a child of the 70s and 80s

for christmas, we got the family a wii fit, and i think i'm the one that is most excited about it. it took a week of getting to target just after they opened each morning, but i finally got it, and now my family laughs at me when i play it. but it is SO MUCH FUN! my favorite aerobic game is definitely the super hula hoops, i'm very good,funny, i wasn't that good as a kid in the seventies, i've definitely improved. the step dancing one is pretty funny as well, it's just like the dancing we learned at school then church dances, left to right, right to left. it's very boring according to a and e, but i'm enjoying it immensely, i was a kid when step aerobics began! i'm terrible at boxing, but i vow to get that one down, it's quite intriguing. i've always wanted to know how to box, honestly. as for the the other activities, yoga is lovely, i stink at upper body and core strength training, am pretty good at leg and arm strenght, and the balance games are quite fun. i love the penguin balance game and tight rope walking (despite my fear of heights). not so good at snowboarding, but i'll get it. i woke up sore on friday and saturday morning, so i know i'm doing something right. there's something not annoying about a step board coaching you along. i definitely recommend it if you're wavering.

tonight is the reveal for studio calico's january kit. another case where if you're wavering, i'd definitely recommend it. i LOVE this kit. i love the layouts that i created with it, some of my all time favorites! there are exclusive studio calico papers in this kit, they are wonderful!

here's a picture of the kit, it's still available and the glossary and footnotes addons are as well, but they won't last long if history holds true...


this is one of the stamps you can buy separately, it's so cool! it sells for $5.50 and you can get it in the shop.


one of my favorites, this is the one i put together then added the picture.


not my favorite, but i really liked getting one of my favorite new years traditions down on paper. it's a little too busy for me, but i love the library card stamp so much!


another of my favorites. how could a page about my sweetie not be a favorite?


started as a joke, but it makes me smile every time i see it. it's funny how people become friends, and i love that gillian is one of mine.


this one came together so easily. i just love how happy it feels, a perfect tribute to my amazing parents.


not my favorite, not sure why i included it :)


love this one though. do you get it? the U is a different color and there's a 2 inside it. congratulations to you :) i was so proud of myself!
