yard sale finds

well the yard sale at scrappy chic was sunday....it was insane..people were wrapped around the front of the building waiting to get in for the sale...!!! hey...we like a deal.....!! there was so much stuff..to dig through..and yes..it was like digging for treasures...I didn't go to nuts but wanted to post some of the treasures I picked up....My friend renee picked up a couple things that she knew I had to have along her way..like those stamps...yum!! we had those in rubons and loved them!!! and 2 packs of heidi swapp chipboard hearts....that I use like crazy!! all this stuff was in a grab bag!! of rubons......love it!!
Yesterday was the orientation for dorsey school...it went really well...we got all our questions answered...and everytime we go back to the school it feels a little more comfy!! on one of our papers yesterday it was how to for student survival!! this one hit home "It's not as bad as you think...it is just new!!! that is so me!!!! so I am gonna hang on to that quote...today I go and take the test to see where you are as far as smarts...hee,hee...yep..little worried about that one...but she said there is no fail or pass, it's just to see how you're doing!!

last night was the first weigh I've missed....since I started (besides x-mas break) and you know what it didn't go well!! I didn't fall of the wagon as far as eating "bad" stuff...but I over did it on the good stuff!! yes that's possible...because it really comes down to the calories!! but that is when it comes handy to have your support system...which I know she is going to yell at me for not calling her....but I wanted to see if I could pull it together first...but it has been tough..and I will call her today, but I wondered how it would go without the accountability..and you know what it didn't go well....so I am well aware that I will be going to those meetings for a long time!! and they know that if I don't show up...it's probably time for a home visit!!!

hey staci, just wanted to let you know that when i went back to school i had to take one of those tests and i placed in the lowest math class. i was so bummed but it turned out to be the best thing! I accelerated in my math classes because starting it from scratch made it all make sense and i finally got started getting A's in all my math classes. So if you don't score well, don't worry..it'll pay off in the end!

You are so funny! At least you know that you need the accountability. Looks like you got some real treasures at the yard sale....I know you will be all over the rubbons!

Congrats on going back to school! That's so awesome! I always wonder if someday when my kids are older, I'll go back...I just LOVE those Creative Imaginations stamps! I have been looking for those FOREVER! I know I saw them once somewhere...maybe M's, HL...don't know and didn't get them and now I can't find them anywhere! I keep doing an online search to see if I can find a place that has them, but I've had no luck! :( Can you please give me the exact name on them so I do a more defined search. Thanks!! :)

Thank you for the info on the stamps, Staci!! I'm going to see if I can find them! I found several sites that had them in acrylic, but I'm thinking I would prefer the rubber stamps. Thanks for the compliments on my pages. I visit your blog daily to see what awesome stuff you have come up with...totally dig your style. And to see how you are doing on your weight loss. I admire your determination and how you've stuck to it for so long!! Keep up the awesome work! :)

As long as you eat good food, can't be bad for you.

I love the stamps!
