Morning ladies!! What’s up for today? I have a tonne of scrap items on my ‘to do’ list I need to get crossed off.. so hoping to accomplish lots today.. my mojo has been scarce the last few days, so haven’t done much really, but today i’m hoping for more! I have my L’il Scrappers GOT KIT reveal coming on Saturday, so check back for that! It’s yum!!

The other night I did end up watching Gran Torino, and I have to tell you, this is the BEST movie i’ve seen in years… I absolutely loved it! Clint Eastwood is such an amazing actor.. he also directed/produced this movie… just awesome!! If you haven’t seen it yet, i’d be putting it on your list!! Shows how ignorance can be changed, and really how giving love can be! I can’t say enough about this wonderful movie… don’t miss it!!

Also… I was super excited to step on the scale today and see another lb. gone!! That puts me at a grand total of 20lbs lost in 8 1/2 weeks!! I’m so proud of myself! *blush* I also decided to ditch my workout DVD’s for now and switch things up… so yesterday I ran for 35 minutes straight!! No stopping!! I’m amazed at how my health levels have changed over the course of 2 months.. I feel awesome, look much better, and have went from a sz.11 to a sz.7!! I still want to lose another 10lbs (maybe 15) for sure & tone up more.. i’m 5′8″, so that’ll make me nice and lean! I have a very small frame, so I feel best at the lower end. Dh says no more than 10lbs, he wants some ‘curves’ at least he says.. hahaha!! So 10 it may be… He’s been sooo awesome & supportive of me!! I couldn’t do it without him… he bought me weights, a pedometer I really wanted, and is bringing me home new healthy foods & organic health drinks, etc.. to try! I’m lucky to have him!! Ok.. i’m done gushing about myself now… sorry… just had to share ’cause i’m so proud! lol!!

Another thing i’m super excited about… one of my best buds, Heidi, is opening up an online stamp store called “The Stamp Shoppe“!!! Featuring what stamps you ask!? MAGNOLIAS!!! And her Canadian prices are AMAZING and competitive to US prices!!! You CANNOT beat that!! You can see her new blinkie to the right side of my blog, and i’ll post more info tomorrow!! For now here’s a sneak peek of one of the absolutely adorable stamps she’ll be carrying… i’m not much of a stamper, but I do LOVE these sweet Magnolia’s… i’d buy them all if I could! haha!!!
