Wishful Wednesday

It's been a VERY long time since I did a Wishful Wednesday post so I really need to buckle down and start posting on a regular basis again.

Today, I really wish that someone would be so gracious and give me a shopping spree with my favorite Stampin' Up Demonstrator, Angela Waters. There's so much I need (ok..want)!

I kid you not, I have 2 spreadsheets just for my Stampin' Up stuff. I have one for inventory and one "Wish List". Yes, it's that bad people. My wish list is $3,000.00 worth of stuff but it's all stuff I need. (Need sounds so much better than want...get off my back!).

For those of you who don't know, I use Stampin' Up products to handmake all my cards and to do my scrapbooks with but there is soo much more to do. I'll have to take some pictures of Angela's creations next time I see her so ya'll can see everything. It's amazing!

My Christmas cards are coming along mighty nicely though. Can't wait to have them all finished! I think ya'll might just be impressed. :)

Just Because

Just because I am bored and super lame today, I present to you 75 questions you've been dying to ask me. Ok...not really, but like I said, I'm bored and really need something to do for the next 30 minutes. Feel free to not read all of them. :)

So proud of my mom!

Mom and I went shopping Saturday for her some new clothes. All of hers are falling off. Literally. For as long as I can remember, my mom has always been overweight. She finally decided that she is going to do something about it. In May she started seeing a weight-loss doctor. With the help of the proper vitamins, exercise and the right diet, I am so proud to say that my mom has lost almost 60 pounds in 5 months. She is up to walking 2.5 miles a day too!

It was actually fun clothes shopping with her for once. She only has one more size to go before she can't wear the jeans at the plus size store anymore! YAY! We even got to go to a department store and she was able to try on some clothes there. She hasn't been able to do that in 20 years probably.

I couldn't believe the difference in her attitude when we were shopping. She was excited to actually be trying on clothes.

I have a before and after picture below. The before picture was taken at my wedding in January. She was at her heaviest point then.

Before

After (before shopping so her shirt is still really baggy)

I am so very proud of her. I am so happy that she is getting healthy and will be able to run around with her grandchildren. Love you mom!
