Good morning, y’all!
Well? What do you think of the new look?
There’s probably a little tweaking left to do, but…I’m loving it – and sending a great big Thank You to Jane from Fancy That Jane who managed to fulfill all my requests! Dogwoods – pines – and the pony! Plus – my favorite wood background! Remind you of any particular paper in the Wood Textures DSP? 😉
Now – if you’ll forgive me the indulgence – I’m going to pat myself on the back just a smidge.
Yesterday, at the grocery store, I ran into my good friend.
Only – she looked right at me and didn’t recognize me!
Guess that’s what dropping 106 pounds will do, eh? 🙂
Yep. That’s the current number!
So – my loss is your gain! Literally!
For today and tomorrow only – I’m offering DOUBLE Peppermint Points on all orders over $50 (before Shipping and Tax)!
I’m celebrating losing the equivalent of two bags of feed (and a big ole bag-o-carrots!)!
Here’s the fine print:
1. All orders of $50 or greater (before shipping and taxes) placed through my online store between now and the end of the day tomorrow (31 Mar) will earn DOUBLE PEPPERMINT REWARD POINTS!!
2. Don’t forget to add the Host Code below if your order is under $150 to get your free thank you gift (orders over $150 automatically get the free thank you gift!). 🙂
3. For more information about my Punkin Head Peppermint Reward points (my buyer reward program), click here.
Let me know if you have any questions. 🙂
And the second way I’m celebrating is by giving away an awesome BLOG CANDY Package!
What’s in the Striped Box?? Well – it’s the Soft Sayings All Inclusive Card Kit!
And stacked on top? How about the Layered Leaves Dynamic TIEF? A roll of 5/8″ Burlap Ribbon, a pack of Tutti-Frutti Adhesive-Backed Sequins and a package of Crushed Curry Baker’s Twine.
So – how can you get this package of goodness?
Leave me a comment ON THIS BLOG POST! We made some resolutions together at the beginning of the year – how’s it going? Let me know and you’ll be entered to win!
You’ve got until the end of the day on Thursday, 5 Apr 18, to leave your comment and be entered to win! On Friday morning, the 6th, I’ll use my handy Random Number Generator to select three lucky winners! I’ll announce the winners in that day’s blog.
Please note, per the Demonstrator rules from Stampin’ Up!, anyone can leave a comment, but I’m only able to ship Stampin’ Up! merchandise to addresses within the United States. Thanks for your understanding and good luck!! 🙂
So – two ways to help me celebrate my new look – Blog and Hindquarters!
1. Place an order of $50 or greater between now and the end of the day on Saturday (which just so happens to be the end of Sale-A-Bration 2018!!) and earn DOUBLE Peppermint Points!
2. Leave a comment here on this post between now and next Thursday evening, and be entered to win some cool Blog Candy!
Hope you’ll play along on both counts!

Finn Fan Fix
Finn’s taking a little break today. To be honest, he’s not feeling very well, so we’ll be headed to his doctor as soon as they open this morning. Y’all be thinking good thoughts for his speedy recovery from…whatever he’s got! 🙁

I love your new look. Jane did a marvelous job with your wants. I am so sorry to hear that Finn isn’t feeling well. I sometimes forget that furry children can get sick. See, I told you I didn’t recognize you at the meeting…you lost a person! Congratulations on your fortitude. It’s not easy to even lose 10 pounds. I need to drop 20 but I have no will power! Kudos to you! Don’t lose anymore or else you’ll disappear.
She really did!! She’s amazing – and very very patient! 😉 I think he’s just got a little bug – at least I hope so! I’ve got about 15 left to hit the “sweet spot” the doc gave me. And 20 would give me a little buffer! Thanks so much, Karen! 🙂
I LOVE your new blog look Mary! So bright and fresh. Love the new header and sidebar images too. Jane is awesome!! 🙂 And a huge congrats on 106 pounds! I’m struggling to drop the 15 that I’ve gained since moving to the south…guess that I need to follow your lead and stop eating so much. 😉 Hope that Finn feels better soon!
Those last 15 are probably the hardest! I know you can do it, Amy (although I don’t know that I believe you NEED to!). Thank you so much – and thank you SOOO much for the lead to Jane! 🙂
Keep us posted on Finn’s diagnosis and if he is doing better. Other than my own, he is my favorite dog!
I sure will, Barbara – he’s already feeling better! A trip to the doc and the promise of chicken and rice…makes a kid feel better right quick! He’ll be back tomorrow! 🙂
Forgot to send congrats on your 106 weight loss. That is great!! I have lost 10 on WW and I am over the moon!
Thanks, Barbara – and many congrats to you, as well! 🙂
You are having quite the year!!! Congrats on ALL your achievements. The site is beautiful.
Thanks, Mary – it’s going pretty well so far, for sure! Appreciate you! 🙂
Congrats! Wish I could do as well. Your new look is great!
Thanks, Val! And good luck!! 🙂
Wow!!! I love this new look and congrats on your success. My resolution hasn’t been very successful but today is a new day.
That’s pretty much what I have to say every day. “Just do it one more day”! And it’s hard! Good luck!! And thank you so much, Kathy! 🙂
I am undecided on the new look (for the blog), and certain your new “minus 106#” look is fabulous. I think I will like the new look when I get used to it. Hope the unwell Finn is very temporary!
I’m sort of loving both! I love to be able to put on clothes I couldn’t wear “before”! Finn’s on the mend already! 🙂
Love the new blog look Mary. And oh my! 106lbs, what an accomplishment. Congratulations on a healthier new you. I’m hoping your weight loss has inspired me. I know you’ll take care of Finn so let us know how he’s doing.
Hope so, too – if I can do it, anyone can, I promise!! Thank you so much, Denise – and the Finn-meister will be back tomorrow! 🙂
Congratulations, Mary, on the new blog look and on the new YOU look! As someone who’s struggled with weight all my life, I KNOW what an accomplishment that is. I’d heard you mention your diet before and I could tell you’d lost weight in your hands (LOL!), but, I had no idea that it was that much. So proud of you!
I know! I can see it in my hands in the video, too! Funny! Thank you so much, Cindy – I appreciate y’all! 🙂
What a great new look Mary! It’s so natural. Jane took your idea to the next level! Beautiful and breathtaking 💖. Job well done on your 106 lbs. I’m sure Finn was a big help. Way to go! Speaking of Finn hope he’s up on all four paws soon. Sending best get well wishes to that cutie!
She sure did! I love love love it! 🙂 Thanks so very much, Susie! 🙂 Ands yes – Finn’s on the road to recovery! 🙂
What an awesome update! Cleaner and brighter. Matches your spirit. Congrats on the weight loss. I just went through a juice reboot and lost 10 lbs! You lost 10X as much! Good for you; I know you can do whatever you set your mind to do. Keep us updated on Finn.
I’d fail miserably at a juice reboot – probably GAIN 10 pounds! Thanks so much, Gale – sweet comments! 🙂
Absolutely LOVE your new look. I thought that background looked familiar. I really love the softness look of it yet still bright. Beautiful job! Congratulations on your 106lb loss, that’s AWSOME. Wish I could do that. Hope Finn is feeling better real soon. Nothing like a sick puppy that can’t tell you what’s wrong.
Yep – it’s hard. And makes you worry at every little thing they do “different”! Thanks so much, Karen! 🙂
Congrats Mary on both of the new looks, yours and the site”s! Send me some of your will power will ya? Hugs for Finn, please let us know how he fares at the vet. He is everyone’s favorite canine and I shouldn’t say that because I have two rescue fur-kids! lol
He’s a star! And he knows it! He’s already feeling better – a trip to the vet will do that, you know! I don’t even know where I got the willpower this time – I’ve failed most every other time! Thanks so much, Carole! 🙂
New Year resolution? Hmmm. Let’s not talk ‘bout that. 😕
Hats off to you for your tremendous achievement! You go girl!
Our poor Finn, no fun when our critters are under the weather. Please give us an update on how things went at the vet, and hug Finn’s furry neck for me. ❤️
LOL! Okay – we won’t talk about it! Thanks so much, Pat! He’s already on the mend and will be back tomorrow to tell you all about his trip to the doctor! 🙂
Well I have not done so well this year. Had knee surgery in January and I fed my misery. Starting a weight loss program on Monday and am super excited.
Knee surgery sort of changes the playing field! I am a misery-feeder, too! 🙁 Good luck with the journey – I know you can do it! Thanks, Sheri! 🙂
The new site looks fabulous!!!! And congratulations on your major loss–what a fantasic thing!
Thanks so much, Jenny! I’m loving it!! 🙂
Hi Mary,
CONGRATULATIONS … 106 pounds … WOW !!! That is an amazing accomplishment !
The last 15 (maybe 20) will be off before summer and swimsuit season 🙂 !
Love the new Blog look … very nice !!
Hope all is well with Finn … sure wish our fur babies could talk and tell us where it hurts .
Hugs,
Robbie
Thanks so much, Robbie! I plan on that last bit being gone well before the swimsuit season, but…shorts will likely be as far as I go! 😉 Finn’s well on the mend, I believe! 🙂
I am so proud of you! What a tremendous achievement. When is the trip to Alaska?? Your new design is awesome, I love it. Jane did a great job. So sorry Finn is under the weather. I look always look forward to his latest antics. Hope he is 100% soon.
Thank you, ma’am! Those careful times and you making sure to have veggies for me helped me stay on track even in the face of the huge temptation! Appreciate you! And – Alaska is in July! Whoo-hoo!! 🙂
WOW! I LOVE the new look! Jane nailed it!! And another WOW to your weight loss! Holy rice cakes, Mary! You are AMAZING! I bet your doctor is turning cartwheels! Congratulations! But – poor Finn, I hope it’s just a bug😷
Yep – the doc is happy! For the first time in a…well, loooooooong time! 😉 Thanks so much, Elisha! And yes, Finn’s on the mend! 🙂
Good Morning…I LOVE your blog’s new look as I am in the process of setting mine up and getting it looking the way I want…boy…it is a process. Congrats on losing basically a person. I did that about 10 years ago now and people I had known for years didn’t recognize me once all the weight was gone. Good Luck on your journey to hit your goal.
It’s not always easy! Jane’s awesome and I highly recommend her! Thank you so much – and congrats on YOUR weight loss (another not-easy thing!). 🙂
Mary, I loved your former web site, but the new design is lovely. Congratulations on your remarkable achievement – you are an inspiration! So, I’ve kept up my gratitude journal although I do not decorate it with stamping every day . . . Oh my, double peppermint reward points? I must place an order and I’ll give my husband your phone number so he can yell at you. – Ellie P.S. Sending Finn a get-well hug!
Hey Ellie – thanks so much! I’m glad that you’ve kept going with your journal resolution! Yeah!! And – tell your hubby you have to SPEND money sometimes to MAKE money! And – since you just earned a $40 reward with today’s order…I’d say it was an excellent investment! 🙂
Love the new Blog look. It’s fabulous!! I’m so happy to have found you. I love your paper crafting style and sense of humor. Have to say Finn is a big draw as well ( although sorry he’s not feeling well).. Congratulations on your determination and will power.
Yep – Finn’s a star – glad that you found us, too and that you like what I do here on the Blog! 🙂 Thank you so much, Carol! 🙂
Hi Mary!
LOVE the new look. It is softer looking.
Congratulations on your weight loss! It is not an easy journey to take.
Poor Finn! Hope he is back to his young self quickly!
Thanks for the chance to win blog candy!
Have a goid week.
Thanks, Paula! He’s already feeling better! 🙂
Love the new look. Absolutely inviting and wonderful to look at. Congratulations on your personal weight loss. Inspired by you. Hopefully Finn is better. Love pictures of him.
Ha e a wonderful day
Thank you so much, Lin! Finn is already feeling better, I think – but keeping a close eye on him! 🙂
First of all, Congratulations on the weight loss! What an accomplishment! Pat yourself on the back a few more times!!! Wish I was close enough to give you a pat and a hug. Second, love the new look on your page. Third, I’m missing my Finn Fix today. Hope he feels better soon. Happy Easter weekend to you and your family.
Thank you so much, Judi! I appreciate it. And Finn is already feeling better – something about getting the mom to take you to the doctor just turns things right around sometimes! He’ll be back tomorrow! 🙂
Love your new blog refresh! It is beautiful.
Congrats on losing 106! That is amazing. I’m proud of you and how this will change your life! Weight loss is huge in every aspect of our lives!
I’m so glad I got to meet you in person in November. Keep up the good work.
Thanks so much, Kristi! I appreciate you – and am also really glad we got to have the time in Salt Lake!! It was a blast! 🙂
Congratulations Mary on an amazing weight loss! How inspiring! I really enjoy your sense of humour, blog and videos, all the best from BC Canada.
Thanks so much, Valerie! I appreciate that! 🙂
Congratulationd! It takes a lot of work to take those pounds off ( living with a husband who is also working on this feat, which means I am as well since I’m not making 2 meals)
Love reading your blog, and catching up with the “south” from the far north of California
Oh I feel the pain of the double meals! When Wayne’s home – I make him something he can eat and then – sometimes – make myself something else! Depends on the meal! Good luck to your husband – and you by association! Thanks much, Carrie! 🙂
Mary, you are my she-ro!! What an amazing accomplishment!! My goal was to eat healthier and the wonderful byproducts are clearer thinking (always a plus) and losing weight! Plus my lab numbers are better and I bet yours are too. I love your blog and your beautiful inspirational cards…and you are funny, girl! Happy spring!
Thanks so much, Peggy! I’ll have a physical in a month or so and am hoping the lab numbers reflect the scale! Congrats on your accomplishments, too! And I sure appreciate the kind words! 🙂
Hi, Mary! I wish I had found your blog before several months ago! Congrats on the weight loss. That’s a difficult thing to do so you are to be commended for sticking to whatever you are doing in order to lose weight. Next, I do like your new site. Great look! Finally, I truly enjoy reading your blog every day. I love your cards, and whenever I CASE one it always looks spectacular. Thank you.
Well – those are very kind words, indeed! Glad you found me, Maryanne! I’m tickled to hear that you’re enjoying CASEing some of my projects and that the instructions allow you to get them like you’d like them to be! Thank you so much! 🙂
Mary, congratulations the weight loss and the new blog looks great! I think my goal was to better at sending out my cards on time. I am doing okay with that but some are still getting out a day late. So more work is needed in time management on my part., At least all the bills get paid on time!LOL!
Well – the cards will be welcome whenever they arrive, I know! Bills? They’re a little pickier – so…if you have to pick one or the other I think you’re making the right choice! Thanks so much! 🙂
You’ve been dieting since I’ve been following you so I didn’t realize you were losing soooo much! Congratulations on that huge accomplishment! What a sense of pride you should have in yourself! I have no willpower–you knew that about ordering and the same is true about losing weight! Congrats too on the fun new look for your blog. Tha jauntiness of the font fits your sense of humor. Hope Finn is feeling better and continues to improve.
I had a bunch to lose! I am pretty proud of it, to be honest. And am trying to congratulate myself with some new clothes (suitable for an Alaskan cruise, maybe?!?) and not food! 🙂 Thanks for the kind words on the blog and the me! Finn is feeling better, I believe! 🙂
So glad I’m reading this late enough to learn that Finn is much better! And what a surprise to see your new blog look, which is lovely, especially the shiplap behind the header. But most of all I have to say I am, in your words, gobsmacked at your total weight loss! Seeing just a smidge of you in the photo from Amy’s meeting last week, I understand now why I wasn’t sure it was you. It was New You! Congratulations on all your changes. Life is good!
Yep – it was the “new” me! I’m half of my former self! Yikes! Thanks so much, Kathy! And yes – I do believe he’s on the “other side” of whatever this was! 🙂
Congrats on your new looks, your blog and your new fabulous ‘you’. Did you start your weight loss journey at the beginning of the year? Great job!!
Hey, Pam – thank you so much! No – I’ve been doing this since last year – 341 days, in fact (my app is counting for me!). It hasn’t been terrible but I confess to being quite tired of counting every single thing! But…I DO like buying “little” clothes (it’s all relative, yes?!?)! 🙂
Hi !! Found the comments !! Don’t know why I am entering . I very seldom win these sorts of things… but just wanted you to know that I am reading your blogs !!! LOL Thanks Mary !!
Can’t win if you don’t enter, right!? Thanks so much for reading my ramblings, Nyoka! Good luck! 🙂
Firstly, Mary – CONGRATULATIONS on your weight loss. GO GIRL.
Secondly, give your Finn a gentle pat and tickle from my Finn (an Aussie too).
And lastly, love your new website look.
Hugs and tickles and tail wags: Mal and Finn
Thanks so much, Mal! I appreciate the kind words! And yes – I’ll give Finn a pet and a tickle for Finn! And you! 🙂
Wow! Your new website look is gorgeous! Love it!
Major congrats on the weight loss. Takes a serious amount of willpower. I need to work on mine.
Thanks so much, Kristina! I appreciate it. Funny how seeing the words “pre-diabetic” on a physical kicked my willpower into gear! Before that…nothin’! 🙂
Forgot to reply to your question about the resolutions made in January.
I had said I would send Happy Mail each week. Although not quite doing this every week , have not been a complete failure. I do send out about 4 happy mails a month so it comes to about the same thing.
It’s all about the averages, yes!? Good for you, Paula!! Thanks! 🙂
Wow, Mary! As someone on a similar weight loss journey I know how hard it is! I have been doing ideal protein for just over a year now. Started very fast, but now more slow and steady. I agree shopping is WAY more fun now! Congrats on your success! And how exciting to be so close to your goal! I also LOVE the new blog look! Love reading it and seeing your beautiful creations every day; and getting my Finn fix too. 😊 Glad to hear he is better. You are an inspiration in many ways. One of my resolutions was to get my blog going. Still not done with it, but don’t want to call it a failed resolution just yet!
Never a failure! Just a delay. I know you’ll reach your weight goal AND get your blog going! Thank you very much for the nice words, Laurie! Appreciate them overmuch!
Wow! Congratulations to you! That’s awesome! I need some of your determination. And I’m glad Finn is feeling better. And finally, I love the new look of the blog. Good choices all around.
Those words “pre-diabetic” were good for a giant dose of determination, for sure! Thanks so much, Joni! And yes – he’s on the mend (or mended already!). 🙂
Congrats Mary, way to go!! I know it is hard to keep on your program, but so worth it! Love the new website, looks wonderful! As far as resolutions, I am not as on the pace as you are; I have not been able to get my stamp room organization done as much as I had hoped. Glad to hear Finn is feeling better, it’s the pits when the pups don’t feel well. Happy Easter! and thank you for your blog!
Yep – I feel so much better! And shopping for clothes is actually not something to dread now!! Thanks so much, Janice! 🙂 Happy Easter to you!
Congratulations on your huge weight loss. What a great feeling that must be. Glad to hear that Finn is better and that it wasn’t something serious. I’ve been trying to send out more cards this year instead of sticking them in a box. So far-so good. I also really enjoy making cards to send to our home bound members of our church. The feedback has been wonderful. It’s amazing what a card can do to make their day.
How wonderful of you to do that, Karen – I know they appreciate the homemade cards so much! Congrats to you! Thank you so much for the kind words – and yes. I, too, am pretty happy Finn didn’t have more than a tummy ache! 🙂
WOW what a wonderful job on the blog. And special congratulations for the weight loss!! That is the hardest thing I ever did was loose weight especially 100 pounds! I got all 10 of the nutrisystem bears when I did it. I just have to place one more order so why not with you! I really like Karen’s comment about home made cards. Glad Finn is ok. I don’t always leave a comment but I do love your videos, cards & everything about you. That is very nice blog candy, Good Luck to everyone (Especially Me)!! TFS.
🤗
Kay
Congratulations on winning your weight battle – and it IS a battle, is it not?!? 🙁 Thanks so much for the kind words, Kay – I appreciate it! And am so glad that you enjoy the blog and videos! Best of luck in the drawing! 🙂
Wow! Congrats Mary! That’s no small feat, what’s your secret? Love the new look, loved the old one too! Love to Finn and glad he is on the mend, no fun having a sick poochie!
Counting and tracking every. Single. Calorie. I used a wonderful app called Lose It – a fancy (yet free!) – electronic food log. Turns out that’s the secret. It was eye opening how many calories I’d been eating without REALLY realizing it! Thank you so much, Kathy!
I don’t remember how long you have been working on loosing the weight but you have done a wonderful job and I am sure that being ex military you have been well disciplined. Something that is very hard for a lot of us. Amazing what technology has to offer us, that app sounds like a handy tool to have to assist you in this wonderful achievement. Once again congrats! You, your family and your Dr. should be very proud.
According to the app…345 days! A year almost. And yes – I’d say it 80% why I was able to do it! And – it was free!! Discipline and food don’t mesh well for me – it’s a fight every day. Espceically if I’m tired/stressed/pissy/hungry….then it’s REALLY hard! Thank you so much, Kathy! I appreciate the words of congratulations! 🙂 🙂 🙂
Your Easter card brought tears to my eyes. Absolutely beautiful in so many ways. Blessings and thank you for sharing.
PS Love your new look.
Thanks very much, Lin – so glad that you liked it! Hope you had a very Happy Easter! 🙂
Mary – I add my congratulations on the weight loss to all the others you’ve received. What a fantastic achievement. I lost about 40 pounds last year and have gained 30 of them back — due to the stress eating I was resolving to conquer this year. Still working on it, and you’ll be very inspirational to keep me at it. My other resolution was to reorganize my craft area. I was drooling over your Stamp-n-Storage units back in January. I have managed to reorganize my area using things I already had (shopped the house) and am very happy to have done it. The year is not over yet – one resolution down and the other to attack with new energy! The new blog look seems very “you” and looks great.
Congratulations again!!!
Oh man – I’m sorry you’ve gained some of the weight back – I’m a stress eater, too. I always wish I was one of the people who say…”I’m just so stressed I just can’t eat a thing”. Instead I want to pound my weight in…chips/chocolate/cookies…so I mot definitely can understand, Laurie! 🙁 Best of luck in getting your arms around it again! I’m glad that you got your craft room organized – it DOES make it easier to do everything, doesn’t it!? Thank you so much – and good luck in the blog candy (totally calorie-free!!) draw! 🙂
Hi Mary,
As I told you the other day, I am wowed by your weight loss. Also, I love the horses and dogwood on your new blog look. I told you in January that I was going to organize a giant mess in my crafting shed.
I am so slow that it is either keep making cards for charity, or stop and organize. Too slow anymore to do both. I chose making the cards for charity. Mary, I am in such a disaster, I have to do something.
Thanks for all you do for me. Have a happy Easter Sunday. Congratulations, Mary.
Thank you so much, my friend! Your support means the world to me! A disaster in your craft area!? That sounds familiar! 🙂 I’ll wish you luck getting it organized while you continue to make your cards! Let me know how that works out, will you? Good luck in the draw, Karren! 🙂
Congrats on the weight loss. Such an accomplishment. Love the new blog look. I think it’s easier to navigate. I am a hobby card maker and enjoy getting inspiration from blogs I follow. My resolution is not to hoard my paper….lol. Thanks for the inspiration.
LOL! Good luck with that one! Thank you so much, Phyllis! Good luck in the drawing!
Congrats on your weight loss. You are such an inspiration to everyone in so many ways. God Bless
Thank you very much, Jody! That’s a lovely thing to say! Best of luck in the draw! 🙂
