How sweet it is!
Does this box of yummies make you just want to eat one?
Love the colors, love the layout, love chocolate, love this set-period.
Here is another card using Be Mine. It is a new release by MFT (ready for order the 9th).
I LOVE chocolate. So I had a blast making this card.
I used some yummy ribbon my American Crafts, and my cuttlebug embossing folder. I think these colors should be the official Valentine’s Day colors.
I am starting weight watcher’s next week,on the 15th. I chose that day cause everyone starts the first. I want to be in the mindset that I am starting a life style change-not a diet (as Dr. Phil would say).
My goal is to get ALL the chocolate OUT of my house.
NO! I don’t mean throw it away! That is a form of chocolate abuse! I am NOT an abusive person. I will properly dispose of each morsel-myself! LOL!
I am lucky Im not the size of an elephant-with all the coffee I drink (lots of sugar and cream) and chocolate I love. I just have a few pounds that crept up on me through out the year. It mainly starts with the stress eatting when Alexa gets sick, then goes from there.
I drop it in 2 months, then gain it back slowly over the year. GOOD TIMES.
THIS year, I turn 30. So if it kills me I WILL use my exercise machine and get my toned ab’s back! I want to say that I look HOT in my 30’s, not LOOKED Hot for some of my 20’s. No I don’t look HOT now-but I will. BY my 30th birthday May 3rd.
I LOVE the DVD- Turbo Jam! Its only 20 minutes of a great workout! You lose 10 inches in 10 days! Its great. There is also some 10 min. stuff for when you are way crunched for time. Hey its better than munching for 10 min. or sitting on the computer.
OK by better I mean better for your butt.
So tell me if YOU have a new plan to get in better shape this year. Or share a diet you are on or plan to try, exercise video, meal plan-WHATEVER you want! I want to know I’m not alone in this insanity we women put on ourselves 😀
Ok I do have another SWEET idea for you! This one is FAT FREE 😀
I also hope it makes you view everyday items (especially SALE items) differently.
While shopping the discounts at Rite Aid I found this cupcake rack! It was on SALE for only $2.99!!!!!
I decided it would be PERFECT for my smaller bottle of Prima’s, and my Martha Stewart glitter. For photo purposes I did not FILL it. I wanted you to see how it looks.
Since I have the wire racks to store my stamps it fits in so nicely.
Who would think a cupcake rack could be used by a stamper? We are just the most innovative, resourceful, and crafty people on the planet aren’t we?!
THAT being said Debra shared a link with me that blew me away! Check it out
Now that my friends is genius. I would love to actually try it.
Do you have any cool tips or unusual uses you want to share? Post them here!
Share the LOVE!!!
OK, I gotta run. Alexa has pneumonia too. So it will be a long, and late night. We spent the day at the doctor’s. She looks OK, but we need to hope no high fevers-otherwise we are IN HOUSE! Her counts are fabulous though! Thank God! That is good.
Amber is pretty much back to her terrible three’s. Who says 2 is bad? 3 is far worse.
But I love her to pieces and would FREEZE her at this point, as she is adorable. Yes, I am a sucker.
Till tomorrow.

Brilliant…. absolutely brilliant! That’s perfect for all those little embellishments and such. I wonder if you could put it on a lazy susan and have it spin too? I checked out the other blog you mentioned and say the ink pad holders. OMG, what clever ladies you all are!
Alexa has a pheunonia too. Poor thing. Lots of prayers going up for her (and you). I hope she gets through it uneventfully. PTL her counts are good – that’s good news. I’ll be thinking of you guys. 🙂
Really? “Three” is worse than “two”? Now I’m scared…… 🙂 Joey is already a handful. He’ll be three in a couple of months….. Sigh.
Love your card! Totally delicious!
Chocolate hugs,
Renee
Good luck Lauren! I started WW on the 2nd, so it’s almost been a week, it’s going good! I will be posting about it every Wednesday on my blog with a yummy recipe that my family & I have enjoyed during the week. This is like my 6th or 7th time on WW. For this year I just want to become a healthier individual mentally & physically.
…hope Alexa is feeling better soon :}

So sorry that Alexa is now sick. Hope she does not end up at the hospital. Hugs to you all!

Cute card! I agree about the terrible 3s. We had no problems at all with our son at 2, a sweet little angel. When the late 3s hit, OMGoodness! Hope your daughter feels better soon! Love the time out in the next post. lol
Wow – another great Rite Aid find! Was your Rite Aid always a Rite Aid or was it an Eckards? Our Rite Aid doesn’t seem to have any of these cool bargains!
Teresa
That Rite Aid is just a gold mine! I think I need to move . . .
You sure know how to pick up the deals as well as put those cards together!
I’ll be thinking about you and hoping Alexa is OK!!

Hey Lauren, love the rack…..I think when crafty people shop, their minds just work differently and they can see uses for things that others can’t! BTW, I am sympathetic with you about your sweet three-year-old. I always said, whoever coined the phrase “terrible twos” hadn’t gotten to three yet! Hang in there, life with kids never stays the same!
Your card is simply delicious. Love the cupcake holder idea, too.
Very clever idea Lauren! Love the Vday cards! SOOOOO cute!
I have that same cupcake holder! I used mine at a craft fair to hold some of my merchandise. See photo here: http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/photo/712716?cat=12001
As a mother of three myself, the story you described with the bickering kids sounds oh so familiar.
Thanks for sharing your wonderful work.
Ohhhhh, I want one! We don’t have Rite-Aid here, though 🙁
I hope Alexa is feeling better today. Being sick for a child is never fun, but for you have to be that much more careful. I agree, three is far worse than two, because at two you can stilllaugh of their misbehavoir and say its cute. By three, you are saying, “you know better!” I have 3 kids too, so I hear ya!
I wish we had a rite aid here. I would of loved that 2.99 sewing machine. But the cup cake holder is way cut. I have a glass candy jar that i keep alot of my markers in. Susan
love love LOVE the cuppy cake holder. i need one…or two, or maybe one for me and one for my BFF and one for actual cup cakes!
did they have anymore? you should get them and sell them to us!

Oh my gosh that is the cutest rack ever! I must rush to Rite Aid – although I live in California so what are the chances of them having it here:)! Good Luck with the new diet/exercise plan…I did weight watchers about a year and a half ago and lost about 35 pounds. Now I am pregnant so my diet starts June 15th – the day after the baby is born:)!!! I agree, 3 is way more difficult than 2…although my son is 4 and he still gives me a run for my money everyday. Best of luck with Alexa’s sickness, hope she feels better SOON!
Cute card. Last year I went over 6 months not eating a drop of chocolate bar, and I am a chocoholic… my cheat was a mini bite brownie…just no plain chocolate at all. It was way easier once I got going than I imagined it would be. I think I am going to do it again, after I eat the chocolate in my house lol.
