Believe you can, forever and ever!!!!

Another layout done, another story to share.

My beautiful niece caught the moment that she’s making a wish … the photo was taken in 2010 and I just love the seriousness of her expression here …

I created this layout last week while I was scrapping with friends … it’s always so much fun when we are creative together and I have to that Zeffy for being such a great hostess!!!!

I’ve recently been organizing my diecuts into pocket sleeves and putting them in dosiers … as a result they are more on hand and as a result I’m using them making my creative process so much fun!!!!

For the life of me I can’t remember on whose sewing machine I added the craft paper to the patterned heart paper, or even WHEN I did that!!!! LOL … But it didn’t go to waste!!!!

The Studio Challenge: FOOD

Over at the Studio this month I was instantly attracted to their Food Challenge … it has been a big part of my daily angst this past year … so it seemed natural to document it in this layout:

The photo was taken during a crop way back in March, where a few likeminded Dukan dieters had brought along food that we could enjoy … visually it has to be apetizing for me to enjoy as well!!!! 🙂

My friends!

Today is a special day for me! Exactly one year ago today I started my incredible diet journey! 365 days have flown by, while 41 kilos have come off!!!!

Through this year, I  have not been alone … I have had fellow travellers, each achieving their own amazing goals, but they have been with me, supporting me, encouraging me, giving reality checks, and clapping all the way!  It has definitely made the journey more enjoyable!

For this reason I thank them, and express myself thru this layout … inspired by Scrap N Pieces June Challenge to create with the theme "Real friends" Thank you ladies, you are truly beautiful inside and out!!!!

One year apart, in the same place!!! No need to say how much healthier and happier I am … goals can be achieved! Reach for the stars, life is too short not too!!!
