Topic: RE: 6x6 question
Trish,
Usually you just cut a 12x12 cardstock in quaters and use that as your background base. Don't tear out pages of your scrapbook. All scrapbook pages and cardstock are not created equaly-even though they say 12x12, but its a good rough estimate to do it in quaters!
Good luck email me if you have any other questions!!! xoxoxjenn

Topic: Disneyland!!
Hey, everyone!! I got back the other day from Disneyland and had a great time. Disneyland is very obese-friendly and their rides are designed for the biggest of people to the littlest of kids. I avoided that place because I thought I'd be too big to go on the rides, and I discovered that even at my highest weight (376) I could've gone on the rides. Disneyland really IS the happiest place on earth!
I took SOOOO many pictures!! I was there 3 days and took over 100 photos on my digital camera! I can't wait to print them all out - and start my CA trip scrabook. Also went to Newport Beach, Huntington Beach, Dana Point, Balboa Island and more. Had a great time!!
The airplane seatbelt even fit me without an extender. I was like WOW!! I felt so skinny! LOL (I still have over 100 lbs to lose still!) CA was great! Can't wait to scrapbook it all!

Topic: RE: WLS projects?
I am still in the collecting stage for my WLS scrapbook. LOL Need to get started on it. I'm over 3 months out and 77 lbs down and time is getting away from me!!
Save EVERYTHING from the hospital, even the little menus they bring with your "meals", hospital wrist band, acceptance letter from insurance company, labels of protein mixes, etc. It's better to have too much embelishments than not enough!! So good idea to start now!
And take a BEFORE photo of you a day or two before surgery - face shot, medium shot and ful-body shot, even side views and back views!! And also take measurements. I totally forgot about measurements until 5 days after my surgery!! So take them pre-op!! Measure everything - head, face (ear-to-ear), below *****ear-to-ear), shoulder-to-shoulder, neck, bust, waist, upper arms, forearms, wrists, fists, hips, upper thighs, knees, calves, ankles and feet. And whatever else you want to measure! Journal your loss of weight and inches and take pictures MONTHLY!! You'll see a difference in photos that you won't see in the mirror at first.
Eye photos are good. My eyes are less "swollen" than before surgery and look BIGGER. Less bloat. LOL You'll see a difference even in your eyes!

Topic: RE: JUST LIKE CHRISTMAS!!
There were 6 of us but only 4 sent cards in plus you add mine and that's five. So I sent everyone their original card back since one person didn't come through in the end.
Sorry - I meant to post that and let you all know BEFORE I mailed them, but it was a hectic week getting ready for my trip. Sorry!! But I mailed everything I received!! Honest!
Hugs,
Trisha
