Weight Loss the Advocare WAY 24 day Challenge

24 day Challenge with Advocare    before and after pics     

In 24 days I lost 13 pounds and almost 20 " all over

more than  5 inches in waist alone.

This is quite an accomplishment for me since I have struggled with the same 20 pounds for over 3 years.  I would loose 20 and gain 10 back.  Glad to say I found something that works and I am feeling so much better.  

If I can help you check out my website

The plan is a bit expensive but if broken down into the price per day it is about the price you would pay for a meal out.  At least if you tote your lunch you can monitor what you eat  

First 10 days is an uneventful and gentle cleanse

Days 11 -24  good nutritional clean eating with food you prepare yourself all fresh fruits and veggies and lean protein like Chicken, Fish, boiled eggs.

A Special Card for a special Cause

We are releasing a special stamp set for sale and for each Stamp set we sell we will donate $2 to Breast Cancer for Research,  The set is called Strength and Hope and will be available after May 1st.   If you would like to purchase this set go to my Website
http://dpippin.stampinup.net

I love the very vanilla cardstock.  It is so smooth to stamp with. I also used one of our new punches.  The pretty  postage punch.  You can purchase it the first of May.

Spring time Cards

Okay I had a dream about Paris in Springtime and just had to make these cards.  I had a work shop last week and presented my hostess with one of these cute folders with the note cards I had designed.  I hope you enjoy looking at them.  The note cards are great for making small cards and come 20 cards and envelopes for only $5.95  Stop and shop my website http://dpippin.stampinup.net

here is the folder cover..

So pretty with the Easter Blossoms stamp set and I also used Chic Boutique and Artistic etchings.

 This is the folder opened with all the notecards and envelopes

here are the cards with the envelopes

They are easy to make with Glossy Paper and our Markers write beautifully on the glossy paper.  I also used our sponges to add color to the foreground and backgrounds

 I like making the envelopes to match each card.

Thank you cards are always something I can use.

If you haven't heard from someone in a while a little note card to tell them they are thought of is a big pick me up for the receiver.

 If you want to learn how to do this technique or others join my classes at the Citrus Springs Community center on the 2nd and 4th Tuesdays of the month.  We start at 11 am and finish by 1 pm.  I try to keep cost low because of the economy. You get to do 3 cards for $10.  I cut out all the materials and they are ready to stamp and assemble. Our class is called Cards and Chatter.  The ladies love to chat and create.  Men are invited too!  Just call me or shoot me an email to let me know you are coming; that way I have enough supplies to go around.

Call me if you want to set up a workshop with a few of your friends and create something special.

Happy Easter

Love this image from our Occasions Mini this is just one of many cards I have made with it.  The Easter eggs are embossed with the Vintage Wallpaper folder by Sizzix and sold exclusively by Stampin' UP!  If you want one be sure to stop by my website at http://dpippin.stampinup.net to order 24hours / 7 days a week.

This card with the cross is made with our corner scallop and border punches.

Then I did the inlaid embossing with another of our folders.  The lattice Square embossing folder is one of my very favorites.

Spring Time brings many things but the thing I am most Thankful for is that Jesus died for my sins and has forgiven all of us.  I rejoice in the fact that he is alive in me and we celebrate Easter because he had died for all our sins and buried and has indeed Risen!  I wish all of you a very happy and joyful Easter.

My Card Class at the Community Center

This week I was able to teach SIX  (count them 6 Ladies) card making.  Our class is called Cards and Chatter and we meet every second and fourth Tuesday of the month at the Citrus Springs Community Center  between Holder and Dunnellon.  It is alot of Fun and we usually make 3 card for $10.  Normally I don't have my Camera along but this week I happened to have it along and snapped a pic of our group.  They love to chat with each other as they are stamping and assembling their cards.  I bring the materials to use and they are already cut ready to stamp and assemble.  We usually get there at 11 am and are finished usually before 1 pm.  These ladies really enjoy learning new techniques and folds while learning the art of card making.   Here are a few snaps

Here are my card making friends

Visit to the Sponge Docks in Tarpon Springs

I have lived in Florida all my life and never visited Tarpon Springs.  My friend and bead teacher Marsha asked me to go with her to pick up her friend Terri from Massachusetts at the Airport a few weeks back.  We picked her up and went to a Stamp show in Clearwater and then had lunch in Tarpon Springs which was a new thing for me.  I had my camera along so I thought I would post some pictures to my blog for you to see.   Marsha's sister  Joan went along with and was our very great driver.

Here is one of the big boats

Some gals playing the ukeleles and singing  there were several people playing and singing for tips.
