Yesterday, I had my FIRST weigh in with the new program at WEIGHT WATCHERS. I could not believe that I had LOST 4 lbs. I guess you could say I was "testing" to see if the program really works. I did eats LOTS of fruit (I mean lots!!!) and stayed true to my 29 daily Points Plus allowance. I never cheated and so it was a nice surprise- I NEVER felt hungry. I really have wanted to focus this past year on getting healthier. For me, traveling has been a big challenge to keep it all in check. I even traveled to CA last weekend so it was REALLY nice to know that you can travel and lose weight. I ate at In n' OUT twice since it was walking distance from the scrapbook store. (I had a hamburger protein style (no bun, no sauce- wrapped in lettuce, and added lots of pickles, lettuce, etc.) So I will keep you posted if this program how this program is working for me. I know that I love fruit so this is a really good fit for me!

Soon, I am going to my friends funeral. I know it will be a hard day for the family. I view funerals as a celebration of someones life and I focus on being thankful that they were apart of this wonderful world for a time.

TODAY.... I am giving away a NICE prize from THERM.O.WEB. I will share with you that they immediately said yes to doing this with me. I love that they wanted to GIVE & SHARE some of my favorite things with you.

 ONE LUCKY PERSON will WIN the THERM.O.WEB collection of goodies TODAY!!!!!

Finally, a little inspiration for the holidays-

 Here is a December DAILY altered BOX -
Cheri Piles has outdone herself with her creative mad skills. I love it!

Directions:

For the exterior of the Box:

To start I removed all of the hardware from the box. Attach the binder mechanism to the inside then wrap the sides & back in the 'Cards and notes paper'. Re-attach all of the hardware.

 

For the Front:

Cover in the 'Red Damask side B paper', place letters on the right side for the words Merry & Bright, inking over them and then remove the letters with Undo. Cut 'Red letters transparency' to size and adhere to front (I put my adhesive in the middle of the transparency knowing the corners would help keep it in place too!) Cut a 1/4 inch strips from the notes paper, inking the edges for the bottom border, then roll a few and glue together to create circles and attach to the bottom right.

 

Paint the smaller wood pieces and corner pieces in silver and while WET dip them in Gentry's glitter setting aside to dry. Paint the larger wood piece in Gold - when dry paint on the crackle paint and glue one of the silver wood pieces to the bottom. 

 

TIP: When adhering the wood pieces only glue them to the box not the cover. I opened the box up, glued 3/4 of the pieces with 1/4 over the edge (where the cover would be if the box was closed) so when the box is closed it appears as if they are centered on the box.

 

Select your desired tags and embellishments for your centerpiece, BEFORE I attached my center I tied all my ribbon & McKay's Gems to one of Taylor's clips and attached that to the embellishment then I attached all of the embellishments' to the center.

 

For the pages:

I layed out all of my page protectors over an extra large table for an assembly line, then I placed all of my numbers from the 'Countdown paper' and all of the embellishments, tags, ribbons, envelopes and jewels as desired and adhered to the fronts of the page protectors. I cut all of the remaining paper from the Noel line and slid them inside the page protectors. I punched holes in the page protectors and put them in the box.

I loved her book and knew you would too. THANKS Cheri!!!!!
