Roses are red........

The PTW challenge this week is:

"....to use red on your card! Any shade or shades of red that you like from bright pillar box to deep burgandy!! Come on everyone, let's paint the town RED!!..."

So here's my contribution using a Penny Black stamp coloured with Brushables, Pink Petticoat papers in Poppy, Dovecraft ribbon and a brad from my craftbox. The sentiment is part of a Penny Black stamp as well. The inside of the card has the other part of the sentiment in it which is "It's Your Birthday!".


Keeping a close eye on the counter now as I'm one off from 2000 and will be offering some blog candy. Watch this space!!

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 !!!!!
