Spreadin' the Cosmo Cricket Love

Good morning everyone! Are you feeling LUCKY?

We decided that it wasn't fair for just one person to win a Chemistry set because honestly, evey girl should have one! And so, we have picked not one......... not two........ but FIVE lucky winners!!!

But, before we get to that, check out what Cherri House did with our Hey Sugar fabric. Cherri is a quilt designer for Andover. It's kind of funny because after Eric and I had decided to license our artwork through them, Cherri, Eric's cousin, contacted us and said she'd be making our quilt for their trade show. Then, Cherri's daughter, Lizzy, also began designing fabric for them. So, it's kind of like a little family reunion at every textile show. You could say only in Utah.... as the joke goes, but Cherri and Lizzy don't live in Utah and Andover is based out of New York. And, before Andover, I had never met either of them. I guess it's just a small world!

Cherri's quilt she is calling Sugar Snap.

Lizzy's fabric line called Lizzy Dish.

And now, for todays winners, in random order, and everything. Send us your address and we'll send you your prize.
1. Kristina 11:39.
2. Gail C 12:09.
3. Charmaine 5:58.
4. Tonya 11:30.
5. Jody 7:14.

Congratulations. And, for those that are new to our blog you're in for another treat. Today is Wednesday. Loyal followers know that this means Weigh in Wednesday (yes, I stole that from Donna). Anyway, no pounds lost, no pounds gained. Tell us how you did, or leave us some encouragement and you could be our next prize winner.

Thanks for stopping by and check back tomorrow to see if you won!

Becca said...

Love, love, love the quilt!!!! I lost 3 pounds!!!! Whoopie! Now, we'll just see how the weekend goes...I have a nephew's b-day party...will I be able to resist the cake and ice cream?

Tracey said...

I wish I could report that I have lost a few pounds but no such luck. I think I need to try a little harder though.

Love that quilt by the way! What an awesome use for the fabric line.

scandi said...

I gained a pound but had a fun weekend so it was worth it! Keep on keepin on ladies!

Brooke S. Rochon said...

I'd like to say I've lost weight but I guess being 7 months pregnant that would not be appropriate. But, on the upside, somehow I've only managed to gain 10 pounds so far and I eat everything in site. Yeah for pregnancy hormones! Good luck to you, I know what a struggle it is to lose and/or maintain weight.

Beverley Todd said...

Oh my! Loving that quilt - I could use it to cover the stray pounds that have made their way back on!
Congrats to everyone who maintained/lost - I put on 1lb ... but I just started some meds that are making me eat like a HORSE - guess I'll have to try harder!

I've neither lost nor gained this week... so as I ate way too much at the weekend I'm really happy about that!

I adore the fabric. Some of my boys are going to have reproduce soon so I can do some nurseries. Can do you just see using the fabric and matching papers for the decor!

Bunny B said...

Ooo.. lovely quilt!
Better to maintain the weight than gain, right? :)

Bumbles and Fairy-Tales said...

Beautiful quilt!
Congrats to all of the Happy Winners :)

wendy said...

The quilt is beautiful! So much talent!

I'm staying away from the scale! It's not my friend.

ScrapAddict21 said...

Another pound gone. Still more to go!

Colleen said...

I have gained a couple of pounds. Not good. I did just find this website
www.sparkpeople.com It is totally free and is designed to help you lose weight. I am thinking that this might be the help I need. Check it out.

kristina proffitt said...

Yay! I won! I'm so excited! Thank you SO much, Julie! I sent an e-mail! I could only find one for lindsey so I sent it there - hope that was ok. :)

LOVE that beautiful quilt and fabric! So pretty! I've lost 5 pounds in the last couple of months so I'm happy. Still about 15more to go! :)

I am in love with the quilt and excited that I can share with everyone that I have lost 12lbs. finally!!! It's a work in progress but I take it one day at a time and pray for the best.

Thanks for letting me share :)

em's scrapbag said...

So were you able to help mom with her post? Thanks for stopping by my blog. I've been seeing more and more of your fabric in quilt shops. They love it! Love your new line. Good luck at market.

Erin Glee said...

Congrats to the lucky winners!

Darn~ I gained (son's Birthday 2 weekends ago, but still celebrating with other relatives last weekend with yet ANOTHER cake). My "Will Power" turns to jello when faced with Chocolate Decadence Cake. What is your secret, Julie?

Congrats to all that lost or maintained~hooray!

Kimmie said...

i lost a big whopping 2, finally

Congrats everyone! keep up the good work!

Abby said...

I actually made it in to the gym today!! and Early!!! But alas, it's birthday weekend and the beginning of Halloween festivities for me. more pounds for me...

Jenn said...

WOW, that quilt is beautiful!

I am new to the blog, but a group diet plan sounds nice. I'm getting back into my wii fit routine! hehe

I stepped back on yesterday for the first time in a long time, and I have gained 2 lbs, YIKES! I'm hoping to get them off quickly! Maybe posting my progress here will help! :)

Rebecca Keppel said...

ok I have gained a pound or two, but I am trying to get back on track. I am definitely going to the gym tonight and I am REALLY trying to stay away from the Halloween candy that is accumulating around here!

Shell said...

stayed the same but I am happy with that - how could I not be

- it is my 25th wedding anniversary today - woo hoo SILVER - cannot believe that many years have gone past

I am so not sticking to my diet tonight at dinner - but back on the wagon tomorrow :-D

ScrapAddict said...

Awesome quilt and fabrics. Good luck on losing. It's just soooo hard!!

Amber said...

What a gorgeous quilt! I'm not dieting but I did drink less soda over the weekend ;) I admire your dedication to losing weight! I need to but just haven't found the motivation yet.

Alex S. said...

Beautiful quilt!! And...congrats to all the winners!!
The scale doesn't like me...so I am staying away!

Holly Denghel said...

What a beautiful quilt!! Wow. Thanks for sharing.

Hey, you may not have lost, but not gaining either is still good!!

Julie said...

Shell,

Congrats on 25 years! That's awesome!!

Kristin said...

I just found your blog because I love your scrapbooking supplies, but now you have gotten me thinking about quilting!

I probably gained about 5 lbs in scrapbooking supplies this week, but fortunately managed to lose one pound in body weight.

Gina said...

WTG!!! I think I may have a lost a wee bit...jeans are feeling slightly looser...

Lindsay said...

That quilt is so yummy! I lost 5 pounds in the last month!!!! Thanks to stressing out for my sister's wedding - LOL!

Dawn said...

1 lost!! This is great because it was during my brothers chemo treatment which lasts for 5 days an hour 1/2 away. The last one I ate the whole 5 days so this is much better!! Love the quilt. Dawn H

Mel said...

Good Luck--keep up the good work!

Aimee Ann said...

ahhh, love the quilt. i've been sick this week so its hard to get to the gym when you're coughing... bleh.

So Many Scraps said...

I love the quilt! I have lost 2 lbs spending time at the hospital with my mom!

Davinie Fiero said...

I should be participating in the Wednesday challenge, but i am not. i am here to encourage and am crossing my fingers for some FABRIC! You promised me some Fabric! Hey Sugar, meet DAVINIE! :)

Cheryl said...

Love the quilt, may have to pick up another craft!

Greta said...

Keep up the great work! Love the quilt and the new fabrics! Gotta have 'em

Anthea said...

well done to the winners, that line was awesome, and that quilt is gorgeous too.

1 kiloe down for me this week, would like to have gotten out more, but it has been raining and I got stuck into my study, well hopefully soon when it eases up a bit...

Katie said...

Love the quilt!! It looks so cozy! And....I love the new fabric line by Lizzie. :) I stayed the same this week... works for me! :)

Dawne Carlisle said...

I am here to encourage! Nothing lost - but nothing gained is a win! Be proud!

Stick with it and you will make your goals. I lost 15 lbs last year on WW so I know how difficult it can be. Drink your water and don't skimp on the fruits & veggies! You can do it!

Andrea said...

I may just have to join you...I could stand to loose a good 5 or 15pounds! LOL

Keep it up everyone, this time of year is difficult but I know you can do it!!!

Altered Route said...

Those colors are sweet and the quilt is beautiful! I've lost 3 lbs since Sept 15th when I stopped having ANYTHING after 8:00 in the evening...not so hard to do and well worth it!!

Jennifer Holmes said...

I gained a pesky little half pound, but I should be happy, considering all the great things I ate last week...lol. Okay, back to getting serious! I'm struggling with all the Halloween candy that's flooded the office already!

cbk said...

Beautiful quilt. Love Lizzy's fabric line too. No loss, too many parties...must step away from the birthday cake! Hoping for a better weigh in next week.

Anonymous said...

Well it depends on which part of the day I weigh myself. Haha. Weight is ambiguous anyway. =) Just when I thought I've lost 2 pounds at night...i find out I've gained a pound in the morning!

Erika M. said...

My school is hosting a Biggest Loser contest - the participants donated $20 and whoever loses the most wins the pot. Well, I've been up and down and I a m down 1/2 a pound.

Nicole K/GothamGal said...

Wonderful job everyone, keep up the good work. I got a Wii fit for my birthday and am happy to say that I'm two pounds lighter. Yay!

Shawninaz said...

No pounds lost or gained. Trying to stay away from that Halloween candy, lol! Good luck everyone.

Angie said...

I lost 1/2 a pound this week. If I hadn't shamelessly pigged out over the weekend I probably would have lost more. ho-hum.

Snouters said...

I woke up on New Year's morning and it suddenly dawned on me that I had gained 15 pounds over the course of 2007. I was determined to lose it and, along with a buddy from work, joined WW. I lost the weight in 3 months and have maintained it since then! I don't think I've ever been so proud of myself :) All you ladies can do it; the hardest part is getting to that point where you decide you want to do something about it. The rest is easy. xoK

Tona said...

Beautiful quilt! I haven't stepped on a scale in a few weeks...now I'm afraid to. I'd be happy with a no gain.

Rachel Greig said...

Your fabric is just gorgeous!

I went to a trade show last week, ate out, too many desserts, you know, cheesecake, chocolate mud cake, sticky date pudding, you name it. What was I thinking??? But I enjoyed every last morsel, and now I'm (not so) enjoying the extra kilo (2 pounds!) on the ol' thighs!! :)

But hey, today is another day!

And your fabric is gorgeous.

RobinDiane said...

The quilt is beautiful and I love those fabrics. I need to get on a plan to lose weight and exercise. You are inspiring to do something. Thanks!!!

Sharon Larmour said...

I wish had more motivation to lose weight, it just all seems too hard. I'm so thrilled for you that you can see the changes in your body and the numbers the scales tell you. All that hard work will have been worth it. Keep up the fabulous effort.

Lulu said...

I am so upset to say I gained 2lbs. It's totally been emotional eating. I've recently found out I'm lactose intolerant, and pretty sure I have really really bad IBS.. *pout*

Scrapping4fun said...

Lovely quilt. Good luck on losing the pounds - I really must start my diet - one day!!!

ScrapMomOf2 said...

Uhm, I'll just comment on the GORGEOUS quilt! WOW! That's truly beautiful! I wish I knew how to do that! Congratulations to the winners! I just love the name of the new paper line! So fun!

leila Jezequel said...

I am staying away from my scale too!And sure i have gained a pound yesterday.It was my daughter's birthday with two big cakes!!
I am dreaming of you gorgeous fabrics!No way to find them here in france!!

Mandie said...

Love the fabric! Beautiful quilt!

So I've lost 1 lb. I am currently at a loss of 29. Yay!!!!

Jewel said...

I am jumping in a little late on this post but just had to comment on the quilt - it is sooooo adorable. Looking at the adorable fabric and the quilt makes me wish I knew how to quilt. Unfortunately, I didn't lose any weight this week but didn't gain any either.

Mel Place said...

i hate to admitt this but i lose weight doing summer and only gain a pound doing winter time i guess from scrapping and not eating a bad habit i know but now i try to atleast take a break and eat lunch or a snack
