Bling Bling Bunny

I've lost a little weight. Fancy that.  I went with trepidation to meet with my dietitian today and came away pleasantly surprised and motivated.  I've lost about 5 pounds in total so far. 

As I went up and down the stairs today I told myself out loud how good it was for me.  I've been talking out loud to myself quite a bit lately.  Whatever works I guess.  I seem to have picked up the habit while making cards. I find myself giving myself directions.  I`m sure I sound like a lunatic saying things like ``Stick that right there, girlfriend``  My conversations are often peppered with my version of cussing.  I say ``fudge-crackers`` when things go wrong.

Remembering my posting from yesterday I focused on making a cheery card again today.  I couldn't decide whether it should be Happy Easter or Happy Spring so in the end I left it blank.  Certainly the rabbit could be for either occasion.  I used some die cuts, jewels and flower bling.  Bling Bling Bunny.

Lots of small things taken care of today.  It is truly amazing what one can accomplish with a telephone and the Internet.  It is such a nice feeling to know that all sorts of piddly little jobs are taken care of.  Sort of like the feeling I get when I pay the bills and know I don't owe anyone a cent.  I have always stuck to my one credit card, turning down dozens of pre-approved cards over the years.  I can't imagine juggling a bunch of cards and owing so many companies money.  It must be so easy to let things get out of hand that way.  I can usually pay my card off in full at month end.

I'm going to treat myself to a surf around on crafters blogs tonight and see what lovely creations every ones been working on.
