Rehab sucks

I feel like all I do is detox from soda and white cardstock.

This weekend I fell off the wagon again.  But it wasn't my fault (just like an addict to shirk responsibility.) We were driving around looking at neighborhoods and I felt sick to my stomach, car sickness probably. I sent dh to get the doctor (Dr. Pepper). My arch nemesis because the sugar and bubbly is so amazingly irresistible. But it was for medicinal purposes right? (Is anyone buying this?) Does that even count?
As for the white cardstock, I already have the shakes. Case in point:
You and Me Layout
Supplies: Cosmo Cricket Everafter patterned paper: Something old, Something true ; Cosmo Cricket Everafter Elements and Border strips; plus Black bazzil cardstock, American crafts patchwork thickers, Sassafrass lass flower and Jenni Bowlin Pearl flowers.
Instructions: Cut large piece of yellow paper into a rectangle, cut smaller piece of blue paper into a smaller rectangle. Cut apart Elements, and Border paper. Layer as shown. Journaling via computer. I used a light to know where to position my journaling card so that the journaling was on the lines. Adhere embellishments last.
It sure is a Monday. I'm already jonesing for both. But the sun is shining. Hope you have a great one! Until tomorrow.

Beautiful layout! It's very elegant looking.

As for the addiction...you gotta do, what you gotta do. I think you did the right thing, after all you went for the doctor.

Girl that black cardstock is just rockin' on that layout, as far as soda goes... well I am in the same boat, I throw you a life ring next time you float by.

Don't worry about the white cardstock. It won't hurt anything. Besides, everything is supposed to be good in moderation ;)
