New glasses! After about 5 years of not wearing glasses or contacts, I figured it was time. I've worn corrective lenses since my early 20's - first glasses, then contacts, then the kids arrived and I didn't feel like dealing with the contacts during the months (years) of sleepless nights. But, now I have no excuses, so I went and this is what  I ended up with. I like the glasses, I just have to get used to wearing them all the time.

My sister in law sells Close to My Heart products http://adriane.myctmh.com/WebSites/Templates/MyCTMH/Template1.aspx?PageID=100316 and is doing a challenge this month. I decided I would play along! Here is my layout using CTMH products:

I used CTMH More to Adore paper (cardstock and paisley paper), ribbon, Hollyhock ink on the chipboard letters, The Works Alpha stamp to spell "cocoa", more cardstock for the journaling strips and distressed them with the Chocolate ink. Added a Heidi Swapp flower, a Bo Bunny brad and a Lil' Davis metal word.

The 31 days of layouts challenge was the goal for January, and I did it! Here are the rest of my layouts from the past week:

It feels so great to have done this challenge and I look forward to more! I was sitting here thinking "what am I going to do for my layout today?" and I don't have to do one, but I think I will anyway.

Tonight I'm headed over to my SIL/CTMH consultant for a card making workshop -- should be fun!
