I don't have too much to talk about today. Mark and I had our 10 week weigh in yesterday and Team Tilman is now down a combined total of 51 pounds! Hooray! The other day my sister told me my legs were getting skinny and I totally grinned. I haven't heard the word skinny in relation to any of my body parts for many years. We're feeling great, shaping up, but still needing to work on reducing the amount of stress in our lives. It's kind of a tough thing to do when you run your own business, but I'm trying to remember to not sweat the small stuff. Today has enough worry... tomorrow will take care of itself.... true story! {grin}

This is so beautiful.
Fantastic card (as always!). Love the girliness of it! I am trying to figure out how to reduce my stress just now, apparently it causes a lot of health problems! =) I am going to use your lovely sketch today to carve out a little stress-free time! Thanks for the inspiration. Have a fabulous day, Julee!
Oh my goodness!! What a beautiful card!!!
Love your beautiful card! It is quite girlified! I wish I had the courage and get back on the bandwagon where healthful eating and exercise is concerned. I know it is the right thing to do and I know that I love it when I am doing it...it's just so hard to start!
Wowsers Julee this is gorgeous! Congrats on your weight loss it is so difficult! Every pound should be celebrated!
Horray for you guys! Your weight loss is an inspiration for me! This is an interesting sketch this week, I've already got my thinking cap on (when I should be working, lol). Your card is lovely!! Love the triangles, they'll be fun to work with. Thanks!
Ack!!! Those colors make me want to just eat up that card whole! ;-D Fabulously beautiful colors - love it!
Congrats on the weight loss, and best wishes as you continue on in your goals. I hope you are able to find the balance in all things. ;-)

WoW! That is beautiful.
SO gorgeous, Julee, and a big happy congrats to Team Tilman!!! As a Tillman, I'm kinda partial to that particular team... :)
After two weeks of vacation it is nice to be back in cyber world catching up. Love the card and hope to have time to play with the sketch.
Well done Team Tilman!!! Keep up the good work. Always SO rewarding to see the hard work paying off :) Keep up it up and enjoy shopping for new clothes :)
Trusting you can find a good balance with the stress issue. My dad was self employed all his life and hubby owns his own business so I have lived and continue to live in that zone myself. My catch phrases: 1) What is the worse that will happen if I don't do/do something 2) How do you eat at elephant? One bite at a time 3) Make sure you take some time for yourself (as you are doing with your mixed media fun :) 4) Be thankful for the little things and as you said, don't sweat the smalls tuff 5) Be proud of your accomplishments and celebrate them! You've done an amazing job with Verve and I am totally proud of you as I know what it takes to step out on your own and make it work. Hugest of (((hugs))) to you and Mark :)
Wow...this is gorgeous! I love the colors and all of the pretty bling!!!
Oh, wow, just beautiful, Julee! I love the colors and ink sponged on the edges!
Oh what a fabulous sketch! Your card is wonderful!!! I need to play catch up while being away this week. Can't believe I haven't stamped in 6 days! Hope I remember how...haha!
What a beautiful card. I love the pink and brown combo. Beautiful flowers and placement of the ribbons. Congratulations on the 51 pounds down. Keep up the great work.
