No Bread!

Today is day 4 without eating breads, pastas, chips or grains. I am doing pretty good considering that I am a complete bread/carb-aholic. On Monday, I will start cutting out all white sugar from my diet. This will not be hard as I don't eat a lot of candy or sweets. I took a little time to make some birthday cards for the January b-day gals in the stamp club I belong to. This year I have challenged myself to not forget the special people in my life. I always feel horrible when I let someones special day go by without as much as a card. I will try to scan and upload pics tomorrow.

New year, new blog.............

Well here it is January 1 and I am starting a blog, not really sure why, it just seems like it will be a fun way to share my love for my family and a little of my creative side. I love to do rubber stamping and paper arts. Hence the name for my blog......Ink-clinations.

I have been stamping form more years than I can remember and love to hoard paper, stamps, inks, embellishments and all things related. I have been published a couple of times and that was a highlight for me.

I didn't make any resolutions for this year, I will set some goals and will work to make them possible.

A little more about me: I have been married for 20 years to David and we have two great teenage sons, Jimmy (19 1/2) and Jon (15 1/2) and two adorable terrier mix dogs; Abby and Wags. That's Wags in the picture above. We live in the foothills just south of Yosemite National Park and enjoy the nature around us very much.

I hope to do some stamping soon and will share my creation with you.

Hugs,

Melissa
