Colorstology

So I did this layout as part of an online challenge several years ago. There is a website called Colorstrology that basically uses some voodoo, mumbo-jumbo to tell you what your personal color is depending on the day you were born. This color also supposedly offers some insight into your personality. The idea behind the challenge was to go to the site, find your color and then do a scrapbook page about it. It is all a little too "hippie - free-spirited" for me, but bottom line is that I loved the way the page turned out. I was going for a very graphic, advertisement feel, and I think I achieved it. And if you want to, check out the website. Let me know what your color is and what it says about you.

Weight Loss, Goals & a Little Present for Myself

So I'm not sure how many of you are aware that I am trying very hard these days to get down to a healthy weight. The pounds have really been not so much creeping up on me, but pouncing quite quickly lately, and I am not liking the way I am feeling. So I've once again joined Weight Watchers, since I was so successful on their program years ago, and I really feel like I have the determination and the will to do this. I've lost over 6 pounds so far, and I have a lot more to go, but I've decided that before I reach my goal I'm buying one of these for myself:





Isn't she cute! And yes it's a she.

I know I'm not going to be doing the MS150 anytime soon, and definitely not on this bike, but what I am going to do is plop my big butt down on that cushy seat, buy a basket for it and fill it with flowers, and cruise around the neighborhood, confident that I'm gonna stick to my plan, and knowing that I'm gonna be one hot mama in a few months. (Phew, that was quite a run on.) It's a nice image don't ya think. The hard part is going to be picking the color - pink, red, baby blue, orange, purple or green? What would you pick?

What I Like About Me

So I haven't put anything on my blog in a while, and I haven't posted any scrapbook pages in a very long while. So I though I'd post an older page just for fun. This is one I did for a circle journal I am doing with my sister Catherine. The basic idea is that I come up with a topic, do a page in the journal, pass it on to her and she does a page on the same topic. Then she comes up with the next topic and sends it back to me. It has progressed quite slowly, only because I haven't got my sorry butt in gear and done my pages. It always seems to sit at my house for about a year and then move on to her. She finishes her's up in a couple of weeks, and then it sits on my desk for another year, but I digress. This is one I did about myself, obviously. I really like it except for the fact I took the photos without any makeup on. I'm sort of regretting that now, as I can see the crow's feet around my eyes. Father Time shows no mercy.

(Once again, you can click on the page and it will enlarge enough that you can read the journaling, if that interests you.)

Isn't She Lovely!

I finally have a Rebel! EEE!! Can you tell I'm excited. The man in brown delivered her this afternoon. I'm waiting for the batteries to charge and then I'm gonna have some fun. Here are the specs: Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT (a.k.a. 350D) 8.0 Megapixel, SLR, (Black) with Canon 17-85mm EF-S IS USM Lens & a Crumpler 5 Million Dollar Home Camera Bag in red, of course.
