Prim Decorations, Update On CT Scan
Top of the morning to you all! Many of you have asked me about the CT Scan results, I received the results yesterday and all was normal. I will am going to see the Gastroenterologist on February 18th. Thank you greatly for all your prayers.
******
Now for the fun stuff.....
The couch end table was looking a little bare, just one candle all by it's wee little self. Taking a little from here and there I came up with a cute little primitive vignette. The little star ornie in the cheese box says "When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding joy." Matthew 2:10. I made them by hand and gave them for gifts at Christmas this year.....they smell so yummy. The tag is pinned to the star with a rusty safety pin and bell.
Have a wonderful weekend!

Whatcha Working on Wednesday, Whats Cooking
It's Watcha Working On Wednesday!
Paper crafts and getting healthy is what it is all about in this house!
******
First off let me say thank you for all your prayers, I do not have the results to my CT scan as of yet but I have been feeling really good over the past few days. Praise the Lord for that!
******
I am still working on the scarf that I was knitting, to be honest I have not picked up in about a week, the not feeling well thing, but I think tonight I will be back at it again! Yahoo!
However, there is plenty of card making going on here, which I will post more pics of tomorrow but for now here is one of them.
Nothing like birds, eggs, nests, feathers and ephemera on a card, couldn't get better then that!!
Getting Healthy!! Please hold me to it! Mostly due to the health problems that I have experienced over the last few months I am getting healthy! Let me tell you what a rude awakening it was too! My name is Tami and I am over weight, I am not comfortable telling my weight, but there will be a day that I will tell all how much I did weigh, after a great loss. I have struggled with my weight for years, and I so need to say that this time it seems so different. It is a challenge but in the end it will all be well worth it. I will post updates time to time on my progress. Here are a couple things going on to get there.....
Exercise - I started working out to Leslie Sansone yesterday and let me tell you it is working, the muscles were a little achy this morning but that is not going to stop me from working out again today!
Eating Healthy - I made White Bean and Chicken Chili last night, I had a couple recipes but did not like either one, so I came up with something that turned out to have wonderful flavor and best part of it all hubby loved it. Here is the "recipe," I do not measure, yes, I am a "dumper" and proud of it! It's all about taste when you are a dumper.
******
White Bean and Chicken Chili
INGREDIENTS~
6 -7 Boneless, skinless chicken breast cup up into bite size pieces
1-28 oz Chicken stock (Swanson)
2 cans Northern beans
1-4 oz can Green Chilies, diced

Sea salt
