Queen of my Domain

So I was going to post a give away today but I've run into a couple of glitches. I'm trying to get them figured out so your just going to have to wait a little bit longer. I'm very excited to do this give away I just have to get it all perfect. So I'm going to work at it and we are going to get this done for December 1st. Sound good? Alrighty then..... we'll try and get it up for wednesday!

So I've always considered myself unable to do somethings. My sisters love to disagree with me on this but I think it do it so that I have less things to try and work on. My sister Brittney has always, and by always, I do mean forever, been a good scrapbooker. Her mother in law got her hooked way back 10 years ago and ever since then she has just flourished with it. I on the other hand, not so good. Even after 3 years at Michaels..... I have lots of supplies but still really can't do it. Anyways, a few weeks ago I was contacted by a great company to do a review and a give away. Let me tell you how easy it is!! I love it and on Monday we are going to do a giveaway. So if you have major guilt of all those pictures hanging out on your computer and can't scrapbook to save your soul. Then you want to make sure that you enter the give away on monday!! I'm going to post some of what I've been working on, when I post the giveaway on monday. Stay tuned.

So chores are the same every where. They always need to be done and nobody wants to do them. So I set up a system, being as I'm the queen of my domain, and so far it has been working. First of all after a few to many hours on pinterest I was inspired to create some magnetic charts for the girls to use. Something that would get them excited. This is what I put together. First I bought some smaller sized cookies sheets from the dollar store ($1) Then I ran some scrapbooking type tape runner across the sheet. Then I had picked out some papers that I liked and cut them down to size to fit the back of the sheet. (I forgot to take pictures) Next I had gotten 3 different colours of stick-on rhinestones from the dollarstore as well. ($1 for each package) I managed to get 8 craft magnets for $1 as well. So here you cans see that I've gotten the magnets all put together and I think they are beautiful! Let me just put a little disclaimer in here. I have never been good at paper crafting.

So, I started working out this summer. I was watching what I was eating. I was being really good. Then canning season hit and everything went out the window. After I was all done canning, I decided to just relax a little. Now 2 months later it still seems like I'm relaxing. I have so much to do but I just can't find the motivation to do anything. I have every intention when I go to bed at night. "Tomorrow I will get up and....." but it doesn't ever work out that way. I've got to find something to work on. To get me excited, to motivate me. That being said. I've picked up quite a few custom sewing projects so maybe that will make the difference. Fortunately I'm still losing weight just not as quickly as I was before. I am down 4 dress sizes which is fabulous!! Keep watching my blog for a great give away!!
