Samm's Birthday Candy

Samm, http://samm-l.blogspot.com/ is running a blog candy competition to celebrate her birthday on the 20th so thought I would have a go and have finally got .round to completing the card.

I've fallen in love with this paper and card. It's a pity the photo is so poor because the brown card is a real chocolatey colour and both that and the pink c.s. have a shimmer to it. These are all Bazzill c.s. and the paper is Doodlebug. Stamp is from Penny Black coloured with Brushables and the sentiment is from Woodware. The brown c.s. has been embossed with the Cuttlebug hearts embossing folder and some spotty brown ribbon from my craft box was used. Just in case you can't read the sentiment cause it's partly hidden by the ribbon, it says "Just for you".

Talking of Blog Candy......I've now passed the 2000 mark so will be back tomorrow with a little challenge for you all and a picture of the candy!

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 !!!!!

ONLY JOKING
