[this] is my progress + a giveaway

so my weight-loss journey is still consuming my time but it's paying off!! Since I started the Gold's Gym 12 week challenge (nearly 6 weeks ago), I have lost a total of 10 pounds and 11 inches, 4.5 of which were in my waist!! Yippeee!!! It's so exciting to see measureable AND visual changes that are completely because of ME! What power that is...it really gives me such a boost of confidence and not in a superficial way...it comes from knowing that I can change things. I am not a weak person, physically or mentally. I have the ability to change me...noone else has that ability...it's just so empowering. I can't wait to show you all a before and after photo. :) There are still about 7 more weeks left so I still have the potential to make a lot more changes.

So, NO new kits have been made...which may be disappointing, but for me, it;s okay. I have been designing for nearly 4 years without much of a break, so taking this time for myself has been really restful for me. I am STILL here, though..not giving up designing by any means...just taking a much needed break. Thanks for the love and support!!
SO, to celebrate, I am being allowed to offer a spot in my sister's upcoming SheArt Workshop!!


All you have to do is post a comment here to be entered in the random drawing. You may post on facebook about this contest and leave another comment with a link AND tweet about this and post with another link...for a total of 3 entries. Contest ends on Sat. night (about 10:30 MST)
GOOD LUCK!!
