Update

Once again, keeping this blog updated has not worked out. Here's some of the crafts I completed in the past few weeks.


This is not quite done yet. I still need to get some photos of Chip and me printed and added to this chipboard album (covered in scrapbook paper).



This is a set of cards I made. It will be a gift for someone, for something :).






One of these will be a gift (for my soon to be 2 yr. old nephew who loves trucks) and the other one is currently displayed in my living room :).



I also did a bunch of pages in my doggie scrapbook but I don't have any really good pics.


As far as weight loss, I have been losing about a pound a week! Yeah! Easter set me back a bit, but I am back on track now :). I also started including spin classes in my workouts.


On the homefront, my garden is going sorta strong. Some stuff is growing and some stuff I am restarting indoors again. Here's a picture of my squarefoot garden when I first made it.





Chip and I also spent some time 2 weekends ago redoing the landscaping in the front of the house. We took out some dead plants and put in easy to maintain plants. Once they grow a bit, they'll be even better.


This was the before picture. (We had already removed the really dead bush when I took this picture). Chip and I hosted Easter dinner this past Sunday. Our friends DJ and Sara from Baltimore came down to visit. So, of course, they were there, as well as Katie and Eric and Alicia and Mike. It was the first time I used the China I got when my grandparents died. Here's the table all set up.


And.... I am thisclose to being done with painting all the trim in the house white! I just need one more coat on half of the kitchen (by the windows). I will finish that this week. Once Chip finishes his small part (the crown molding in 3 rooms), I will post pics! Yay!
