WEIGHT WATCHERS & SHOPPING

Went to Weight Watchers this morning.  Did not loose nor gain.  I think (I KNOW) I'm not staying on the program like I should.  It's really hard for me to stay away from foods I crave.  I just have to find lots more WILL POWER!!!  Can't just keep giving money away because I'm not doing what I'm suppose to do.  It's all my fault.  Weight Watchers works but for some reason I'm BAD!!!
BUT AS OF TODAY I AM GETTING ON THE PROGRAM AND STICKING TO WW PLAN.  I CAN DO IT!! I HAVE MANY TIMES.  Yes, I said, Many Times.  Does that tell you something about me? WHY DO I HAVE SUCH A HARD TIME STAYING AWAY FROM SWEETS AND FATTING FOODS???????  I know I can eat them but in moderation and stay within my points.
AS OF TODAY I PROMISE MYSELF THAT I WOULD EAT RIGHT AND STAY WITH THE WW PLAN. I WILL DO IT!!  I PROMISE MYSELF!!! 
Keep fingers crossed that I have the will power to do this.  Got a new frame of mind today and I am going to do it!!!

Went shopping at Michael's for art supplies, etc.  Starting tomorrow I will start on some new creations.  You know it's hard for me to work on one creation at time??? It really is. I am a Multi Tasker.  Yes, I'm a Type A person. LOL LOL!! Had many doctors tell me that.  They told me it's not a bad thing.   It is to me because I jump from one thing to the other and I feel it takes longer to finish a creation.  SO GUESS WHAT???? I have promised myself I am going to start on a project and finish it before I move on to the next project.   Fingers are crossed X X that I stick to what I just wrote about. :-) 

Got to run.  I have more shopping to do today.  Couldn't do it all because had frozen food I had to bring home. 

QUESTION???????? DO ANY OF YOU DO THE SAME THING I DO WITH YOUR CREATING??????   I JUST KNOW I'M NOT ALONE IN THIS. LOL LOL LOL!!

MY GRANDDAUGHTER BRITTANY & MY DAUGHTER NICOLE
THEY BOTH ARE ARTISTS.   I KNOW THEY DO MULTI-TASKING JUST LIKE THEIR GRANDMA/MAMA  LOL!!!  THEY BOTH ARE GREAT ARTISTS.  
 
BRITTANY   &     NICOLE
 
EVERYONE HAVE A GREAT CREATING DAY!!!

SOUTHLAKE ART FESTIVAL

Life is Great!
My hubby and I went to Southlake, Texas today to the Art Festival.
WOW!! lots of talent at this show. The BEST is.......I got to meet my Favorite Artist, Lynden St. Victor in person.  He is one talented artist.  YES, I bought another one of his works of art. I bought Sweet Dreams. Can you tell I'm in Heaven right now?  I will never forget this day and how Happy I am.

I took my SpiderLilly doll with me to show him. He loved her. I still have a few touches to add to her.  I need to define her fingernails, top stitch her jacket and a few other touch ups. By the way SpiderLilly was thrilled to met the artist also. :-) As some of you know our dolls do talk to us. :-) Yes, they do. :-)

Looking forward to working on another doll. This is one day I will never forget.  My thoughts are beon my dreams.

I FORGOT TO TAKE MY CAMERA. Can you beleive that????  I was so excited about getting to the Art Festival of course I forgot something. LOL! My hubby took some pictures of me and SpiderLilly with Vic.  He had his cell phone with him. They came out really light but think I can make them darker when Ken sends them to my computer.  Vic took pics of me and SpiderLilly and will send them to me.

THIS WAS ONE FANTASTIC DAY!!!

TUESDAY & WEIGHT WATCHERS

Today is Tuesday and that means I had to go to Weight Watchers this morning and weigh in. MMMMMMMM!  I DID! I GAINED 1.6 lbs.  I'm going backward instead of foreword. 
Got to GET WITH THE PROGRAM!
I'm having a hard time for some reason or other. Perhaps I need an attitude adjustment???? :-)

As of TODAY I PROMISE I WILL STICK TO THE WW PROGRAM AND NOT LET ANYONE TEMPT ME INTO EATING STUFF I SHOULDN'T!! I have NO WILL POWER!  I think it's just the state of mind I've been in lately. So far today I have eaten like I should.  I will also get on the treadmill.  OK that's enough about me gainning weight YET AGAIN.  :-) 

I'm off here to finish creating something fun. Got my camera working also. WOOHOO!!  

Everyone have a Great Creative Day,
Fran

Hi Everyone

Hi Everyone,

I haven't posted in awhile.  Been busy doing this and that, going here and there.
I hope to post a new picture or two tomorrow.  Will take pics of my back yard with the roses and the 2 trees we planted.  The wind blew the roses off.  Got some new buds that will be openning soon.  My husband brought Mr. Lincoln rose bush home a couple of days ago. Mr. Lincoln makes the biggest prettiest red roses ever.  We had a Mr. Lincoln Rose Bush when we lived in Las Vegas.  I hated having to leave all my pretty rose bushes BUT now I have new ones.

The weather is BEAUTIFUL here in Texas.  Later this week it's suppose to rain. UGH!  DON'T LIKE TEXAS STORMS!!!

Going to go watch some TV and Plan out what I'm going to do tomorrow. :-) Which will be today when you read this. :-)
Have A Great Day Creating,
Fran

TUESDAY


I'M TRYING TO GET FRAN TO MAKE ANOTHER DOLL SIMILAR TO ME. :-) Hugs, Sara

Hi Everyone,
Seems like the time really does fly by.  It sure has been for me lately.  We bought rose bushes, trees, flowers, humming bird feeder & poles for them to hang on. They hang on the metal poles that the hummer bird feeder hangs on.  Sure hope we get some hummingbirds.  I love watching the hummingbirds.  I MISS the ones we had in Las Vegas, NV.   I could go outside and they would hang around me.  They got used to me while working in the yard with my roses, etc.  I feed them well. :-)  I made my own sugar water and they loved it.  I do miss Las Vegas, NV but I love it here in Wylie, Texas; Dallas area.  It's taking awhile to get the back yard like we want it but it's really looking good. Planted 2 trees, 6 rose bushes and a few other plants.
Just a few more things to do and the back yard will be finished. 

It's really windy here today and supposed to get lots of rain and high winds tomorrow.  They even mentioned Tornadoes.  I hope and pray no Tornadoes. 

WEIGHT WATCHERS!! TODAY! MMmmmmm!! Seems I was bad again this week. Gained!!!  Perhaps it's the mood I'm in and have been in for awhile.  I'm running here and there all the time it seems like.  Have to do this and that INSTEAD of Doing what I want to do the most.  YES! CREATE IN MY STUDIO MORE!!  I REALLY THINK I will get some creating done this week.  WOOHOO!
Nothing like being so far behind on things that it looks like it will take forever to get started.

CREATING:  Got a question for you??? Do you ever get so side tracked that when you do get the time to create, you don't know what to create first?  Well, that is something that goes on in my head.
I usually start on more than one thing at a time.  I know I probably should work on one creation at a time and finish it before I start on another one (it's not me) :-).  Might just try that this week. :-) 

I did finish a couple of pin dolls for a Pin Doll Swap I'm doing.  They are ready to mail. WOOHOO!

Now to start on a doll I started on a week ago.  I'll finish her.  I haven't even put anything on my Etsy Shop yet. :-(   Last time I worked on it I had a hard time saving the pics, etc.  Everything disappeared and I haven't tryed to put anything on it again. 

I haven't even updated my Picturtrail in a long long time.  I have a list of TO DO a mile long. :-)  Hopefully I will have a picture of something I created to post tomorrow. 
We Shall See..........................................................
UNTIL TOMORROW,
Hugs
Fran
