I have one more Bella layout to share with you today ...
Thanks for dropping by!

I had a great time away on the Scrapbooking Delights / Scrapbook Savvy Retreat - even though I was sick with a cold (now moving to sinuses!).
I got a few layouts made which I will try and photograph soon. In the meantime I wanted to share an older layout from an Inspired Blueprints sketch. IB is on hiatus for a while, but the sketches can still be accessed from the blog.
I also received some factastic scrapbooking related news this morning and all will be revealed soon!
Cheers

Well the news is out! My wonderful scrappy news is that I have made the first Bella Blvd Design Team along with a great group of lovely ladies. I am thrilled to have made the team and be representing such a wonderful company and its lovely products for the next 12 months.
This is the full announcement ...
And I have a layout to share from my application ...
I am off retreating this weekend and I have a bundle of new photos - I can't wait to play!

We have just finished our 6 week challenge at Contours and I had set a goal of 10kg weight loss. I knew that this was a big goal, but I felt if I worked hard at it I could achieve it. Well I am pleased to say that today I weighed in 9.9kgs lighter than my first weigh in! I was stoked. Watching what I ate (not starving myself) and exercising hard paid off. Total weight loss is now 45kg so getting close to my next goal of 50kgs (and my iPad which is my reward at 50kgs).
Things kids say. In the car driving home from the gym this morning and it was on the news that in America a juvenile can be jailed for life with no parole for murder (excuse me if I am a little wrong on this). So this prompted a discussion about life in jail and what this would mean. I said to Benson that the worst part would never being able to fall in love, get married and have a family - as that is the most amazing thing to experience (deep and meaningful there from Mummy). Benson announced "no Mum, having a day off school is the best thing ever!". Obviously a day off due to teacher strikes tops the cake when you are 6!!!
A layout ...
Feels good to be back bloggin again - this is going to become a habit!

PS - got to go and pull a baked cheesecake out of the oven - YUM (Donna Hay Salted Caramel)
So we had a super lovely weekend - with good weather, lots of exercise, family time, time with friends and a lovely father's day. The house is a mess - but oh well, the other stuff is more important!
I took the opportunity on father's day to get a few snaps of us ...
I have now lost 44kgs - so thought it about time I shared a full length photo of me too ...
I still have a long way to go on my weight loss journey, but I am getting there. Here is a full length shot of me in December 2009 before I started trying to lose weight (it is a beautiful photo by Janine Kaye but I never liked myself in it) ...
You will be seeing all of these photos coming up on some layouts soon!
Cheers
Kim
