'New'


Good morning everybody and what a beautiful morning it is too! The sun is out and the rain has stopped at long last! but most importantly of all, the boys behaved themselves last night! I went up to check on them at 11.30 pm and to my horror, they were still awake! but they were as quiet as little mice and didn't get out of their beds, so a good night was had by all!

The challenge on Daring Cardmakers this week is:

"....I would like our cards to celebrate 'New'. So not only New Year, but maybe New Home, New Baby, New Job or maybe a card for someone who is starting a new chapter in their life...."

This was quite an easy choice for me as I love making baby cards so I found my old favourite, Penny Black. I stamped it onto white c.s. and coloured with Brushables adding a little Stickles to the daisy. This was then layered onto Pebbles Inc. gingham paper and pale blue Bazzill c.s. with a little piece of "It's A Boy" ribbon. I covered the actual card with the pale blue c.s. and Doodlebug paper and then mounted the image onto it with foam pads. Finally, some Dovecraft ribbon, a Prima flower and a spotty brad were added as a finishing touch.
Hope you all have a good Sunday!

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 !!!!!
