Good Morning!! I'm up much too early this Thursday morning, but I had to get a jump start on this fine day. I've actually taken the day off to see the final installment of the Twilight series. At 11:30 am I will become one with a seat in the theater to watch all FIVE of the Twilight movies. I CAN'T WAIT!!!
Had to get up early to be sure to fit in some exercise. I know I haven't mentioned it here, but in the past 8 months I've lost 35 pounds on Weight Watchers AND just this past weekend finished my first 5k race. I owe it in part to my wonderful co-workers and friends!!
Here we are after crossing the finish line. Woot it feels good! In the middle is Olga or as we all know her OTG and on the right is gorgeous Rebekah. They are both such inspirations too me. Love you gals!!! They'll probably kill me for posting this picture too! Hee-hee!!
So what does this have to do with today's post. Well I'm sure you all have friends that you can call on no matter what. Am I right? Well we do. Whether they are our mother, sister, cousin, co-worker.... we have them. And today's card is dedicated to these two amazing ladies featuring ingredients from this month's KI kit from Taylored Expressions.
I stamped this fabulous sentiment panel from the Let's Chat set. I chose it be the focal point of the layout. The rest pretty much fell into place thanks to Taylor. Each month she selects just the perfect elements that goes into each kit. This month's patterned paper is from Jillibean Soup - Grandma's Lima Bean Soup. How fun does that sound? Also included is coordinating card stock, ribbon, decorative stick pins and wood buttons, clothespins & bingo chips! And if that wasn't enough..... it's all delivered right to your door!

Huge congrats, Tracy on the weight loss! I know it's a hard slog to do - I managed to lost a lot a couple of years ago and so glad I did!
Gorgeous card, love the mix of papers!

Hey, how was the TWI marathon? I must admit that since we went to two of the movies, I have fallen off the bandwagon. I didn't even see the LAST one! sheesh. Congrats on getting healthy too. That is great. :)
