It's been awhile I know.

Or 6 months.

But in my defense, BIG THINGS have been afoot. Here's a quick list to catch up:

• I spent approximately 110% of my time at the gym
• I lost 60 POUNDS and wear a smaller size than I have in 10 YEARS.
• I started educating myself on whole foods and have instituted a MUCH healthier lifestyle for my family.
• That takes a LOT of work and a LOT of time.
• It's worth every minute.
• Lil Miss started Kindergarden ... :) and oh yes, it is GOOD.
• My average day was - going to the gym, getting Lil Miss to school, then running errands (CAUSE I AIN'T GOT NO KIDS BABY!) then RUSHING back to get them all from school, then homework/making dinner/whatnot - it's a FULL DAY letmetellyou.
• And then I started crafting ...
  
• I took up sewing!
• and crafting beyond my scrapping!
• I LOVE to craft!
• I made all 3 of the girls' costumes for Halloween this year and they were AWESOME.
• I visited Rebecca (aka BEST BESTIE EVER!) in Kennessee and met her BEAUTIFUL new baby :)
• I took some super cute awesome pictures I MUST share!
• Especially since she isn't blogging any more ;-)
• The holidays were crazy.
• It didn't feel like fall (*I* didn't feel fall) until the week of Thanksgiving and that TOTALLY threw me off.
• I tried to do too much (MAKE too much) for Christmas and THAT totally threw me off.
• I really didn't get that "into" the holidays this year since DH has been working apx 110% of the time and we didn't get to do much as a family.
• Yes, it IS great that he's working ... but we miss him a LOT.
• And most recently ...

I started a new blog :)

It started when I noticed that my computer's virtual memory was getting filled up with the eleventy hundred tutorials I had bookmarked. I kept spamming Rebecca's facebook page with links to share my tutorial awesomeness and finally I just thought "Ya know, maybe I could put them on a blog and share with EVERYONE! And that smoke coming from my computer CAN'T be good."

So the new blog was born :) I'm using it to share my craftings and recipes and sweet tutorials I find so I don't have to worry about the smoking computer any more :) Check it out! It's coming together nicely. I'll still be posting here, stories, photos, more stories, hopefully more often!

Til then ... hope you all had a great 6-ish months!
