Sisterhood of the Blogging Stampers

Sisterhood of the Blogging Stampers - 13

Well I've bitten the bullet and decided to join an SBS group. I've been thinking about it for a while now so I'm now one of the "Sisters"!!

We have to write a short getting to know you post so here goes!

My name is Jo King (yes, it really is!!), I'm 44 years old and proud of it :) and married to Tony with two beautiful boys, Lewis (10) and Sam (5). Tony at present, works in Australia and has been there just over a year but all being well, will be returning to the UK sometime this year......don't worry you will all know about it as soon as I know the date!!! I live in Weymouth, a small town on the south coast of England and am lucky enough to be a SAHM.

I started cardmaking about four or five years ago but when I look back at what I made, it makes me cringe!! I love stamping and shopping for stash (not necessarily in that order!) and I also enjoy scrapbooking and altering items. I love blog hopping and find all the blogs out there totally inspirational.......there are so many talented people about.

I won't bore you any more(!) and look forward to meeting all the Sisters!

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 !!!!!...
