This Could be the Best Read of the Year!

Hi all,
Decided I would just journal a bit today. I was introduced to a book today that might be the best read of the year for me. Terri from Ramblings of a Texas Craft Room mentioned a book that she was enjoying on her blog the other day (it was on the scrap page she made for that day in the actual picture). So I asked here about the book and just now purchased it, yeah me. In just one book it helps me with 2 of the goals I have set for myself this year and I really think God had something to do with this! His glory shows in some of the oddest places. The book is called Made to Crave. Here is the description of the book from Amazon:
Return to product information

Made to Crave is the missing link between a woman's desire to be healthy and the spiritual empowerment necessary to make that happen. The reality is we were made to crave. Craving isn't a bad thing. But we must realize God created us to crave more of him. Many of us have misplaced that craving by overindulging in physical pleasures instead of lasting spiritual satisfaction. If you are struggling with unhealthy eating habits, you can break the 'I'll start again Monday' cycle, and start feeling good about yourself today. Learn to stop beating yourself up over the numbers on the scale. Discover that your weight loss struggle isn't a curse but rather a blessing in the making, and replace justifications that lead to diet failure with empowering go-to scripts that lead to victory. You can reach your healthy weight goal -- and grow closer to God in the process. This is not a how-to book. This is not the latest and greatest dieting plan. This book is the necessary companion for you to use alongside whatever healthy lifestyle plan you choose. This is a book and Bible study to help you find the 'want to' in making healthy lifestyle choices.


The way that 2012 is starting it's gonna be a fantastic year and I'm looking forward to the ride!
I'll let you know every once in awhile how it is going, With everything happening since the 1st of the year it maybe a good year to do an All About Me album. Terri has been following a challenge that sounds like fun and I could do it too with the start of 2012. Look out you may see it here soon with all the scoop about or you can check out Terri's blog and find out there. Have a fantastic day, I've got some cardmaking to do......

Goals for 2012

Hi All,
Hope everyone had a fantastic start to the New Year! Today I sat down with coffee in hand and jotted down my personal goals for 2012:

Since I quit smoking (3 years now, yeah for me and my husband), with that comes some other concerns the weight gain that associates with it (food was a friend of mine during that time). So my goal for the year is to lose at least 70 lbs by my 50th birthday in October.

To broaden my horizon and get out of my comfort zone a  bit I want to try new techniques and new folds for my cardmaking.

To work on at least 5 albums this year maybe 6:
  1. Family Heritage album
  2. MGCA album (continuing) (a antique tractor club my husband and I belong to)
  3. My youngest grandson's 1st year album for a gift for our son and daughter in law
  4. Cruise album (my mom and I went on 2 cruises (NY Mets fans appreciation cruises) in the late 80s)
  5. Work on a 2011 chronological album
  6. and maybe a separate Christmas album of just Christmases (unsure of this one)
Closer walk with God/Jesus. To get to know him better and to be in the word each day

To be on the blog more often (at least once a week but plan on more than that) and to do some fun things with some blog candy too.


Not to bad of list for the year and should be easily accomplished if I keep my mind to it and stay motivated. What are your goals for 2012 I would love to hear them....
