New Blog...

I have decided to switch blogs...I have been having major issues on and off with Blogger since me moved and it's just starting to get super annoying! So please be sure to change your bookmarks or feeds, etc...

Here is my new address... http://justme-shelly.vox.com/

Hopefully since it loads really well for me and is super easy, I will be able to keep it updated!

I'm back...and so soon!

You didn't think I would be back so soon, did you? Neither did I actually, but I am trying to make this blogging thing a habit, so here we go!

I haven't had any time to scrap here lately. The last page I did, maybe the last 2 pages were Dare Pages and I am getting ready to start another one today. I need to get back to doing one page a day, but it's hard to find the time some days. I am getting my time organized, slowly, but I am getting there. I have my control journal all set up and I am just adding things in. Also in the organizing vein...I am adding all my digital files to my new 500G EHD. I had about 75% of my files backed up to CD when my EHD was destroyed. I was able to get the DL links reset for most of the ones that I didn't have backed up. SO I am adding all those to the new EHD and once I get them all added I may have another go at organizing them all into categories. I just need another EHD to back this one up...just in case!!! I am being extra careful with this one, so hopefully we won't have any more mishaps.

I have a few layouts to share, so I will post those and then I need to get changed into my exercise clothes and get my workout in.








Have a great day!

I am not keeping up well...

I have been so busy lately that I just can't keep up with blogging! I am going to try though. I am working on some stuff to get me more organized and as part of that I am totally organizing my time and I hope to be more efficient with my time in the future. I have found some great new blogs and I have been gathering tons of information. I will link you up in a future post, once I get everything under control.

Let's see....what else has been going on? Not too much really, just general busyness. We started Round 5 of The Biggest Loser Digi Style today. I gained about 7 pounds over the past few months. I have really been slacking since I had my surgery and I am ready to get back in the game and get back on track. Today has gone really well. SO hopefully I can continue with this and get back to losing again.

Well, that's about all I have for now. I have some layouts that I need to post, but I am trying to get some stuff printed out so I don't want to spend too much time on here.

Have a great night!

Isn't that the way it goes...

I come in here and post about how I am going to try to blog every day and I miss the very next day!! Well, I am here today, albeit a little late cause Blogger was down this morning. I have also been keeping up with my scrapping a page a day. In fact I did one before noon today so I may even have time for another one!

Things are going well here in the new house. I just love it. The kids and I made chocolate chip cookies on Monday and I made a loaf of Banana Bread yesterday. Between that and my new Yankee Tarts my house is smelling like a regular bakery!

I went in to Yankee Candle on Friday cause it had been literally 6 months or more since I had bought any tarts and I stocked up on the new Fall scents. Here is what I ended up with: Creme Brulee, Shortbread Cookie, Fall Festival, Autumn Woods, Cider Donut, Mango Peach Salsa, Pomegranate Cider and one older scent, but one of my favorites Vanilla Cupcake. So far I have burned the Shortbread Cookie and Creme Brulee and both smell totally yummy.

Let's see, what else is going on??? Not too much actually, so I think I will leave you with my latest layouts!
So, since I have shared today's layout I guess I will have to do another one for tomorrow!!

Have a great afternoon and evening!

A brand new week...

So I am kind of starting over this week. With a few things anyway. I went back to Spark People and I am going to start tracking my food intake again. With all that's been going on with the move and being without a refrigerator for a few days and stuff, we have been eating out WAY too much and that's going to stop as well. SO I am back on the wagon starting today!

Another thing that I am starting over is Flylady. Now that we are in a spanking new, clean house it's time to keep it that way. I just need to get my routines all set up again and start FLYing.

I promised this last week so I guess I need to post it for you finally! Here is a picture of the outside of our new house.
I just LOVE this house! It's amazing how much better other stuff is when you are living in a house that you love. I am more calm and relaxed most of the time and it's just great!

Another thing I am going to try to do every day is to blog. I know it's easier said than done, but I am going to try. And I need to get some more layouts done, so I am going to try to do a layout every day for awhile and try to get caught up, a little anyway!

So, if you haven't checked out this new site you really should. It's awesome, all I can say is Gina, Traci and Lauren have done it, it's an awesome community that isn't so big that you feel lost in the shuffle. It's become my new scrapbook home. To go over there and visit just click on the blinkie.


Well, I gotta get going. I don't have a new layout to share today, I did one, but it's for the next dare so you have to wait till Friday to see it!

Have a great day!!
