all I want is cake and other ramblings

So, I made it to the end of day three with out any CHEATING.  I must say I am super proud of myself.  The past two days at my office there have been two GIANT sheet cakes with luscious white icing...the smell has driven me to chew about 6 pieces of sugar free gum.  I just don't understand how something that delicious smelling can be so bad.  Boooo!  I rewarded myself tonight by going to Target and buying a brand new digital scale and when I got home...that scale told me I have lost one pound.  I will try again in the morning. 

In all honesty, "South Beach" does let you eat some pretty awesome food and make you more aware of the crazy amounts of sugar in everything.  I can see why it is a lifestyle change for so many people.  I think these good habits will stick with me forever.  Again, I must mention how very blessed I am to have such supportive people in my life. 

Ok....I got a few new kits in the past few days and I have been busy dreaming up new projects.  I love the inspiration of color right now.  I honestly feel hungry for it.  The first kit is from Scrap in Style TV and it was called, "Kitchy, Kitchy, Koo."  I think it is sold out.  It was a cool bunch of vintage findings and then that really cool houndstooth gaffers tape you see in the project.  I also finally, finally got the bind-it all machine and I have been having a blast making minis out of anything I can find.  I really am a mini girl I have a HUGE basket of them in my living room. Newest mini book below, "Good Times."  (Click to enlarge image.)

I was also excited to see the the winner of my OWOH giveaway received her painting.  It was a nice experience to make someones day a little brighter.  Lastly, I leave you with this question. 

What is your favorite word recently?  My has been delicious.  LOL!  I guess I have food on the brain.  I am currently working on a project inspired by illustration Friday based on words.

be well.

Hey, a pound is a pound is a pound! It's a lot. It's like you went and cut a 4stick box of butter off your leg. Or something less graphic. :)

Getting on the scale is such a pain - it never says what you want it to say and when it says less than we hoped for we feel so bad!!! I think it's hard to stick to any kind of "eating program" no matter what it is, especially when we are surrounded by tempting goodies. I admire you for your stamina with those sheet cakes!!

Glad to see you creating and posting!! I've missed you!
