Violets are Blue!!

Back again, can you believe it, two postings in one day?!! The reason being, I've had the kids off school all week with a bug of some kind and they've gone back today so I'm trying to catch up with my cardmaking.

The PTW challenge this week is:

"....Yep, you guessed it! It's......Violets are Blue! We'd like to see Blues or Purples this week please!......."


I've used the Tilda with a Garland image which has been coloured using watercolours with a little glitter dust added to her petticoat and the centre of the flowers (doesn't show too well because the photo isn't good). Paper is Doodlebug, c.s. is Bazzill and the top piece has been run through the Big Shot with Cuttlebug circle flowers embossing folder. Sentiment is from Pink Petticoat, flower and brad are from Poppicrafts and ribbon is some which I had in my craft box.

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 !!!!!
