On Saturday my son came home and brought me a big envelope. Strange, I didn't order anything. Then I looked at the return address and saw it was from my friend in Maryland. Look at what she sent to me, just to cheer me up and because she knew that I was trying so hard not to spend money on scrapping or sewing. There are red glittery alpha stickers (they remind me of the Ruby Slippers!) an assortment of chipboard shapes and alphas, stamps that will be perfect to use on greeting cards, some paisley emery boards and a notepad and some chipboard embellishments for
scrapbooking. What a FUN envelope to open and it sure did make me smile. I can't wait to spend a day
scrapbooking and use some of this! Thank you, dear friend!

Another package I got a week or so ago. This was from Victoria at Bumble Bean. I had entered a giveaway and this was a consolation prize! There is a Martha
Negley print (on the left) and the print right is from a collection called Holly Hill. I am not sure who designed the middle print. Thanks so much!

Something I love to do is bake and although I certainly do NOT need to be eating the baked goods, I have a willing family (none of whom put on a pound no matter how much of the stuff they eat). I had been making different cookies lately and when the last of those were gone I asked my son what he wanted next. He said 'remember those filled cupcakes you made awhile back? Those would be good.' So last night, while the guys went for a 4wheeler ride I whipped up these.
( right after I piped the PBish filling into them)
(and here they are after I frosted them)
I was going to get all fancy and pipe the frosting on but I got tired and just wanted to be done.

Praise - I got back on the treadmill today! No more excuses!!! I walked for 60 minutes/3.25
miles.
Prayers - that I would get back on the treadmill tomorrow and the day after and the day after...
