TIME TO GET MOVING
Playing on the internet all day, I found this neat pin. Simply click on a body part and the website will give you exercises targeted for that area.

TIME FOR A COCKTAIL!
Haven't blogged in forever; now two in one day! I've really fallen off the diet wagon and I need to get back on track! Summer is the time for parties and I was looking for a new, low-point, foo-foo drink. Last night, I came up with this super simple but extremely tasty libation.
I've coined it the Perfect Purple Popsicle and it is only 4 points for 11 ounces.

TIME FOR A CHANGE...OR THREE!!!
Well the last few months brought about quite a few changes for me. I became a Close to My Heart Independent Consultant, a Thirty-One Consultant, and changed primary employers.
Starting with the least exciting one, my primary occupation, I moved from THE National Bank to Associated Bank. Not much of a stretch but the move granted me an upgraded benefit program, an increase in income and a much shorter commute. All for which I am very grateful.
Now on the the stuff I really enjoy, Close to My Heart and Thirty-One! With the kids grown, I wanted to get back into some of the things I really enjoy.
One of those is stamping. That's probably too restrictive for what I like to do but we'll start there. I decided to go to open studio time that a friend of mine was having. She had out the latest and greatest Cricut and it really piqued my interest in it again. Mind you, when they first came out, I had to run out and get one. There it sat, in the box, used only a handful of times...over the last five years. Well, for those of you that know me, I needed to have the latest and greatest version. So, around the beginning of November, I bought a new one and I love it! I'm sure by now you are asking yourself what that has to do with Close to My Heart. Good question, the answer is Close to My Heart carries cartridges that you can only get through Close to My Heart. I saw the Artiste cartridge being used during the open studio time and I had to have it. (The cartridge has over 700 images.) By this time I was sold and I wanted to start receiving discounts on everything I wanted to buy for my hobby. Solution: Become a consultant. To tie two of the changes in my life together, I've attached images from what I made for my new employees with the Cricut and the Close to My Heart Artiste cartridge.
The final change occurred when I went to a craft retreat with the aforementioned friend known as Sarita. Bless her heart, but if we were doing a drinking game that weekend and we had to drink every time she said "Thirty-One", we would still be hungover. I didn't really participate in all the Thirty-One talk because I was busy working on the goodies above but she did plant a seed and lo and behold I became her first consultant!
Below are just a few of the wonderful products you can get from Thirty-One Gifts!
