Belli Challenge #77 and Mojo Sketch

Hello!!! Today is Belli Challenge day and this week's challenge is to use TWINE or RAFFIA in your project. And now that I think about it... I failed to follow the directions!!! ARGH..... LOL

So let's PRETEND... see where they grey ribbon is??? Let's pretend the Twine and Raffia is there, okay? Otherwise - "my twine and raffia" will be what the basket is made of in the stamped image? How does that work for you??? LOL Ok I know it is a stretch...I will see what I can do to change that picture before the day is out... maybe... kids have me running in different directions these days...


The Belli Sponsor this week is Sherrod Studios and one randomly chosen will will receive this stamp set, Birthday Ella

Isn't it adorable??? Now here is my project...

I used the Mojo Sketch from this past Monday.


Now, you also know if you have been following my blog that Wednesday is my Weigh In day! I can not tell you how good I feel and how excited I am every week to weigh in now. I have been sticking to my program 100% and the inches and pounds are falling off! It feels so good. This week, I even had another exciting moment!!!

On Monday, I reached a mini milestone that I didn't even know would happen so soon! ...Two weeks ago, I tried on a pair of jeans (I haven't been able to wear these jeans in over 2 years) I wasn't able to even CLOSE - (the zipper/button section) was like a WIDE V around my big large fat roll in my tummy. Well, I was in my closet this morning and just happened to look at those jeans and thought I would see how much closer the WIDE V would come to closing and how many weeks it would take to get to that point. I was thinking maybe 2 more weeks- because there was NO CLOSING THEM two weeks ago, the distance was almost as big as the Grand Canyon!!! (ok...maybe a slight exaggeration! LOL)

Well.. I slipped them on AND I was able to button them up!!! WAHOOOoooo...I didn't even have to suck in my gutt!!!! WAHOOOOooooooo.... I even wore them comfortably all day! They are tight around the waist, but baggier in the thigh area - but not gross you can see everything tight. Ya know!?

I will post my official weigh in a bit later this morning (writing this up Tuesday.) I know I have at least a 2 lb loss this week because I snuck in an early weight loss. LOL
Good morning! I weighed myself and I am down 5 more pounds!!! YIPPEE!!!!
That makes a total of 20.5 pounds... Can't wait until next week!


I hope you have a great day! Thank you for stopping by!
