Resolution

Well as I stated before I am working on a Bikini Body... Well that is not going well at all... I have not gotten back on the Wii since I got it all set up... But I will, I have to..... I am doing a new blog about my ups and downs of this journey... The only thing that is keeping me going is CUBA!!!!  my Hubby said that we can go to Cuba if I achieve my goal... Well he does not want to go so this will be something that he is willing to do for me when I get my Bikini Body... Well I think I might want to ring in the new year in Cuba so that will be my goal on top of the Bikini Body.................

Well have a great day.

Prayers for my Aussie Friends and Followers

Good morning,
I am just sending a my thoughts and prayers to all of my Aussie friends and followers.  I hope that you are all safe and the Floods stay away.  I wish I could say I know what you are going through but I can't... The closest thing is a storm that hit here last August 2009 and wiped out our crops - it is still devastating.

Wish your homes and land to be safe and your treasures whatever that may be dry.

Treasure Tuesdays - aka Treasure Mondays

I was in Blog Land today and over at The House on the Side of the Hill has a post about her Treasure Tuesdays - and today it is buttons.... Well I just had to join in as I love a lot of different things so I have a button where you can click and go to her blog and check it out and sign up to be a part...

Today my Treasure is something that I received from my Uncle when he was in Zimbabwe working at the airport (I think) as I was a very little girl when he gave these to me... They are carved out of stone and weigh a lot.... I keep watching Pawn Stars (on the History Channel) and I think I want to go to Vegas just to see what these are worth - not that I would sell them as they are mine....



I hope that you have enjoyed my Treasure Tuesday (well today is Monday, Aussies are a day ahead of us Canadians)

Rotary & Blades Lost

well today was the day that I was going to start working on my Blocks for my Swaps and well, I have no idea where I put my rotary cutter and I bought a pack of 5 blades, and I don't know where those are as well....
So of course I had to ask my Hubby as he does not like me quilting at all....nope he has not seen them and such... Well I am stumped at where I could have placed these.  So I guess tomorrow after swimming lessons, I will be going to Wal-Mart and getting me a new Rotary so that I can start cutting fabric and doing my blocks.
So I have to make 2 blocks for my quilt swaps and 2 blocks for Raggedy and Friends, with nothing to cut with....I can't even do the stitchery for the Raggedy and Friends :(
But the really funny thing is that I am constantly losing my seam ripper, and I know where that is.... I guess that is what happens when you try and organize yourself when you are not a organized person....

This morning I awoke to some snow, then about my second cup of coffee, I let the puppies out and it was snowing... So I thought I would share a picture of the Snow that we are having here in Alberta.  My Hubby is going to have a busy day today doing the chores or should I say WE are going to have a busy day as I am sure that I am going to have to go out and swing the gates to bed the animals....

Oh, I just thought that I would let you know while this was up loading... I did another search and long and behold I FOUND my lost rotary,  Blades NO but Rotary YES!!!!

I am sitting here while we have company, and I am thinking Should I or Should I not make a resolution this year...  I have never kept them in the past so I am thinking not... But then I was thinking seeing how I have this Blog if I do, do one I will have to be accountable for what I do.
So when we (hubby and son) were in the pool this morning, there were a few ladies, that had bikini's on.  Of course, we as women are very judgemental on our self etc. well there were a few that I feel should not have been wearing this type of bathing suit.  So I said to hubby, this day next year I am going to have a bikini body, and a well sculptured one at that, but only if I choose to wear a bikini.  My hubby liked that idea, so I guess that was my first resolution - Bikini Body.  With my Craftiness, I have decided to get my Scrapbooks up today - Which means I have to start working on them.  I am so far behind on my Gone To Texas that this really needs to be done before the end of 2011.  Well I think that this is enough but you know I think that I might only keep one of these, can you guess which one????

  1. Bikini Body
  2. Scrapbook - updated
  3. Gone To Texas
In order to get this Bikini Body, I am going to have to start working out - I got the Biggest Loser Wii game - and I am currently reading a book - Skinny Chicks Don't Eat Salads which is not a diet it is a life change so I have to finish this book and get started on my new healthy life.  I hope to have this book done by mid next week... Fingers Crossed

Scrapbook - Well I have to get my broken computer to Staples and have John look at it to get this off and onto my new one...  So when I get money for this it will be done...

Gone To Texas - well I will have to be in that kind of frame of mind to get this done....  It will be done (completely) Top, Quilted, Binded - and in use.

Well I done it, hopefully this will happen if for nothing else....for my health and get things done.
