New York City


Hi Ya'll,
This past summer I went to New York City for the first time in my life. I went with my sister and nephew. We had such a wonderful time. Saw so much in the short 5 days we were there. The only thing was I was just really not feeling well while we were there. And still didn't feel right for the next couple of months. So went to my Doc and found out I was diabetic.
This is a new venture for me. I guess it has forced me to get back in shape and eat healthy. I've tried for years,but now it's a must. It's been an adventure trying to find what works with me. I eat the wrong thing and my sugar goes up. I've given up sweets for over a month and when I ate something at Christmas, boy it was too sweet. It's just playing the number game now.
I am going to use my Crafts as a way to keep me busy. Boy, did it keep me busy during the holidays. I made gifts for co-workers and didn't even think about snacking at night. So crafting will have to be my not snacking crutch...lol..
Anyone out there diabetic?? What good recipes do you have? Oh, I ate some potatoes yesterday for lunch,,well, that shot my numbers way up. So no potatoes for me for quite sometime..
Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful New Year.

What's up for the New Year??


Hi,
What's up for the New Year?? Well, I'm gonna start working on getting my Crafting Business back on track. I want to enter some Craft Show's this year and I really need to plan ahead. From what I'm reading on blogs, forums, etc. ya'll work all throughout the year. My favorite time of the year is Christmas and I love making Prim Christmas Crafts. I started playing around making and grunging Candles. I really love doing that. I just love all the bakery smells.
I need to clear a space in my spare bedroom and get to work. Would like to get started on sewing as well.

So, what's up with all of you? What are your plans for the New Year. Hope everyone has a wonderful new year coming up.
Take care,
Melanie
P.S. Had to add a Pic of one of my Grandson's. He lives in Germany. I miss him so much. Huggs...

Trying to set up my blog

Well, I am trying to figure this blogging thing out. I want to
add buttons and I am having a very hard time. I will have to
do some more research on this.
I still have my Christmas decorations up and need to take those
down sometime this week. I'd like to start on something for
Valentines Day.
Well, this is short again,,,gotta figure this computer stuff
out. Learning own my own...
