Silent Auction

.......Was a HUGE SUCCESS! We had a pretty good turn-out and the ladies on our team got some pretty fabulous things to auction, about 86 items total! We all made some delicious appetizers and Kim hosted the event at her house. We ended up raising a total of $4000, YAY!

Using my sketches

Katie emailed me with this cute 4th of July LO using this sketch, thanks Katie!

8x8 Sketches

I converted some of my LO's into sketches...

If you use them, I would love to see your finished work so please share!

Disney 8x8 book

I have been working on this yesterday and today, and still have a few pages to go! I ran out of white cardstock, can you believe it?? LOL

More stacked flowers...

...For a swap!

Also, went on a solo 5 mile walk tonight, which brings me to 129 miles altogether!

I met my first goal!!!

I am so excited ladies! When I first decided to do this walk I made myself a small goal to lose a few pounds, and as of this morning I got there! Just by walking, I have lost 20 pounds in 12 weeks! Now to walk off the next 20...

Not much going on...

Kinda quiet the last few days! Aaron just finished his second week of summer day camp and is having fun. They took the kids to a ranch and let them all ride horseback for a little bit. They even sent him home with a picture of it for us!!

I just went on another solo walk tonight, about 4 miles. I found this handy gadget online here where you can zoom into your city and click on the map at various points and it will tell you how far it it in miles, very cool! Also, only NINE WEEKS left until the 3day walk!!!

We also bought a brand-spankin' new mattress last weekend from Macy's over the holiday weekend. It arrived this morning and I have been excited all day to go to bed! We have never bought a new one before. When Kasoma and I moved in together, I brought the bed I had growing up, which was a double we had for a few years. Then we got one from my parents which was a queen, but the last few years it has been torture sleeping on it! Last weekend I just couldn't take it one more night and said let's just do it right now. I will see tonight how comfy it is!

My first sale!!

Woohoo, I am excited! I made my first Etsy sale day before yesterday, one of my Cricut Exp dust covers. Another lady also mailed me some fabric to make her a custom one, yay!
Alos, went on a solo walk last night around town, it was perfect weather too. I made it about 4 miles. That puts me up to 113.5 miles since March!!

Fourth of July

We went to my friend Kim's house for a barbeque and fireworks. The kids stayed up until 11:30 and did pretty good considering! There were a few other kids there and a trampoline which helped lol. I even got to fool with my nightime camera settings to take some good shots of the fireworks...
