<br />
<br />
I just finished the 3 Day Refresh with <a href="http://www.teambeachbody.com/nutrition-shake/shakeology">Shakeology health shakes</a>. This was a trial run for me to see if I wanted to continue using their program on a regular basis. I drink them more like a smoothie/shake with frozen fruit once a day substituted as a meal. This will help with my weight loss and to assist with my protein/nutrition intake since I don't eat that much but my metabolism has really slowed down since I have hit menopause. <br />
<br />
I decided that I was tired of being tired, lethargic, and out-of-shape because I was in meno. I wanted to take my body and mind back. I started to change my life back this summer. I changed the way I ate and I started to exercise moderately so my body wouldn't complain so much. I had already started to drop weight when I started this. I wanted something that would fit into my lifestyle on an on-going basis. I have been reading that women in meno/older women don't get enough protein. I am one who doesn't like to eat a lot of meat as it is and doesn't think about alternative ways to do it. I have the same issues with dairy because I am asian. <br />
<br />
My Team Beachbody coach, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/joy.ross.56?fref=ts&ref=br_tf">Joy Ross</a>, asked me if I was interested in Shakeology or the 3 Day Refresh. Initially, I was not and had to think about it a bit. This is something you have to do for yourself and decide that you are ready to do it for you and no one else. My husband was still on the fence about this and he paralleled what I did. He did most of what I did and he still lost weight. He is convinced and wants to do the 21 day reset but wants to do with me. <br />
<br />
What I did was order the 3 pack of chocolate/vanilla/strawberry to try the 3 flavors of Shakeology. I found out that I liked the chocolate the most. We both did not like Vanilla. My husband liked Strawberry but I kinda liked it but not a lot. I opted to change my order to only chocolate on a monthly basis. Instead of using ice to make smoothies, I used frozen strawberries/fruit to make it more tasty and healthy. When we have overly ripe fruit, I cut it up into small pieces and freeze for smoothies for the kids anyway. Fruit+yogurt+spinach+water= great smoothies. Now I just do Shakeology+water+frozen fruit=smoothies. <br />
<br />
Day 1 = morning we had Shakeology and some canteloupe. Midmorning was Fiber Sweep + nectarines. Fiber Sweep was not the best tasting but better with ice cubes in blender. Lunch was Vanilla Fresh plus vege stir fry with a bit of lemon juice and a bit of fresh garlic. Snack was just green tea. Dinner was another Shake with vege stir fry with some avocado with lemon juice and garlic. I drank a lot of water and green tea. I was full most of the time. What really satisfied me were the hot food and the avocado. Sometimes the coolness of the fruit was very refreshing. It was harder for my husband to get used to the portions. He was more hungry and had to be more cognizant of what he was eating and drink more water.<br />
<br />
Day 2 = morning we had Shakeology chocolate and some nectarine. Midmorning was fibersweep and some canteloupe. I had to make sure I drank plenty of water because it still tasted nasty to me. Lunch was just the Shakeology to me because I was not too hungry at this point. I did drink a lot of green tea and water still. I did have a hot dinner of stir fry veges with asparagus, snow peas, squash, tomatoes, and avocado with the Shakeology. <br />
<br />
Day 3 = canteloupe with chocolate shakeology. Midmorning with Fibersweep and lots of water. Glad no more of that. Lunch was just some fruit since we had gone to the Farmer's Market the day before - berries. Dinner was Shakeology with veggie stir fry with green beans, squash, tomatoes, and avocado. Always with lots of water and green tea. <br />
<br />
My weigh-in this morning - total pounds lost during the 3 days is 5 pounds. I am pretty happy with that. I have lost 10 pounds since I have started this journey. My husband lost a little more than my 5 pounds. We have decided to do the 21 Day Fix together.<br />
<br />
Whatever you decide to do in your journey, best of luck to you!<div class="blogger-post-footer">feed-links {

Guess which set of stencils I was using to make prints on my Gelli plate to create a paper house for no particular reason? Just because I felt like doing it while I sat and watched a movie. Yes, it included Lynn K's new "Marked" series from Artistcellar. This was the project I was working on last weekend.<br />
<br />
The house is held together with some washi tape on the outside. It is reinforced with masking tape on the inside. It is sitting on a book while I am sitting on the couch watching some movie. I have included the templates that I have used. You are welcome to email me (right column of my blog), include it in the your comment, or message me in FB, if you would like a copy of the house templates. If you include it in your comment, plz give me a place to send it. Thanks!<br />

While I was playing with my new Artistcellar stencils, I used a Gelli plate, Pebeo acrylics, cards stock, Lynn K's new Marked series stencils, other Articellar stencils, washi tape, masking tape, house template, and brayer. <br />
<br />
Here are the 4 stencils that are in the "Marked" series. Here is what they look like out of the package and used with a lot of ♥<br />
<br />
They are great abstract, texture, and background stencils. Their broad design works well on paper and with fabric. If you read to the end of this blogpost, you will find out how you can win your own, clean set of this fab stencils!<br />

Once asked to do the blog hop, I had to decide what projects to do with these stencils. If you know me, I have a tendency to do more than less. It is a teacher thing to over plan and to do more than less. <br />
<br />
My first project was to give my first house a friend. I did some more printing on the Gelli plate. Yet, at the same time, I didn't want the tall house to have an exact twin, so I made the second house a different size. <br />

Not all of the sides of the smaller house were done with printing. Some of the sides were done with Marked stencils + Pebeo iridescent paint mixed with gel medium to give it a little more texture. <br />
<br />
Second project was something that is I always like to do since I love texture! This is where I took a large sheet of watercolor paper and just randomly laid the stencils down in different places. I used a palette knife to apply the paint/gel medium mixture to the watercolor paper. If you want, you can apply a foundation color first, otherwise, you have to make sure the stenciled paint is completely dry before you can apply any other color to it. Once the stencil mixture was dried, I applied a background color and different metallic/iridescent colors to the texured stenciled ridges to create contrast. <br />

The edging was done with Tim Holtz's Distress Ink Pads. Black, then Vintage Photo, then Red Brick for that burnt look without actually having to burn any edges at all. Ribbon is sari ribbon from Leilani Arts. <br />
<br />
Third project was a ton of fun using some extra fabric that I had left-over from doing demos from the Quilt Show. I love to tear and sew, tear and sew. Quite a long time ago, I bought these spools from someone at a show and have been using them here and there for different projects. They come in different sizes. I made sure the widths of the fabric were smaller than the ends of the spool. I sewed together the different bits of printed fabric. I also sewed the edged lengths to make sure they would not fray down the line. I also sewed the open end a bit turned over to make rolling open the fabric easier. <br />

I hope that the few projects that I have posted here shows how easy these stencils are to use while pumping up your creativity. These stencils are NOT for ATCs only.<br />
<br />
As an artist, I like to experiment, so sometimes, things don't always turn out the way I thought it out in my mind. The fun is in the process and the surprise in the end result. A lot of the times, my end result is not very structured and is kinda messy. What I really liked about these stencils are the variety of shapes and words so that I could experiment. Also, I really liked that the stencils come pre-punched with a hole for the metal ring so I can keep the stencils together for future use. <br />
<br />
At the end of this post, you will see the list of blog hop artists, please visit them each day and comment on their blogs so you will get a chance to win a set of Pocket Stencils (your choice from one of the fun 5 sets). If you would like a set or two (or more) NOW, you can purchase them here at <a href="http://artistcellar.com/stampstencil/pocketStencils.html">artistcellar.com</a>. <br />
<br />
<b>One last thing, DON'T forget to comment at the end of this post for your chance to win one of the Pocket Stencil stencil sets! </b>What would I like to know in comments? I would like to know which of the stencil sets would you like to win or which one of the stencils from the sets is your fave? Personally, I am grooving on the mini gears in the Steampunk set, crown in chakras, charity (heart) in the Mini Virtues set, and absolutely love, love, love, all the words in both sets of create words/virtue words sets. Can't help that I love words since I'm a reading teacher. If I had to pick an absolute fave it would be the vintage key. It can do so much. <br />

I used the stencils here with wood blocks and styrofoam blocks with a text paper background on watercolor paper. The color was done with Derwent Watersoluble Inktense Blocks. Some the stencils were used with modeling paste plus acrylic paint and some with crackle paint. White marker was Uni-ball Signo. Loved the look of the stitching - at least some of it! The wood blocks were sanded and then colored brown first to provide contrast to the background and stenciled images.<br />

I have always loved creating houses. I thought that these stencils were the perfect sizes for this project. I had recently seen a technique where you sand magazine images over the stencil to get the stenciled image. Hint: Don't sand too aggressively or it goes through the paper every time and you sand into the stencil. Sigh. Great experiment where you can try different things with color and vibrancy to get the image to show through more. I decided to not add color but just to leave it "as is". The other side of the house is full of color, as you will see. The word stencils were awesome for this project.<br />

This side of the house was done on large sheets of watercolor paper. I sprayed Clearsnap Smooch Spritz through the Pocket Stencils and got fantastic images. I love using Spritz as an alternative to acrylic sprays. I placed some of my favorite little fun things in the windows for contrast. I love anything metal and buttons are always somewhere in my art.<br />

As I created and cut the shapes for the blocks and houses, I used the extras for ATCs. As I went along, I discovered that I could use just part of one stencil on an ATC, overlay 2 parts to create a different image, or use a wet wipe to erase part of the stenciled image to create an entirely different look.<br />

I don't know what happened to my Yahoo group. I did not delete it. I got bounced out. Did not hear from Yahoo yet. I did get hacked awhile back with my Yahoo mail. I have since changed my Yahoo email password and done all the other stuff to get rid of the hacking nonsense. Near as I can tell, it might have happened around the same time period (or not). DH just had the same thing happen to him recently. I am not going to start the Yahoo group up again since I am done with the swaps and have not been very active in the group for awhile now. I am sorry that this has happened but do not know how it happened and cannot do anything do get it back right now. I will let people know if the status changes. </span><div class="blogger-post-footer">feed-links {

I wouldn't quite call it an epiphany but I was having a rare moment of introspection while doing a batch of ATCs for my Yahoo group swap. <br /><br />It has been a difficult few years for me especially this past year since I had just finished up my graduate degree this summer. I had not had much time at all for art except for a few things for companies and to teach at Create Art Retreat this summer. I hadn't written a piece for an article in quite some time because I had not had time to submit anything worth printing. Challenges were not something I could even consider. A lot of things went of the back burner and I had to prioritize my life for the sake of my sanity and lack of sleep. <br /><br />Now that I am out of school and am only teaching at my full-time job as a 5th grade teacher, it is easier for me to look ahead, do artwork for myself, and with my kids. I don't feel the pressure of having to create magazine worthy art. As I was making ATCs today, I was taking pictures of each step so I could blog about it later. I could picture in my mind what I wanted the end product to look like and I was enjoying the process. It was fun to try this and change that. I did not care that whether it was for publication or not. This was just something that I was making for a swap and it was fun. It was looking good. <br /><br />For a long time now, quite a a bit of my artwork has been create for publication or a workshop. Even though it may not have started out that way, in the back of my mind, the possibility was always there, so I didn't put the technique on my blog until I was sure it wouldn't be accepted for a publication or wouldn't be part of one of my workshops. At the same time, it is a sad reality that some artists' work have shown up on other blogs or workshops. I had it happen to me when someone tried to take credit for something that I had created.<br /><br />So, I was thinking that it's all good. It doesn't matter WHAT I am creating as long as I am creating something. It is not the end product that's important. It is the process. Yes, there are many worthy artists out there who make their living teaching workshops full-time who have to come up with the new, next best thing. They have to keep coming up with new, innovative things and/or update themselves so other artists want to take their workshops. I have to do that as well so people will want to take my workshops. I will worry about that tomorrow. I am in a position right now where I don't have to do that at this particular moment. I can just create for the sake of creating and just for myself. I don't have to answer to anyone. If you don't like it or don't get the message, I'm not so worried about it. I'm not going to worry about people who complain about my swaps. I am just going to visualize my creative process. <br /><br />I was here once but I veered to the left. I came back. Things are cyclical or maybe circular. It doesn't matter to me if I am painting, torching, knitting, assembling, or writing. It is all the same to me. It keeps me sane. Don't judge me or look at me sideways. I don't care what you are thinking anyway. If you don't want my ATC, I am sure someone else will. This art is for me. The art for everyone else will be done tomorrow and the next day. That will get done because that is how I am. Leave me a voicemail and I will return your message as soon as I available.<br /><br />Just do what makes you happy. Doesn't matter what it is.<div class="blogger-post-footer">feed-links {
