You are so like me it's scary. I love scrapbooking. I just got started about a month ago and I went crazy buying supplies. I don't work on it at home at all because I don't have enough tools but I go to a class every other Tuesday to work on pages. I am making dh a Marine Corps scrapbook and so far I only have three pages done. All I do is choose the pictures I want to use, cut them to size and mat them on some colored paper. Then I arrange them on a page and add some stickers and stuff until I like the way it looks. You really can't screw it up. I also like to crochet, knit, and cross stitch. Pretty much any craft projects. I have a blanket to cross stitch that my mil bought me for Christmas. I won't make it until I get a bfp though because it will be for the baby's room. I can't wait.

I was into exercising for a while but slipped out of the habit. I just can't seem to stay motivated. I am also afraid to exercise when I get pg even though the doctor says it's fine. I used to do Pilates 3 days and week and Step Aerobics 3 days a week and alternate them every other day with Sundays off. I kept it up for about a month before I got lazy. I need to get back into it. I feel so much better when I exercise.

iv done some cross stiching but im not reall good at it i get frustrated with the counting of the squairs iv made of a few of them though. my latest was was for a lady on another board it was a pair of baby feet with a cute border that had the babys birth date on it it turned out cute. the thing i made before that was a block that has roses i did them in blue because the roses on the bodice of my wedding dress that i made were a pail blue it has a wedding prayer or blessing of sorts in on the top with the roses under neith it. it turned out really good for me not knowing what i was doing all that mutch. i can also do some embrodery my grandma taught me some of the baiscs of it and i can hold my own id like to learn some of the fancier tricks. i also want to learn how ti knit im thinking of getting a how to book for beginners to see if i can figure it out if love to knit some baby blankets. i love quilting big time every time their is a baby boren in our family the first blanket they recieve is a hand made quilt with a personalized blessing/prayer for them. I love all the scrapbook things dh got me he bought me an entire set of those skizers that cut different designs/patterns and a bunch of different glues and about 30 different glitter and matelic and pastel etc gel pens. totally aswem im so proud of him for thinking ot get me something so aswem he even got me an originazer for it all but its a little small to hole everything he got me and the stuff i already had. i need ot get my act together and get his military scrap book going i keep heasitating on starting it for some reasion. i see all these beutiful scrap books and i guess its intimidating me for some reasion i have a hard time chousing between pictures too i like way to many to just put one or two on a page. the last one i did turned out to be more of a collage with a little journaling on it because i liked way to many pictures i found this web site thats got free printable backgrounds bourders and lettering its kinda cool they even have tags that you cna print http://www.scrapbookscrapbook.com/ mabie you can get some stuff off their to help you out. thier are some things im wanting to print but i need to get more ink for the printer i ran it out printing resumes this last couple weeks.
I alternate between weights step arobics and cardo kick boxing i try to work out at least three days a week i feel so mutch better when i do after i get a BFP i will slow down a little and just listen to my body and what its telling me i think i will be safe and healthy that way the farther along i get i will probably just switch to walking as i get bigger and more tired but i think walking at the least will benifit both me and the baby.
