All About Katy


Sorry, but this is going to be a very quick posting mainly because of the boys and their out of school commitments, so thought you might like to see the photos of a book I made my Niece, Katy, for her 30th birthday. The book came with it's own box, however, had to paint the whole lot before I could get started. You will see, if you look closely, that the lid of the box has a piece of acetate attached to it. This was used as a pocket to put the birthday card. Hope you like?

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 !!!!!...
