eggs with mushrooms and 2 slices of bacon. Normally this would </span></span></span><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">never </span></span></span><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">be enough for me. Lately I have noticed that I can't eat to much, I get full very fast. That is a good thing. Even this morning breakfast was a little too much. Then about 2 1/2 hours later I had a pear sliced up and an orange. I slice up all my fruit as it make you eat slower which makes you feel fuller at the end. I will be going to the gym tonight for a couple of hours and today I am only going to do cardio. The treadmill. I feel I have to loose weight before I can create any muscle, and so far I have not lost any weight. Going to try a different strategy. </span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">As for my crafting side: </span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">Since Christmas I have gotten back into my craft room and created a couple new things.. Do you mind? Let me show them off. </span></span></span><br />

I hope everyone is all ready for the holiday. Don't be caught doing the last minute thing on Christmas eve. <br />
<br />
I have to show off a new craft room toy I picked up yesterday. I have had my eye on this for a long time and know for sure it would not be under the tree. Santa came early just for me. <br />

It didn't take any amount of time to fill it up and I reduced the little jars and trays on my desk so now I have soooo much more room. It comes with little plastic trays in each round basket but if you don't want them you can leave them out. I like them in there to help separate the items. <br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hope, in some way, this helps someone make a decision on weather to buy it or not. </div>

Today has been a very busy day. I got more decorations out and finished the house. I also made a new Christmas wreath for the front door. The old one was looking so shabby. I took everything off of it but a Santa head that was still looking ok and started over.<br />

It's only 8 days until Christmas and only 5 days til my darling daughter (the one in Seattle) comes home for Christmas. Can't wait to see her, I miss her so much!<br />
<br />
<a href="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41m+ygu6-sL._SY355_.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41m+ygu6-sL._SY355_.jpg" width="200" /></a>Had to share another card I made for this season. I just love this die set I got this year. It's a Sizzix called Snowmen & Let it Snow. The snowmen come in two sizes. The one on the left is just a little smaller. You can see an example of him on the previous post to this one. On this card I used the snowman on the right and put the hat on him. The set also come with a Sizzlit that die cuts out "Let It Snow". I think I also might make package tags with Mr. Snowman. Wouldn't that look cute? <br />

I used my Sizzix snowman die and had the photo border from my Smash supplies. Added some little googlie eyes and Snowy is looking good. <br />
<br />
This card took me all of 10 mins so I think I'll enter it in the <a href="http://cas-ualfridays.blogspot.com/2013/12/cfc123.html" target="_blank">CAS-ual Fridays challenge #123</a>. This week the challenge is : Let it Snow.<br />

The die is from PTI. I love that it comes with about four different styles of lid options. I tried my hand again at masking. Sometimes it works great but to me this time not so much.<br />

I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. Here in Arizona it has been raining off and on for the last 3 days. That is great for us since we really don't get a lot of rain but man when it does rain here everything just stops. The news stations acts like a world crisis is occurring and everything comes to a dead stop, well except shopping. I work at a major craft store and we have never been busier.<br />
<br />
Back to what I came here to show you. My latest craft idea. I created a sudo Advent calendar. I think it's one of my favorite ideas I've come up with in forever. Pretty proud of it.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
So here is what I started with. They were natural wood and I spray painted them red. </div>

I went old school with this one regarding the leaves. I pulled out an old Sizzix die - Fern. Decided to emboss them with little dots (folder from Life Style Crafts) and put them on a page from Authentique - Thankful. Of course tied them all together in a pretty little bow. <br />

I can't believe how early it comes this year. The day before Thanksgiving. I figured I better get my cards done today since it's my day off.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's what I came up with this year. I only had three to make.</div>

I have seen wood blocks with saying on them all over blogging and facebook. There are some really great one out there. I knew I wanted to make my version of this fun hobby, so here it is.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg21ZRQOQrgvKADHohlBqxgZIFgCkpQuQr8COQXMBC_YBpwJ2yrQxUz4hk1Zv08naD_-fhCSKQc8pP74CipRZ-0NmsYACmMlde6SjU4KakPRoVjGf8R-K-UO7CeEnuqCtZTCNFvhnHYjVI/s1600/Gobble.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg21ZRQOQrgvKADHohlBqxgZIFgCkpQuQr8COQXMBC_YBpwJ2yrQxUz4hk1Zv08naD_-fhCSKQc8pP74CipRZ-0NmsYACmMlde6SjU4KakPRoVjGf8R-K-UO7CeEnuqCtZTCNFvhnHYjVI/s320/Gobble.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
As you can see I staggered the sizes and painted them "Appletini" green. I always use Behr Ultra. It is great paint and also has the primer in the paint so I don't have to worry about priming anything. It's pretty darn thick and doesn't chip. <br />
<br />
I found one of my favorite paper companies in my stach - Doodlebug. They always have the cutes paper and Gobble just calls for cute and fun. Modge Podge and distressed the paper onto the blocks. Pulled out the cricut machine and printed the lettering. Glued and more modge podge to seal the deal. <br />
<br />
I posted them on to my facebook page and 4 groups I belong to and dang it sold with in minutes. I only charged $10 well worth the deal. I also recived orders for two more so I've got to get back to work. <br />
<br />
Just wanted to stop and let the paint dry and show it off.<br />

That means two days of crafting and getting those last of your fall crafts out of the way. I have one project on my table right now that I'm trying to get finished up. It should be done by the end of this weekend and I hope to show it off next week to you.<br />
<br />
For now I have a few Christmas Deco frames I made. The first two are three little frames sets.<br />

I love using scrabble tiles anyway I can. So much fun. These are very little frames, only 3.5 x 3.5, but so perfect for a table top decoration.<br />

These are a little bit bigger..4.5 x 3.5. The lettering is really glittery, so are the little Christmas flowers. I'm afraid you can't see the full effect in the picture.<br />

This one's a normal 4x6 frame. I figure you can leave it as is or put your own family picture in it. Maybe that snow day with a crazy snowball fight. Ha ha.. that would be fun.<br />
<br />
Well, anyway all of these are available at my Etsy shop. Stop by and check out all my frames. They make great gifts. <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/BigMammascraftin" target="_blank"> https://www.etsy.com/shop/BigMammascraftin</a><br />

<span style="font-family: DellaRobbia BT; font-size: large;">Swiss dots are great but I also fell in love with these big dots. Oh yea.. what do you think about my first attempt at pin wheels? I don�t know what took me so long to try them out, they are easy peasy.</span> </div>

Happy Birthday<span style="font-family: DilleniaUPC; font-size: large;">Well I'm going to try this blogging again but really my heart isn't in it. I'm sorry fellow bloggers and the few followers I have. I just don't think it's in my heart. Lately my heart isn't into much of anything but those are my problems. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: DilleniaUPC; font-size: large;">I thought to kick start this off I'd make a card for a couple of challenges. I haven't entered any challenges in a long time. I have some birthdays coming up so a birthday card it was. </span><br />
<a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-k3lrakx5jSc/Uf2Ah65LjzI/AAAAAAAAC8A/cQHNw34FOgc/s1600-h/Happy%252520Birthaday%252520Banner%252520card%25255B6%25255D.jpg"><span style="font-family: DilleniaUPC; font-size: large;"><img alt="Happy Birthaday Banner card" border="0" height="551" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-1ja96CuaeHE/Uf2Aiu1bTKI/AAAAAAAAC8I/bGwdmKnn3DE/Happy%252520Birthaday%252520Banner%252520card_thumb%25255B3%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="Happy Birthaday Banner card" width="400" /></span></a><br />
<span style="font-family: DilleniaUPC; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: DilleniaUPC; font-size: large;">Here's a close up of the banner.</span></div>

<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: DilleniaUPC; font-size: large;">Some deets about this very simple card. <img align="right" height="137" src="https://encrypted-tbn2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQ2Bt7pIpczdvse9Eps393LZgLe6LZ9zxOyWE5HqL35ZYYmnaMr" style="display: inline; float: right;" width="175" /></span></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="font-family: DilleniaUPC; font-size: large;">For my background I used a new embossing folder from Sizixx (Birds & Banners). </span></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="font-family: DilleniaUPC; font-size: large;">Isn't it so cute? I lightly sanded the banners so you can see it, I didn't want it to get lost.<img align="right" height="163" src="http://www.heroarts.com/global/prodimages/CL545.jpg" style="display: inline; float: right;" width="98" /></span></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="font-family: DilleniaUPC; font-size: large;">Next I used Hero Arts "You're the best" stamp set. Did some paper piercing, then added a few dimensional pop foam dots. </span></div>
<div align="left">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">

The end of the year is fast approaching and look at what a cute thing this is to give as a thank you gift. You could fill it up with candy or I'm going to include thumb tacks and paperclips so she can keep it on her desk filled with those things that are always needed. Teachers never have enough thumb tacks. <br />

If you have been following me at all you know I don't have any small children but my daughter is a 4th grade teacher so I made one for her as a little surprise gift. <br />
<a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-7Z_R3rvXWhg/UXW3l5wBCmI/AAAAAAAAC0c/MEF04tc4x1M/s1600-h/Apple%252520container%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img alt="Apple container" border="0" height="416" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-wkwKKIb-Zpw/UXW3maOa6AI/AAAAAAAAC0k/5shjHvk7O-s/Apple%252520container_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="Apple container" width="384" /></a><br />
I bought a small clay pot and the base that goes under it. I already had red paint and the clay, Just to let you know it isn't just any kind of clay, you need to get the kind that you bake so that it become hard and doesn't crack. That took no time at all and I did it in my toaster oven. I made the stem right on the top (which is really the clay pot base) and then put the top with the stem attached to it right in the oven. It won't hurt the clay pot at all. Last I just found a leaf from the tons of silk flower bushels I have and hot glued that on to the stem. <br />

<div align="center">
On the original, from Pinterest, she did not paint the inside but I did. </div>

Then just so things did not fall through the little hole in the bottom I glued a round piece of felt to the bottom. </div>

A while back mom got a new bed. For a long time she had a little twin bed we bought at ikea. We both hated it but the only other bed we had was a huge Cal. King and in her little room there was now way it would fit. so finally mom got to be a big girl and got a big girl bed. She wanted to just throw out her old bed. It was just some boards and slats and normally I would have probably broke it down for firewood but I had a great idea for it so nope in the garage it went. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Gulim; font-size: medium;">I had decided it would make the perfect raised vegetable garden. Those slats were calling my name to plant something between them. </span><br />
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Gulim; font-size: medium;">This is what I started with. </span></div>

<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Gulim; font-size: medium;">I took the headboard off already. Then I removed the footboard. </span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Gulim; font-size: medium;">Then I dug out the garden so that I could put the bed in and cover with dirt. </span></div>
<a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-SW87ZzTg-F0/UWSmYvsaOMI/AAAAAAAACy0/QOg_SaJ7zng/s1600-h/DSCN2403%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><span style="font-family: Gulim; font-size: medium;"><img alt="DSCN2403" border="0" height="323" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-L_w_l8Xmegc/UWSmZZaczfI/AAAAAAAACy8/K6xFFOjiSbc/DSCN2403_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="DSCN2403" width="418" /></span></a><br />

<span style="font-family: Gulim; font-size: medium;">I fit perfect. Look at what a ham Rocky is. He always has to be right in the picture. </span><br />
<a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-uPp4YhyxU4E/UWSmcFbbu6I/AAAAAAAACzU/CM7D42NYUtE/s1600-h/DSCN2405%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><span style="font-family: Gulim; font-size: medium;"><img alt="DSCN2405" border="0" height="312" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-2KQwt5i01ik/UWSmc_Oc2mI/AAAAAAAACzc/wHT-2v3G41w/DSCN2405_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="DSCN2405" width="404" /></span></a><br />

<span style="font-family: Gulim; font-size: medium;">I already had that little fence and thought it would be great to put around it. Last year Rocky kept eating the tomatoes before I could get to them. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Gulim; font-size: medium;">They look a little droopy but by the next morning they came back just great. There are 3 different tomatoes plants, two peppers, two cucumbers and a zucchini plant. </span><br />

Ours was really nice and laid back. Of course I had to make a Easter banner for the occasion. I found cardboard bunny cutouts at Michaels. Almost all my banners are made from these cutouts. For every season or holiday they have cut out that match or relate so they work so perfect for banners. They really are originally made for creating mini albums but that<span style="font-size: medium;">'</span>s what crafting is all about. Finding things that might not be made for what you want to use them for. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;">The bunny<span style="font-size: medium;">'</span>s tail was a big thought process. I was going to use a big white fuzzy ball but I couldn<span style="font-size: medium;">'</span>t find one big enough. I didn<span style="font-size: medium;">'</span>t want to use cotton ball plus I didn<span style="font-size: medium;">'</span>t have any big enough. While I was looking around Michaels I did see hair clips that were felt flowers. </span></div>
