Its been awhile.....

It has been a while since I have written anything, a lot of that has to do with the fact that I fell off of the no shopping wagon, and when I say fell off, I mean took a nose dive so hard it still hurts. I am so ashamed. I realize I have a serious problem. Its so much more serious than I thought. I know I can conquer this issue, but it will take a lot of hard work and a lot of control damage needs to be done. I cant wait to be debt free and living more simple. I need to make a lot of changes in my life.. like not eating healthy foods and I need to start moving more, stop spending so much time TV watching .. by the way in case anybody was curious..  I haven't lost any weight and I had my triglycerides tested and after 3 months of medication, they went up, soooooo its a new beginning for me...I have no other options. :)

 I did manage to get some craft projects done, the last time I blogged I told you about a challenge my bead guild did and the theme was southwestern, well I showed you the earrings i made and the beads I was going to use for the bracelet but I didn't have the bracelet done yet, so here it is ... It seems like once I begin beading I become addicted so I also made another bracelet, not for the challenge just for fun, and here it is....

I also started on home made Christmas gifts, only have 1 done so far, but i am happy with it... Its for my sister and my nephew. I guess its not 100% done, I still have some touch up on the frame that needs done; I want to distress the frame, I had bought the frame on the clearance rack at Kohl's because it had a few scratches. Also in the picture the glue is still wet, so it looks super sloppy, but I am confident that it will look great when I am done.
