Been at the Y for about 10-11 classes throughout the week and am SORE! But had several people come up to me and say - man you are really loosing inches! I haven't tried to really loose weight - but have lost several pounds and I know gained alot of muscle! And the places I'm sore are where I need to loose weight so that's probably good too. Took Y- double step for the first time today! Have been doing Y-step for awhile but never tried the double step - was fun but definitely need more practice! It moves! I think someone who had a fitbe clocked 5,600 step in one hour! Well here's my take on the most recent Case File - little Gavin! Also managed to get a blasted cold and my head is sooo full! Hopefully all this exercise will drive it out!<br />

Has been a busy week - mostly at the Y. Love these classes and even more encouraged now that I can see some progress. Otherwise just been leading the life of a busy retiree. Been cancelled the last two weeks at work so have gotten to do some fun thing like have lunch with by best friend from fourth grade! We went all the way through school together and it's fun getting caught up again. Going to go see my Mom next week for a couple of days and going to meet up with another high school friend as well as a college friend (we were all really close) so excited about that. Here's my take for the #191 challenge. <br />

I go to the Y every day I'm not working or out of town - have meet some great people but most of all I can really see changes in my body. Never really needed to loose much weight but can tell MAJOR differences in my body. Loosing my four kid intertube and my back and shoulders are loosing fat at a great rate. I could barely do a push up when I started or a sit up and now I'm holding out through the entire class. Love that they offer such a great variety of classes because they are really pushing me to work hard. I'm sure I'm probably the oldest in most of the classes but I love it. I tried a couple of the ones they consider "gold" but man those women are vicious! God help you got there early and are standing where they consider "their spot"! Have had them literally come in and stand right in front of me so quit that! We finally had a little good new about my grandson last week - his protein levels have finally started to come down and his blood pressure has been a little better controlled!<br />
Please come play along with us at CSI - these case files are so fun and challenging! I know you will enjoy them!<br />

I'm out of practice with keeping up here! Been busy at the gym. I love the Y here - going to have a huge new one in March. Right now there's the first of the year surge in joining so classes are crowded which mean more sweating lol! But it's getting the job done - can see the inches falling away - especially seen alot of improvement in my back and arms. My favorite class is the Body Pump which is totally weight lifting targeting all areas. My Grandson is back in the hospital - hoping we are going to get some answers - poor little guy - his kidneys aren't working well - he's swollen, has high blood pressure that has been hard to control and still very weak. Had another biopsy today and hoping to hear answers tomorrow when they get the results. <br />
Today I have the last two weeks of Case Files for you.<br />

Had a great Christmas although very tired of driving. Went to my youngest daughter's in Houston for three days, then on to San Antonio to spend Christmas with my son. Then made a meet trip with my oldest daughter to deliver Christmas presents to them on Sunday. So a LONG week. I have joined the YMCA and it's really cheap! I don't do outside working out with the cold weather so this was my option besides a gym and once I saw the price it was hands down the winner. Anyway have started taking classes and have gotten great workouts! I can see my body getting in better shape! I take Zumba, Zumba step (love this one), Y-step, Body Combat (which my daughter would probably be rolling on the floor laughing at me because it's obvious I would never make a fighter), Body Pump (weight lifting and my favorite!) and today I added Cardio groove. I'm obviously the oldest in almost all of the classes but I don't care and we are all too busy watching the instructor to pay any attention to how anyone looks! <br />
Well here's my page. This is Brandy's bff, Megan and her family! I've been scrapping for little Gavin since he was born and am excited to find out he will be having a little brother or sister next summer!<br />

For any of you who follow me on facebook you know my grandson has been suffering from acute renal problems. He's having an extremely slow recover - hardly been able to go to school for either blood pressure issues or severe headaches. Please keep him in your prayers. So hard to see this bouncing off the wall boy barely able to get around and do anything.<br />

And some close ups of the chipboard. Here I have used some TH distress stain in tarnished brass. Then I added some Jenni Bowlin Chicken Feed to make it look more rustic. The flourish I treated with Heidi Swapp's Citron.<br />

Today I'm up on the <a href="http://creativeembellishments.com/blog/">Creative Embellishments </a>blog. I wanted to share a couple of cards I made with some of the chipboard. First up is the birthday card using the <a href="http://creativeembellishments.com/chipboard/flowers/pansies.html">Pansies </a>chipboard. I painted them and then used some darker paint to add some dimension. For the second card I used some of the <a href="http://creativeembellishments.com/chipboard/wings/flourish-butterfly-set-2.html">Flourish Butterfly Set 2 </a>together with part of a <a href="http://creativeembellishments.com/chipboard/6-x-6-lattice-panels/moroccan-lattice-panel.html">Moroccan Lattice Panel</a> set. I've show the chipboard I used and the links to the store.<br />

This week we have a fun Case File with some bright fun colors for summer. Here's how I solved it using pictures from one of our summer rituals which is a family birthday party at the end of July for all the guy's birthday (3) that are right there at the end of the month. We meet at Becky's (step-daughter's) for a day of family fun and sun. I've used some of the <a href="http://creativeembellishments.com/chipboard/titles-quotes-and-sayings/celebrate-word-set.html">Celebrate Words </a>chippies and also one of the <a href="http://creativeembellishments.com/chipboard/flourishes/flourish-27.html">Flourish 27. </a>Then I cut a section of the<a href="http://creativeembellishments.com/chipboard/6-x-6-lattice-panels/triangle-panel-526139098.html"> Triangle Panel </a>and backed it with papers and embellishments.<br />

Here's a few close ups of the chipboard. The flourish I sprayed with Heidi Swapps Color Shine in Citron (love this) and the Words I painted red and then added red glitter to. The Triangle panel I painted red and blue and added embellishments and patterned paper. </div>

This month Creative Embellishments has teamed up with CSI to solve some Case Files! This week we are solving Case File #169 together with Em Stafrace's sketch. I'm on both Design Teams so this has worked for me very well! These are some pictures of my son and daughter ( the youngest) telling how hard it is to get a good picture of them together! I have used some words from the <a href="http://creativeembellishments.com/chipboard/titles-quotes-and-sayings/moments-word-set.html">Special Moments Word Set</a> together with the <a href="http://creativeembellishments.com/chipboard/flourishes/flourish-10.html">Flourish 10 </a>(one of my favorites!)<br />

Here's my layout using some of my granddaughter's graduation pictures.First up here's the Sketchabilities sketch we used together with the monthly Mood Board for the monthly challenge at Creative Embellishments. I took my inspiration from the photograph from the blue sky and the flowers.

They had a ball - Brandy caught the bouquet! Brandy is well know for her dancing (since she's danced since she was three) and her younger brother is right behind her! I used several pieces of the Creative Embellishment's chipboard here: the <a href="http://creativeembellishments.com/chipboard/borders-1161536673/squared-chain-border.html">Square Chain Border</a>, the <a href="http://creativeembellishments.com/wood-veneers/love-notes.html">Love Notes Wood Veneer</a>, and the <a href="http://creativeembellishments.com/chipboard/titles-quotes-and-sayings/moments-word-set.html">Moment's Word Set</a> and the<a href="http://creativeembellishments.com/chipboard/flourishes/flourish-10.html"> Flourish Set 10</a>. I love the Flourish Set 10 set because it's easy to cut this into smaller pieces when you don't need a large set. I painted the Green with Heidi Swapp's Citron Color Shine. The hearts were painted pink and then I added Doodle Bug glitter. The Embrace I painted gold then sprinkled some Martha Stewart gold glitter on it although the picture makes it look like different colored glitter - it's all gold IRL.<br />

Here's some close ups - like I said before the Embrace is only gold glitter but it looks different photographed.<br />

The Heidi Swapp Color Shine give these just the right contrast. <br />

Working soooo hard on my yard I'm not good for a whole lot! Lucky for us the developer left a MASSIVE pile of mulch behind our yard as well as a huge pile of gravel! We have been putting it to good use. I have hauled probably 40-50 BIG wheelbarrow loads so far. This is where we are at now. I'm trying to zeroscape most of the backyard -to the right of this will be the pool and another large covered patio. I've planted some of the larger base plants but will add smaller flower patches throughout it as I go. Also t here where will be more brick to create tiers through here. Definitely a work in progress but it's doing wonders for my arms and back lol!<br />

I've had so much fun on this team - lots of inspiration from the Design Team together with awesome products makes scrapping so much fun! I adore this picture of Gavin walking in the park with his Daddy. I started with a sheet of Core'dination's cardstock - sanded it to show the woodgrain and then added some paint and stains.<br />

This is my second month with Creative Embellishments and I have had SOOOO much fun playing with their chipboard! So many wonderful shapes and words to work with! This month's inspiration photo is this one. <br />
This month's mood board had me heading for these Authentique Graduation papers I had had in my stash for a long time. I had just received these graduation pictures of my granddaughter, Madison, done by T Hernandez, and loved the clock in the photo as well as the colors of the photo. It inspired this page. I've included some close ups as well. I used pieces of the <a href="http://creativeembellishments.com/chipboard/6-x-6-lattice-panels/hexagon-panel.html">Hexagon panel </a>as well as the <a href="http://creativeembellishments.com/chipboard/steampunk/steampunk-clock.html">Steampunk Clock</a>. Then I used a word from the <a href="http://creativeembellishments.com/chipboard/words/happy-word-set.html">Happy Word Set</a> in my title.<br />

And here's my take on it - mostly pulled the colors from all the pink as inspiration together with the flowers. This is my gorgeous granddaughter, Madison, and is taken from her graduation pictures. And I've added chipboard from the <a href="http://creativeembellishments.com/blog/">Creative Embellishments</a> chipboard who I'm now designing for. Several pieces here. The Flourish from the <a href="http://creativeembellishments.com/chipboard/flourishes/flourish-set-15.html">Flourish 15</a> set, the Cherish from the <a href="http://creativeembellishments.com/chipboard/titles-quotes-and-sayings/moments-word-set.html">Moments Word Set</a>, the butterfly from the <a href="http://creativeembellishments.com/chipboard/wings/flourish-butterfly-set-2.html">Flourish Butterfly set 2</a>, the the chain from the <a href="http://creativeembellishments.com/chipboard/borders-1161536673/chain-border.html?limit=100">Chain border</a><br />

I have tons of paper and goodies yet to play with! Today's my birthday but it's been rainy and miserable all day long! We are going to go have a couple of adult beverages at the only bar/hot spot - Chili's here in town. Or at least the only one we have found so far - lol! Hoping to get to go to Fort Worth/Arlington later this week for some antique shopping with Becky - my step-daughter. Had a houseful this weekend with three of my four kids and four grandkids. Loved every minute. It was the two younger one's first time to see the house. Course they are wanting it to be done - the pool in and ready for barbeques and sun-bathing!<br />

<br />
Hope your week was wonderful. Spent mine getting ready for a houseful this weekend. My daughter arrived yesterday. My son will be here tomorrow as well as my step-daughter and then my oldest daughter on Sunday together with a very large handful of grandkids! Let the weekend begin! Once again as it's been EVERY single weekend and more since we have moved here we have had either severe weather storm alerts or tornado alerts. Can't believe it! We lived near here when we were young but never remember this kind of weather. The lakes here had channels that have been bone dry - now they are full! Course all my new plantings around the house are loving it! I've gotten all the beds started all the way around the house now and am ready to get the pool in so I can terrace and landscape the rest of the back yard. After living in San Antonio with rocks and deer I'm in gardening heaven! Here's how I solved the Case File over at<a href="http://csicolorstoriesinspiration.ning.com/"> CSI </a>this week - have used some <a href="http://creativeembellishments.com/blog/">Creative Embellishment </a>chipboard on this one as well!<br />

I'm up again on the <a href="http://creativeembellishments.com/">Creative Embellishments</a> blog and today I have a layout to share with you. Love the wheel clogs chipboard. I combined some die cut clogs with the Creative Embellishment chipboard clogs for this page of cute little Gavin.<br />

Just got back from a whirlwind trip back to San Antonio. Drove down Saturday - had lunch with my son. FUN! Then went to a 60th birthday party of a dear friend of mine who was also my director for about 20 years. Then stopped and loaded ANOTHER load of stuff from the storage unit (one more to go!) and had lunch with a dear friend before heading home! <br />

</span>This
is the story of Madison who will soon be turning 18.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Eighteen years ago your Mom (Kim) and Dad
(Jesse) came over to our house to watch a game because their air conditioning
went out at their house.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They brought
Morgan who was 18 months along as well – you were due any day.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Kim was like, “ Wouldn’t it be neat if
Madison came tonight and you could come to the hospital and see it?”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I had remarried and just had two kids not too
long ago so I said – how about I just watch Morgan and come for the
afterwards!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>(I was never one who wanted
a party in the delivery room – my hubby ONLY).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Anyway around 12 pm she woke me up and said they were headed to the
hospital.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Off they went – about two am I
get a knock on the door and when I opened it Kim burst into tears.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Now this in itself is a major clue because
Kim doesn’t cry – not for shots- nothing!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Jesse fell apart – he was like Mom she was fine – they sent her home and
said it was too early even though she had to be wheeled out asking to be
checked again.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He had even stopped on
the way home to grab a taco!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I couldn’t
believe it – she had a history of having her first one fast and they send her
HOME when she’s asking to be re checked ??? (She was already a 3 first check!)
Anyway she heads up to the rest room and I hear this big sigh and I was like Oh
S_____!!! Sure enough her water broke.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
was just a year out of nursing school and specialized in ADULT ICU – no babies!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Anyway I’m heading her out to the car saying
we are going back period.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>No sooner do
we get out the door then she says Mom she’s coming! – I mean right now!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I finally convince her she’s going to NOT do
it standing up but going to lay down.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
scream at Jesse to call 911 - he was like should I call the hospital and see if
we can bring her back!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was like it’s
too late for that – 911!!!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My hubby,
Charlie, was flipping because we had just moved to this gated community and he
wasn’t sure the gate would open (of course the fire department and police have
this covered!)<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Then the funnies
started.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I get Charlie to bring me my
work bag and ask him to bring some clean blankets and sheets.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Get the bag and as I take out my trauma
sheers and cut the crotch out of Kim’s favorite jump suit I look up to see her
trying to take it off at the shoulders.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Then here comes Charlie with my BEST afgan off the couch – I’m like
Really??? Then because I’m flipping out in my own little head but can’t show it
because I don’t want to scare all of them I’m trying to remember WHAT I
remember from OB nursing school – seems I’m supposed to turn the head or
something to help the shoulders out.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>By
this time I have Jesse at her head – Kim is like, “ She’s coming!” and I was
like –“ No I don’t see her!”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Next second
there she was – didn’t need any help at all – she’s just in my arms EXCEPT she
had the cord around her neck twice.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Being a trauma nurse I’m used to patients who are OUT! And we talk to
each other to tell everyone what is going on. Jesse was a med tech so though he
MIGHT be some help – no he was in total father mode!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I managed to get the cords from around her
neck and could hear her heart beating.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>My middle daughter had just been there a few weeks before and left the
syringe for suctioning their nose out so we got that out but Kim was still
screaming because she wasn’t crying. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
finally calmed her down – let her feel her breath and her heart beat.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is when I felt we had a few miracles on
our side.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The syringe was left there – Madi
managed to come out without help – nothing horrible happened.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I clamped the cord with my hemostats and
wrapped her up on Kim’s tummy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>By then
the fire truck and ambulance had arrived.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>On top of this Jesse wanted to wrap her in foil and I was like
WHAT?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Guess what’s the first thing they
did? <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We get in the ambulance because by
this time I’m like sorry Jesse but right now I see I’m the most experience
person here and she’s going to get safely to the hospital.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Course now that we are loaded the pill they
had given Kim to make her relax and go to sleep kicked in and she gets slap
happy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They are asking questions and
they go – well is it a boy or a girl?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We
both look at each other – it was supposed to be a girl but in all the
excitement we never looked!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>On arrival
at the hospital I was about to spit bullets but finally gave the baby up to the
nursed who showed me a bathroom where I could wash up.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As I’m standing in there I hear them go –
what is with this baby ??? She has grass on her!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Died laughing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Before Kim left the hospital they had named
her Back Yard Barbie!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The story lived at
that hospital for a long time – I heard back from nurses who worked there who
had come to my unit to work.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Madison did
suffer compressed vocal cords and didn’t cry for a few months.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You just had to be looking at her to realize
she was in full blown cry.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I didn’t
sleep for months worried I had done some brain damage or something else wrong!
We planted a flower bed where she was born and kept it full of beautiful
flowers!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But she’s beautiful, smart and
one of the sweetest girls I know.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She
will be graduating next month from High School with her High School degree as
well as her Associates Degree and headed to college in the fall.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So proud of her! </span><br />

Then we have a second special Case File this week as well. Had fun with all the PINK!<br />
