Heidi Swapp - Week 2

I am finally getting all caught up with school, so I can get all
caught up with this wonderful class! :)

I got my kit today! Holy Cow was it awesome! I will be
sure and take a picture...

For right now, here is my Week 3 Assignment. I love that
I was challenged - I never use orange!

Now I have to get ready to take a Mid Term this week.

Yuck.

Mystery Designer Game

Here is a fun game to play at Circle Back Studio... Just take the
quiz and see if you can guess the mystery designer... I failed
horribly... LOL But you can still win prizes!

Check it out!





















Have fun! :)

CHA Winter 2007 Preview

I am running a little behind on my Year to Remember progress,
blame it on the research paper I had to write this week... LOL

So, I hope to be finishing up my Week 2 project and getting on
to Week 3 soon.

In the meantime, here is a peek at all the sweet things to look
forward to from CHA Winter 2007!

WOWZA! I would like one of everything please... ;)

Small Change

Okey dokey... We are starting Week 2 of the class and we need
to do a layout about our goals. So. Looking at that assignment,
I think I need to choose one goal to center on for the class.

With the class inspiring my creativity, I thought it would be
fitting to choose that type of goal. So here is the edited version
of last week's assignment:

Scrapbooking: Make time for my art! Do at least 200 layouts
and projects this year. DUE DATE: Dec 31st 2007

2. List 5 reasons Why:

1. Scrapbooking is me time. I need more me time to be
a more centered person.

2. Assigning time for scrapbooking will make me happier.

3. More layouts means less photos in boxes!

4. I want to give more scrapbooking type gifts this year, so
setting this goal will help me get those done.

5. I need to use up my existing supplies! I am swimming
in scrapbooking supplies that are just waiting to be nice
layouts.

I can sooo get this done! I will be sure and share my photos
and my layout later this weekend... :)

Now don't get me wrong - I am still going to look hot in
that bikini by the 4th of July! :D Now to find a way to
scrap AND do cardio at the same time... :D

Heidi Swapp Week 1 - Life Challenge

I am liking this class already - I can't wait till the goodies ship!!

I decided to keep my journal online so my scrappin buddies
could share in the class experience. Here are the results for
my first week of class.

1. Set your goal. Set a date to accomplish it.

I was so torn between a scrapbooking goal, and a fitness goal,
so I decided to do both.

Scrapbooking: Make time for my art! Do at least 200 layouts
and projects this year. DUE DATE: Dec 31st 2007

Fitness: Look good in a bikini by the 4th of July! I have almost
lost my goal weight (last year's goal). I just need to tone up and
lose that holiday flab that crept up on me. :) Why is that so
easy to put on?? DUE DATE: Jul 4th, 2007

2. List 5 reasons Why:

1. Scrapbooking is me time. I need more me time to be
a more centered person.

2. I have always wanted to look good in a bikini. I have
never ever ever worn one in public.

3. Getting back into a workout and healthy eating habit is
good for my health and well-being.

4. When I eat healthier, my family eats healthier.

5. I need to use up my existing supplies! I am swimming
in scrapbooking supplies that are just waiting to be nice
layouts.

3. Determine something you will tell yourself every day to
keep motivated.

YOU ARE WORTH IT. Make the time.

4. Enlist support. Tell someone who will encourage you
throughout the process.

Done. Dave will hold me accountable. ;)

5. Take photos representing your goal.

Done. I will be sure and share them here soon!

BONUS: Create and write in your journal.

Also done. I am blogging my progress, but am also keeping an
offline journal. You KNEW I couldn't resist altering one. :)
This is my altered journal:



Week 1 done! :)

Happy New Year!

Wow - 2006 is gone. Where the heck did it go?? We had a great
holiday season. We spent lots of time together as a family...
Dave had almost two weeks off - it was glorious. We slept in,
stayed in our PJs and just did nothing. It was great.


But now back to reality... I love the new year. I love the fresh
start that January 1st brings...


Speaking of a fresh start, the Heidi Swapp: A Year to Remember
class at Big Picture Scrapbooking started today! I am so excited
about this class. This week's assignment is nothing short of
inspiring...

This week is a life challenge. I have to think about a goal and set
a date to accomplish it. I love this assignment as the new year is
all about new goals... A bonus assignment is also to start a
journal and write about this goal. What better place to journal
than here? :)

Awesome - I can't wait to start!
