Feeling quite accomplished today

I decided to try my hand at some Challenge Master projects today. Here are the results:

I made a fabric flower. I haven't found a place to use it yet, so it's just going to sit around and wait for the perfect spot.

A "New" Tag challenge. I love to make tags. The are quick and satisfying.
Challenge Masters also had an Ad/Art challenge that looked promising. I have been wanting to play with my Photoshop program and do some digital layouts. This challenge was just right for what I wanted to do. Everyday I track my progress on improving my lifestyle on Sparkpeople. This list of affirmations are the things I need to concentrate on to help me on my way. I have this layout hanging next to my desk to remind myself that I need to focus on me more often and help myself along the way. I felt quite accomplished today moving digital elements around, in and out of Photoshop as I worked. I am very happy with the results.

Until next time...

Determination...that's what it takes..that's what i have!!!

I found this on Sparkpeople.com today. It touched me and perked me up a bit. Hope it does the same for you.


EVERY WOMAN SHOULD HAVE:

-One old boyfriend you can imagine going back to and one who reminds you of how far you've come.

-A decent piece of furniture not previously owned by anyone else in your family.

-Something perfect to wear if the employer or man of your dreams wants to see you in an hour.

-A youth you're content to move beyond.

-A past juicy enough that you're looking forward to retelling it in your old age.

-The realization that you are actually going to have an old age - and some money set aside to help fund it.

-An e-mail address, a voice mailbox and a bank account - all of which nobody has access to but you.

-One friend who always makes you laugh and one who lets you cry.

- A dog...because dogs are in a category all by itself...a very important category :)

-A set of screwdrivers, a cordless drill and a black lace bra.

-Something ridiculously expensive that you bought for yourself, just because you deserve it.

-The belief that you deserve it.


EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW:

-How to fall in love without losing yourself.

-How to quit a job, break up with a man and confront a friend without ruining the friendship.

-When to try harder and when to walk away.

-The names of: the secretary of state, your great-grandmother and the best tailor in town.

-How to live alone, even if you don't like to.

-That you can't change the length of your calves, the width of your hips or the nature of your parents.

-That your childhood may not have been perfect, but it's over.

-What you would and wouldn’t do for money or love.

-That nobody gets away with smoking, drinking, doing drugs or not flossing for very long.

-Who you can trust, who you can’t and why you shouldn’t take it personally.

-Not to apologize for something that isn’t your fault."

A new year......................already!!

I have been so busy working this holiday season that this blog just seemed to get pushed back and back and BACK. But now the dust is brushed off. I am happy to be creating again. I have some new ideas and plenty to celebrate. Stay tuned, I am creating as we speak.......................................

Ok, ok. It's hours later. I had to make dinner, plan a family trip with my husband, and get my daily exercise in. But I did complete a lovely card today. I have a birthday coming next week. So I made a card I would like to receive myself. And I have the perfect person to mail this card. I love the colors and I hope she does too.
