Auntie Pea's Blog: { New LOs & Pilates }

I've been busy busy sewing and working on websites but I've actually taken a little time to scrap over the past week. Usually after midnight but who needs sleep anyway right?! Got more fabric in for purses on order so that'll keep me busy this next week. And also working the 2-job thing again this week and getting ready for Leeandra's visit this weekend so this will probably be the last scrappin' I'll do for awhile.

This first LO I finished actually this morning and haven't even posted in the galleries yet. It's inspired by this LO by Jamie Waters and I used Jen's Country Carnivale kit & her glitter line and the painting brush strokes are from Nancie's Digital Distressing kit and staples by Michelle Coleman.

And this one I finished the other night. I've had the idea for this LO in my head for about a month now and finally put it together. It's lyrics from a song by Natalie Grant called 'the real me'. I kinda feel like this one's a little raw to be sharing online but then I thought, when it comes down to it, I'm pretty sure everyone has at one time or another felt this way about things. You can find the credits HERE except for the gorgeous blue butterfly which I think I searched for 2 hours to find back the night I finished the LO. If anyone knows who's it is please leave a comment here so I can give proper credit. I thought about just removing it since I couldn't figure out who to credit but the LO just isn't the same without it.

And then this last one I don't think I ever shared here but I actually finished it about a week ago with Gina's new Shabby Shack kit. I believe everything is by Gina from DDE but you can find the full credits on this one HERE.

And then the other night I ordered the new Mari Winsor pilates with the pilates circle and I've decided that I need to get back into working out in the morning. I haven't been doing it for months even though I always feel so much better when I do. So, since I love my regular mari winsor dvd's, I figured this new one with the circle would give me the extra push to get going again. I'm such a sucker for an info-mercial and this seemed like a great deal at $10 for a new workout routine. :) So to keep me motivated I think I'm going to post some type of symbol or pilates pose picture each day that I do the workout. If someone knows of a good place to find that sort of thing for a blog let me know. I think Shari had a fun one at one time. I found a couple pictures that could work but it's gotta look cool to make me wanna post it on my blog at least a few times a week. And a symbol might be nice cuz I could post a few next to eachother if I do my pilates 2 or 3 times but don't post to my blog until a few days later. So that's the plan. If you don't see a pilates character in my posts in the next week make sure you give me grief. :)

Have a happy 4th everyone! :)

SHawn - the LO's are stunning as usual! THe one about you is awesome and I am glad that you decided to post it. We all have hidden areas in life and this song is beautifully put! To God we are an open book and He loves us! The song reminds me of my blog theme - might have to use it a bit!

Hey there!! love pilates too. I've been searching for yoga poses... since that's my relaxation, rejuvination activity and I've been wanting to do a layout of it forever... if you stumble across any yoga clip art or images let me know... and if I run across any of pilates I'll let you know. :-)

I adore all of your layouts too! They are all wonderful!
