I planned on updating today with how my marathon training is going...but it's not going anywhere. Last Sunday I rolled my ankle on my run and i've been down for the count ever since. I've been doing the R.I.C.E. thing as much as I can...rest, ice, compression, panic...I mean elevation. But between chasing the kids to softball and baseball practices, working full time and trying to eat my weight in pizza rolls on Sunday, the recovery has been slow going. I rode the stationary bike twice this weekend and tried out the elliptical today at the gym. No real pain but it just feels unsteady and shaky. So I guess I will be resting for a few more days. Wish me luck. I am no good at resting.
So today I will share you with the Crop Suey Challenge for February!! You need to use 9 items on your layout...that's the challenge! Multiples count as 1, so if you use 3 buttons = 1 item. Easy, right?
I hoard my Jillibean Soup papers like nobody's business but I thought the colors were perfect for this softball photo from last least. My daughter was on the Orange Tigers and let me tell you...they were ORANGE!!!I used some more Jillibean Sprouts...
And I really love these big white flowers. I think I got them at Oriental Trading! You know, a gross of flowers for about $5 or something like that.
I hope you join us over at Crop Suey this month. The winner will get some awesome Cosmo Cricket papers and that is worth playing for!
I hope you all have a great start to the week. I have some Superbowl munchies that I made yesterday that I will share this week and hopefully squeeze in some Valentine treats as well. And...maaaayyyybe a run. We'll see...Thanks for stopping by!
Adorable pics and the embellishments are so perfectly matched!
