Here are two toilet paper covers that I made for my Aunt. You know the ones that your grandma had in her bathroom...with dolls on top of the toilet paper. Well, I make those too, but these were just something different that I thought I would try. I didn't follow a pattern, so I am sorry I can't share it...but they did turn out kind of cute, didn't they?

These are two of my own inventions. They are toilet paper cakes. They make an excellent gift for a new home, a wedding gift with a little funny twist. I have made several of these for people to give as gifts, and everyone always enjoys them.
They are so easy to make and you can do so much with them. These were made with a Christmas theme, but there are so may other themes you can use.

Just got to add a little message about my surgery. I went to the doctors for my 12 week check up. I was told that I was doing well and up to par. At that time, I had lost 62 pds. I did ask the doctor if I shouldn't be losing faster. She said that I was eating too much. Instead of a cup of food three times a day, with a little snack at night of diet pudding, I should only be eating 1/2 cup of food. Well, actually as I thought about it, I was eating 1/2 cup at breakfast and 1 cup for lunch and supper. Anyway, I must say that made me pretty discouraged for a couple days. I did try to be better, but I have not cut down to 1/2 cup at this point. She (the doctor ) said that I should only be eating enough to sustain me. Anyway, after I went to the doctor, I got on the scale the next day and had lost two more pds. Now I am down 73 pds, and it has been 14 weeks. I feel that I am doing pretty well. I do have to be careful, as I have a tendency to eat a little too fast. I am really trying hard to slow down, as it does cause some pain when I eat too fast. I have picked up a little excercising. I walk on the treadmill three times a week for about 4 minutes, and 3 or 4 minutes on the ab machine.
well, enough about me. I hope everyone is having a splendid summer. I sure am enjoying it.

Here are towel elephants that I made. They make wonderful gifts. Who said that towels and washclothes are only good for bathing?

Just more stuff I made.

Here are two roomboxes that I made with printables. Don't they just make you want to remodel your home. Since I rent, this is my way to interior decorate. I guess I better keep my day job, but it sure was fun to make these. The little girl sitting on the bed was a little figurine that was given to me for Christmas one year. She just fit so good in the little room. I have more pictures of these rooms, that show more detail. Unfortunately, I do not have the rooms anymore.

Wow, I didn't realize it had been so long since I had posted about my gastric bypass. I am down 70 pds now. Yay!!!! I am doing well. I have realized, that I have more energy and want to do more things. That makes me excited. It has been almost 11 weeks now. I had a little popcorn yesterday at the movies, and my tummy feels a little scratchy today. Plus today, I will probably not lose anymore weight. It still is a struggle to lose weight, just seems to come off a little quicker.

Two diaper cakes I have made. These are such nice gifts for a shower. Everyone always raves about them. They are fun to make too.
