Long time no see

Wow has it really been over a year since I have posted?  It sure doesn't feel like it.  I was surprised I still remembered how to long into this place though ;-) LOL

I guess with some many people being on Facebook I have really neglected my poor lil' ol' blog.  Not sure if I should do a major catch up post or just start fresh...hmm must contemplate.  Anyway...just wanted to pop in (really to test my memory to see if I could).

Wonder if anyone is out there reading this anymore...hello??  Can you hear me??? helllllllloooo :-)

 

 

A very special crop January 22nd.

I wanted to share this all with you in hopes that you all can make it.  Its for a wonderful wonderful person!!!  Please see below.

Scrappin’ It Marylu Style!

Marylu is very dear to us here at Down to Details...as a customer, as a friend, and as family.   Many of you know Marylu through Down to Details...whether she doodled on a cup for you at an Expo, cut your ribbon for you, fed you snacks like pretzels or cupcakes, or maybe you have even been in a class with Marylu...

Marylu has recently been diagnosed with Chondroscarcoma, a form of cartilage cancer.  Marylu is being taken care of this time, but has had to relocate, is unable to work and is limited in her scrappin time.  We miss Marylu....and we want to help her with her expenses and get her on her way to a recovery!

Down to Details is holding a special crop just for Marylu!  And we would love for you to join us for the day!  All proceeds will be given 100% to Marylu in her fight to win!  Want to help out?  Join us for this amazing crop filled with love, friends, laughter and oh so much more!

ah fall, :-) I just love the colors!  P.S.  yes long time no blog post.  I didn't realize it had been sinced April.  I'm really surprised I remembered how to log in.  And I did do a post last night, twice and yet I couldn't get anything to post correctly so for now short and sweet with a few pictures.

 

April is tax month

and I just had mine finished today and found out that I owe big time...I'm pretty sure this is the most I have ever owed.  So not happy.

Alice in Wonderland Fat Book Swap

Here are the pages from the fat book swap hosted by Cheryl.  She did the cover and bound it for all of us.  Oh my such a talented group of ladies!

Wonderland continued

Day 2 of our adventure started out with coffee and breakfast waiting in the room for us.

Our first class of the day was taught by Jamie.  Isn't this bottle adorable?  Everyone added their own spin on it.  Wish I would have taken more pictures of the different ones.  All of them came out so good!  Here are a few....

 

 

This was our yummy dessert at lunch time...sorry forgot to take a picture of lunch...I'm sure you guys only wanted to see the dessert, hee hee

This is Christine and she taught our last class.  This adorable hat...see below...these are all her samples

This is how mine turned out :-)  Still want to add a few more baubles and such but it's almost done.

Afterwards we headed out to dinner and then spent some time in the park.  Here we are channeling our inner Mad Hatter :-)

Sad that the weekend went by so fast.  Fun times!!!

 
 
 

  
 

An Affaire in Wonderland

This past weekend Kim hosted an Affaire in Wonderland and it was held in the beautiful Grand Californian Hotel in Downtown Disney.  This was my first time ever staying in that hotel and boy do I wish I could stay there often...very nice and hello right next to Disneyland...how do you top that ;-)

This is what we first saw walking in...breathtaking right, no detail went unnoticed.  Our day started on Friday with over the top shopping experience. 

The vendors:

Christine

Joy

Kim

Holly

Jamie

Candice

nd Natalie and Lonnies table.  They had beautiful goodies!  Sorry I didn't get a picture of their table...don't know how I missed doing that.
  
Next came our tea party...oh my the food was so yummy!!! 

After our wonderful tea Candice taught our first class wish was this adorable according book.

Later we all got together at the AMC to see Alice in Wonderland...great flick!!  Off with their heads! ;-)  I'll tell you about Saturday tomorrow...stay tuned.

 

Yesterday was a rather tough...Peanut would have been 14. I still miss her so much and cry often.

I love this picture, she loved cabbage, weird for a dog right? She would be right under foot until you gave her a piece.

So why is it so hard

to keep a food journal???  Okay so I don't really make new years resolutions...seem to never keep them anyways...so I set "goals" that I would like to achieve.  Well one of them was to keep a food journal...write everything down...that way I can hold myself more accountable for my actions, right?  Another reason for wanting to keep a food journal was because as much as I work out the pounds are not coming off and that is frustrating the crap out of me.  So it must be my eating habits.  Right?  I have been eating healthier for the most part and some think that I'm not eating enough to go along with my workout.  I don't know what it is but I really need to figure it out!  Any of you have any suggestions on the whole eatting thing?  Do you eat a lot of small meals throughout the day?  Three regular meals?  Just wondering what works for you.

Merry Christmas

Just wanted to stop by my sad and lonely blog to wish you all a very Merry Christmas!  Many blessings in the New Year!
