stuff, and stuff. what's going on in Leah's life?

okay, so things are NUTSO here, but most of it is GOOD stuff! i'm getting promoted, my marriage seems to be improving (in many ways, thank goomie!), the weather is cooling off, i'm healthier and more FIT than i've probably EVER been (having lost a total of 23 pounds so far!), my hubbin leased himself an art studio and gets to move HIS crafties into a designated space soon (which means there's more space freed up for mine!), and we are in the early stages of REALLY house hunting. it's something we've wanted for a long time, but he's a real foot-dragger, and i think he's finally getting the bug. making some appointments this week to see what we can see, and my fingers are crossed because there are a couple of REALLY nice houses that interest me and are totally within our price range. LET'S GO SHOPPING! ;)

so, with all of that going on, summer coming to a close and hubbin being back to work (he's a teacher), we've been busy literally every night, and i have totally slacked on updating my PERSONAL blog (but at least i'm on top of my DT assignments!).

i'm throwing it out there today to let you know the following things...

1 - new Charisma challenge! we're "Seeing Double" this week, and you have until Wednesday night to play along. need inspiration? wondering what the whole double thing can entail? well CLICK HERE to see what the Charisma Galz have done, 'cuz there are load of great examples! here's what i made for the occasion:

3 - we're releasing new CLEAR STAMPS tomorrow at SomeOddGirl.com! you've probably seen sneaks of them, if you were following along with the CHA updates in July. they're freaking fabulous, and you're going to want to go to the Some Odd Girl blog tomorrow at 9 am (EST) to see the first of the reveals! oh. my. goomie.
