S'mores Cookies

All I can say is that I made 36 cookies and they lasted approximately three hours.

Weight Loss

So I thought I'd do a little before and after shot. Although, this is not really after, it's more like "at present" So It's been 1.5 months and I've lost 22.5 lbs. Yay! I hope I can keep that up for the next 1.5 months. ;-)

A day of mourning.

Okay, I'm not really in mourning. It's just that my bed head flat iron finally kicked the bucket. It did last me a good 4+ years, which seems pretty good. Too bad I don't have enough $$ for another, or a Chi. Oh well. So here's the new one. We shall see how it works;-)

Bridal Shower!!!

These were a great idea. But they so did not work. The sherbet didn't stay hard... I'll have to work on that.

Somehow I managed to get umbrellas that were twice the size of normal drink ones. Totally thought they only had one size. Haha.

Love this one of me and my sister!!!

The magic is in the pouf.

Here it is. That sign in the back says congratulations in Hawaiian!

LOVE this alternative to a guest book. I mean, what can you do with a guest book anyway? Just store it away and look at people's names. This is cool because it's like a piece of art;-)

Now that's funny.

Besides the weird face I'm making, I like this picture;-)

And this one of me and my grandma!!!

Barb reminds me of the Statue of Liberty.

And the magic behind the party. Haha.

Mom & Jerri!!
Mint water is great.

Love this handmade garland!

Check it out.

I thought this was a rad dress.

And this is cute.

I am so making these, when I'm on the off days of my diet;-)

This is such an adorable party!

That's all for now. Lately I'm working on alot of stuff for my sister's Bridal shower. Which is great fun. It'll be happening on Saturday...pics to follow.

All this = fun!

When
I
am
done with the actual party. I'll show you what this is all for!

Sigh

So, I've been feeling a little down lately, as moat of you most of you might know. It's hard losing a job. And right now we have lost more money going out than coming. We are in need of some financial blessing to reign down, as I'm sure some of you do.

Also, I've been on a diet. I've lost 15 lbs so far and it's been three weeks. However, I've been on this plateau for about five days now. I just keep going up, down, up, down. Super annoying. I've heard that stress is not good fir weight loss... Blah.

I hope something happens quick or I might go insane.

Tissue Paper Flowers

So these flowers are much like the larger pom poms I made. First start with approximately 6 2" squares of tissue paper.
Then take all the pieces, line them up and fold them accordian style.
After that, cut the ends of the paper into a point.
Then take a piece of wire however long you'd like the stem and twist it around the middle of the paper. You can also use pipe cleaners, if you prefer;-)
Next comes the fun part. All you need to do us fluff up the layers of tissue paper.

The three and a half hour bike ride.

So the little bro and I decided to go for a bike ride. We down to hwy 99 in Vancouver and to Kline Line park, through the trails behind the softball fields, then to applebees, and back home again. It was fun. We got chased down by a crazy German Shephard.
We stopped at the crick for some pictures;-)
I thought this picture was cool.
More glamour shots.

And that's how I spent last Friday. What did you do with your Friday?
