Sorry!

Sorry I haven't been around for a while but I've been suffering! Suffering from lack of mojo. Don't know if it's because the boys are off this week and just haven't got the time but that doesn't usually stop me. Just can't seem to get myself going in the creative way this week. I sat down last night with a stamped image and thought "come on Jo, just do a bit of colouring". So I got my Prismas out and put them away again after 15 minutes because I started sharpening the ones I wanted to use and one of them kept breaking off which was making me very angry!! Does anyone else have that problem with them......that's the second one now. I get very uptight about it because they're meant to be high quality and they're not cheap!!

Anyway, enough of the moaning! Something really nice has happened to me.....I got the Excellence Award again from Fran! I love visiting her blog 'cause her work is fantastic and I really enjoy speaking to her because she really does make me laugh and makes me spend too much money!!! In fact, I've just ordered quite a bit of paper which I blame totally on her LOL!!!

Well, I have got something to show today which I made a couple of weeks ago. I used it to send some Magnolia images to my blogging buddy Denise but she's now received them so I can post a photo of it.






The design of the book is by Claudia of Pretty Pressings and her instructions were so good that once I had chosen the papers, it only took me a very short time to make.

Must get a move on with the kids' breakfast as they've got a friend coming over today and I said I would take them all out! Hope you all have a good day wherever you are :)

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 !!!!!...
