I guess you could say that I'm on a bit of a roll. My black Friday sale went well so I decided to have one last sale this year.
I have to admit that in the past I have had a problem with being patient. The phrase "when you don't succeed, try, try again" meant nothing to me. I was stuck in the mentality that if it didn't go right the first time then that was it, and I was on to the next. Maybe this changes with age because as I get older I feel like something has changed in me. I now feel the need to perfect.
Just like my last project, this ring also gave me a bit of a fight but with some practice and patience I was able to create something that I am so proud of and that feels so good.
Love Erin...
OK, I know this is gonna be a long post but hopefully you'll bear with me. After reading more about the G.I diet or Glucose Index Diet I realized that this is not a diet at all but rather a totally new a easy way to change your eating habits for life. If I were to keep living my life the way I have been I will quickly become a canidate for heart disease, osteoporosis, diabetes and many more horrible things that I would rather not mention. Well that's not gonna be me.
By eating food that a low in glucose (sugar) thousands of people have been able to loose weight the healthy way. Not by starving themselves but by eating three solid meals and three snacks a day.
So many people think that they are making the right choice by cutting carbs out of there diet when it has been proven that our body and brain need carbs to function properly. All we need to do is learn the difference between GOOD CARBS and BAD CARBS.
This diet makes it so simple by giving you a stoplight guide to which foods will benefit and which will harm.
It even teaches you about portion control and gives hundreds of recipes to make hearty meals so you can never get bored with what you eat.
Well, I've said enough. I have decided to take control of my life and someday soon be able to fit into all those clothes still hanging in my closet from a skinnier day.
I know my blog has been dedicated to my passion for metal smithing but who says you can only have on passion. So I will be posting my progress along with some yummy recipes that I will be cooking up for myself. I know I cant be the only one out there that feels the way I do about myself, so hopefully this blog will reach someone else out there struggling with the same issues.
I will also be posting some new photos of some pretties later tonight... TA TA for now...Erin
Here's some photos from Shadya's Birthday. We went to the Kona Brewing Co. Best beer ever and I don't even like beer! Both Olaf and I worked that day so when we got there we wee STARVING. Needless to say our eyes were bigger than our stomachs and we ended up leaving with 5 heaping to go boxes full of food... Mmmmmm... Leftovers. Well Shadya had a blast which was all that mattered.

The Best Hummus in the world
Thats all for now...
She detests human food... With the exception of Parmesan cheese. Powder not graded.
She must sleep with her paw over her eyes as to not let in any sun light.
If she wants a fresh bow of food there is no meowing, no no she will delicately use her hind leg to kick whatever prize possession you have sitting on the counter... i.e. sunglasses, keys etc.
It is mandatory that she kill and disassemble one bird per month to be left on our living room floor. (Preferably after the white carpets have been steam cleaned. True story!)
Always the last one to say good buy at the car when you leave and the first to greet you at the bottom of the stairs when you get home.
Will only drink water if it has ice cubes in it. Or will accept running water from the sink or tub, never the toilet...
Has fur softer that a rabbit as told by her veterinarian...
With all of her little quarks she loves me unconditionally and I am so happy that god has placed this wonderful little creature in my life...
