October already!!

I just cant believe it, how fast does the time goes. This is my favorite time of year, because it all starts with change. I love how the colors of the leaves on trees change, it's like a new beginning. It's like having a second chance to blossom all over, but in a different light.
This time of year is when I stop and think what to I want to change about me, well of course it would be my weight, before Thanksgiving I would love to lose at least 10 pounds, is it possible yes, but I have to CHANGE my eating habits. I don't think eating 2 mini MR. Goodbar's is good at 9pm. Or my favorite coolatta coffee from Dunkin Dounuts (vanilla bean) will help either. UHM so what am I going to change, I think it will be my perspective on my life. I just need to be happy in the skin that I am in and change not because of the weight, but because of my health. You know I am not going to stay healthy eating junk food, so today I will try to just eat healthy. Can I live without my Coolatta yes, can I live with out my French Vanilla coffee (maybe), but I will try.
I challenge you all to create a layout using the word Change in it!! Have fun, email me with your layout and I will enter you in a drawing for a RAK!!!

Scrapping the Music

OMG I just received an email today letting me know that I made the DT at Scrapping the Music. It's a totally cool blog, I'm so excited to be a part of this amazing group of ladies. Woo Hoo!!!!!

I need your help

Now let me share with you something on a more serious note, as you are all probably aware that October is Breast Cancer awareness month, well the ladies at Scrapncircle are hosting their very first Crop for a cure, it will be a week long. This is very important to me, as my grandmother passed away from Breast Cancer before I was born, I wish that then there could have been a cure, or even more technology, medicines so that I would have had the opportunity to have met her. My mother was 13 when my grandmother died and she was a middle child of ten children the youngest was 4. It was a sad time for my grandfather to have to raise all these children on his own, due to a disease which still claims so many lives even now. Yes we do have more information, but we need a cure. So I am asking for you to take some time out and help us raise money for a cure. Here is some information about the crop for a cure.

I need sponsors for Crop for a cure, you can either give one set amount, or $1 for every layout or project I create. So if I create just 7 layouts for the week then you donate $7. Again read over the rules over at Scrapncircle
Above is a layout of my grandmother

WOO HOO

Well I got this card a few weeks ago from Sprint my PCS carrier and normally I throw these things out, but I kept looking at the card and thought. WOW this has so many possibilities. I can use this wonderful card as inspiration. How? Well look at all the colors, the messages on the side can be journaling on the page, and lets not forget the squares so I challenge you all to create card or layout using this card as inspiration. Email me with your entries, and I will post here. Have fun.
