I've Reached The End!!!

Lovely sunny day here in Dorset today.....still extremely windy but no rain, thank goodness. Cannot shift this stinking cold I've caught and finding it difficult to motivate myself as I feel so tired and just to top it all, got a call from Lewis's school to say he was unwell so he was home today......we came home and both had a nap! He feels alot better for it but I could have done with another ten hours!!!!

My new camera arrived yesterday.....whoo hoo!!! just got to work out how to use it now! Actually have had a go and managed to work out how to take a photo and upload it but the instruction book is pretty thick (just like me!) and is going to take me ages to work through. Anyway, the main thing is I've managed to photograph the work I did yesterday and the news is.........I'm PIF free!!!! I managed to do seven folders yesterday plus all the bits and have posted them all this afternoon. So to the ladies concerned.....thank you for being patient and they are now on their way to you. Thought I'd post the pictures of them as the girlies have no idea which one they're getting....come to think of it, neither have I!!!









I've used various stamps from Magnolia, Whipper Snapper, Sugar Nellie and Penny Black and these have been coloured mostly with Prismas and Sansodor and some Brushables. I've used a variety of double-sided c.s. from Papermania and plain/bling c.s. from Bazzill. Images have been mounted using either Woodware punches and/or Nestabilities. Ribbon is from my stash. Original folder design from Katharina.

Off for a black coffee now to keep me awake and give me some energy as it's Tae Kwon-do night tonight.

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 !!!!!
