Laneal's Birthday..Homemade card

We went to a really nice French Restautant in one of our history houses in town. "La Bell" I had the Oh La La salad, it was very good. Ruth is in the picture too, she is a sweet lady too. I was going to take more pictures but the lighting was not good. It was a Oh La La afternoon. Then I went to see Trevor, his ankle is still swelling alot. But he is coming along well.

Today is lunch with the girls...also a Birthday lunch for my friend Laneal. Laneal and I worked together with the youth of our church...a lot of great memories. I made the envelope as well as the cupcakes...Put on glitter to the cherries. Life is a bowl of cherries, but a cup cake makes it even better. Hope your day is full of good things:) This is the front of the card.....

Here is the inside of the card....yes, I did take a bite out of this cupcake, low calerie!

It's a start!

It starts with having a front cover, it took awhile to decide how I wanted it to look. Today it all came together....patients, some glue and a lot of fun, and the black marker helped. The inside is card stock, so with some paint, paste, and a little fun it should be a real adventure for me. I have been dragging my feet because this will be the first one I have done about my time, my days, my feelings....so we will see... click to enlarge. I made the door to welcome you in... Looking forward to taking you on this journey with me:)

Laughter

Wouldn't it be wonderful if you could laugh your way to being thin. I found this and believe me I did get a big smile. I have been getting things ready for a Journal that would somehow share this time. The really good days and the hard days, and the disappointing days. I think the expectations can be the worst part...if I do this, that and just everything I should that the pounds will come off. The body is a mystery for sure....and we ask so much of it. If I deprive it then it should do what I want it to do. Just a few days of eating wrong and I would be back to square one in a matter of a couple of days. Click on picture to read...
It is sunny today but to cold go out and really enjoy it. So the dogs and I are in and out...
Trying to figure out how to do this Journal....Yikes!!!!!
