San Francisco Rock 'N Roll Half Marathon

  Wow!  It's already been several weeks since I've posted anything.  Time sure flies by too quickly!

  We did our 4th half marathon in San Francisco a few weeks ago.  We got to run across the Golden Gate Bridge...it was so cool!  It think this was the best route so far.  However, those hills really kicked my butt!  There was a small incline between miles 12 and 13 where it felt like I was running in place.

  For this run, we didn't go for time and just took in the views.  We stopped several times to take lots of pictures.

  At the expo, we won a Team Geico tech shirt and visor.  If you wear the Geico gear during the race, they gave you a free 10 minute massage at the end of the race.  Of course, we HAD to do that.  It felt like the best massage ever!  I want to get a massage after every race now.

  

Monster Birthday

  My cousin's birthday is in early April, so I made him this "scary" card.  It is also made with stamps from Darcie's with my Epiphany Crafts tool.  This card is fun!

Turtle Card

  March and April are filled with birthdays of friends and family for me.  First, it was my brother's birthday so I made him a turtle card.  Turtles have significant meaning to our family because it reminds us of our grandfather.
  At the recent stamp show, I bought a couple of stamp sets from Darcie's.  They also make these cute little buttons to go with her stamp sets, but I already had an Epiphany Crafts tool with round epoxy bubble caps that I thought I could use to get a similar effect.  I am trying to minimize my spending and use the supplies I have at home.  Not as cute, but worked OK (I think).
  Also, because I had to mail this card out, I tried to minimize on the layering so I wouldn't have to pay extra for postage.

Rodan + Fields Dermatologists

  I started using this new skin care line and loved it so much that I've signed up to be a consultant.  The company is called Rodan and Fields Dermatologists.  Dr. Katie Rodan and Dr. Kathy Fields are the dermatologists who created Proactive, who have now created anti-aging skin care lines.

  Rodan + Fields also developed a handheld personal use exfoliating tool to provide professional level benefits in the comfort of your own home.  It is called the Macro Exfoliator and I LOVE mine!

  I apologize for not posting anything for a few weeks, but this new business venture has been keeping me busy.  Check it out on my website at www.larahiga.myrandf.com.
