Last week I mentioned that I started a program called Whole30, and I also shared my addiction to sugar. You can read about that HERE. After writing that post I had my first weigh in. When you're on this program, your not supposed to weigh yourself until the end. But, because I have struggled to get these pounds off that I gained, I wanted to see where I was at. I just needed that confirmation that indeed this was working. When I got on the scale I was 4 lbs lighter! Well, that was a nice surprise, and I wasn't really expecting it.  I cheated again today, and  jumped on the scale this morning. And I am now in a total of 6 lbs lighter since starting this journey. Today marks 14 days of my sugar free life, and I don't miss it one bit. I am being completely honest when I tell you ... View Post

Simple Transfer Method 1 Gel Decoupage I found a little stool at the thrift shop of course. I have no idea what it was used for originally because it's so small. But I knew I would figure out a way to give it new life again. Then it hit me! I decided to use my simple transfer method using my 1 gel decoupage glue. This stuff is amazing!

I am working on several projects at once, I'll have lots to share soon as far as DIY and decorating, but in the mean time, in between some of my projects, I will be sharing posts on other subjects. Because I am one person doing it all, I can't do or share everything at once. Today, I wanted to talk about how I edit my photos. If you write a blog and share photos or even if you don't, it is important to know how to edit photos. I know it can be intimidating, but I am here to tell you that using Lightroom is not scary at all. I do use PicMonkey, but I only use it for graphics. I no longer edit my photos with PicMonkey. My photos have come a long way since I started my blog. I started out with a point and shoot camera, and then upgraded to a Sony DSLR camera. Once I upgraded my ... View Post

Sugar Addiction Sugar addiction is real, I've been dealing with this monkey on my back since I was a child. Today I wanted to get really personal and share my story. I'm hoping that this may be helpful to you or someone you love. Recently I shared that I just started going through menopause. You can read about that HERE. This story starts when I was a child, that's when my sugar addiction started. I remember at a young age, going to a small convenience store to get my fix of sugar. And I remember doing this one day before school. Oh, that must have made my teacher happy. I grew up in the 1970's...... Do you remember those sugar straws, apple flavored Bubs Daddy gum, and Wacky Waffers? Still to this day, my mouth waters thinking about those candies. Oh and do you remember ... View Post
