New Stash!

Had a great morning! Let me explain more......I ordered some Nestabilities from the States a week ago and they arrived on Saturday!






I've been dying to have a go with them and being a bit uncertain of what exactly I needed, I had a browse on Papertrey Ink and it explained what you needed for each different die cut machine, so I ordered the small rectangles (just for starters!!) and the tan mat. I also needed the white spacer plate 'cause I have a Big shot but managed to get these from Joanna Sheen

Anyway, this morning I had to take my youngest to the Dentist which just happens to be a short trip from Craft Central (Weymouth only has one craft shop and this is it!) so I popped in on the way home and bought this:




I needed a storage box for all my unmounted stamps as the box I presently have is too small and just had to buy a couple more bits and pieces! However, when I got home, I found this on the doormat!



My first Bellas!! Can't wait to use them although I think I'm gonna have to as I've got quite a few things to finish this week for challenges etc. I told myself that I'm starting a stash diet on Wednesday (same day as food diet!!) so I went a bit mad on the internet!! Still waiting for some PB stamps, Cuttlebug embossing folders, Pink Cat Studio stamps and CC Design stamps!!

My Surprise For Tony!!

As promised, I'm back to let you in on my surprise for Tony tomorrow! Don't know where to start with this but maybe a little personal history first. When I married Tony in 1996 I was a UK size 14. I've always had to watch my weight and never been naturally thin but was never vastly overweight either. In March 1997 I fell pregnant with Lewis and that's when the trouble started.....the weight piled on and after he was born as well because I wasn't eating properly and just grabbing food out of the fridge when I had a spare five minutes.....oh, the joys of being a new Mum! Then I got pregnant again with Sam and even though I didn't gain much more weight during pregnancy, I made up for it afterwards! Am I boring you yet! It took me ten years and many failed diets to finally get serious about losing weight so I started my diet in January this year and this is the evidence....... please do not show the first photo to small children or animals as it may scare them !!!!!
