My very first Swap and first ATC

Though I've done a few minis that you can view on You-Tube under TheKncLodge, I just joined my very first swap and this one is for an ATC, which I've never done either.  My assigned partner over at Swap-Bot has over 1000 swaps! I'm excited and a little nervous to get this right...
The swap is for an ATC with a puzzle piece in it.

I will update when I finish the ATC.

Scrapaholic

Yes, I've joined the ranks of those who are hooked on scrapping!!
After my hubby and I went on a trip around the country this summer, I decided that we needed a scrapbook.  There's where my journey and love for art begins... I never thought of myself as creative, I'm an accountant for goodness sake.  But once I got started on this scrapbook, I fell in love and have been making cards and mini albums, and now posters ever since. 

Gone Raw 12.3.10

Started raw food diet on 12.3.2010.
Lost 5 pounds in the first week and 4 in the second. This is fantastic considering that I was diagnosed with low thyroid a few years ago.  Losing weight is very hard for me.
Ok, this 3rd week I gained a couple, too much cooked food and stress with company and babysitting my friends insane dog! 
So far I am experiencing some detox, the first week it was just a runny nose.  The second week, I had bad gastro intestinal issues, including intermittent constipation and diarreah.  Things seem much better this week.
There is a lot of hit and miss experimenting getting the green smoothies to taste good, but I've managed to create a perfect raw hot chocolate recipe which I am enjoying so much.  And find that using bananas almost always makes a green smoothie taste good.
