Big You

-


Hi there! 

It sure feels good to be writing a blog post again. I hate when I can't find the time to create or post. 

It's getting close to a very busy time in the floral department with Easter and Mother's Day both coming up soon. I've been ordering up a storm for the store - lots of pretty pastel colors. It's my favorite time of year at work but a crazy time too, so I won't be around as much as usual for awhile. I will definitely be trying to squeeze in some play time here and there though, otherwise I'll go crazy. I know you can all relate to that!

I do have a couple of cards to share with you using the Big You Die from Simon Says Stamp. I love this die! My first card is a colorful one, created with Gelatos.
                                         
After the Background was dry, I added some black and white splatters. The Big You was cut twice to create a shadow effect. I did the same thing with the little punched hearts. The rest of the sentiment is from the Simon Says Stamp, Hello You clear set, which I white embossed on a piece of vellum. 


I've sent this card to my dear friend, Marcy. She's going through a rough time right now and many of her friends over in the Hero Arts Flickr group decided to send her some cards to cheer her up. Love you, Marce! ♥


My second card is a bit more clean and simple.
                                               
I used the same little punched hearts and the same technique, die and sentiment set, but this time with some woodgrain and aqua colored cardstock. I also used the A2 Card Curved Edge Die. I love aqua paired with silver so I added a touch of it with one of the curved edge die-cuts and with the silver stamped sentiment.


We are waiting (impatiently, I might add) for warmer weather to arrive. It has only been in the high teens to low 20's the past few days. Feels more like January than the end of March. They are telling us that we should be in the mid 50's by Sunday and I cannot wait to feel those warmer temps! Come on spring - get here, would ya please!?

HCG Diet Recipes for your appetite

A number of methods are available to reduce the weight in the world today. One of the key methods of reducing weight is the HCG diet. The protocol reduces strategically diet calorie intake by a person overweight or obese. The diet regime allows the intake of only 500 calories a day. As the body needs more calories, the HCG hormone is injected in measured doses. This stimulates the combustion of all the excess fat accumulated in the body, which reduces the corpodi weight. When a woman becomes pregnant, the placenta produces a hormone called human chorionic gonadotropin or HCG, as it is commonly known. During the period of pregnancy, the hormone controls the metabolic functions of the mother. The hormone protects the baby by providing the necessary nutrients and calories from the mother's body fat accumulation. And 'this unique property hormone that prompted Dr. Albert Simeons, to do an analysis and develop the HCG Diet plan. The HCGormone acts as a dietary supplem...

I'll post about seeing the social worker as soon as I can get my head around the meeting we had - hopefully tomorrow or the day after. Today, a vision of my future, if my children had their way.  MOTHER LOSES COURT HEARIN AS CHILDREN REFUSE TO 'LET IT GO' A Berkshire mother of two was today sentenced after losing a landmark hearing regarding her children's access to the film  Frozen.                              After sentencing, a  tearful Mrs Chapman told the waiting media, "This has all been a terrible misunderstanding. I didn't realise that it was actually The Law that children had to be allowed to watch  Frozen  at least once per day. Now that I know this, my behaviour will change. I'm going to go home and put this right."

               Entrepreneur Joshua Onysko, owner of Pangaea Organics, has two regions to thank for his success. Rhode Island-born Onysko, 31, learned the agriculture and natural products business during volunteering trips to Nicaragua and India during his 20s. And when Onysko launched his skin-care line in 2005, he set up shop in Boulder, Colo., despite time spent on the East Coast and in Jackson Hole, Wyo. It was both a personal and business decision. Boulder offers world-class ski slopes and an abundance of parks, as well as a strong venture capital environment, plenty of like-sized start-ups and high-quality talent from local resident University of Colorado.
