Debbie's Blog Candy and a Sketch from Katharina

Another sunny day in Weymouth again today even though it did rain during the night. However, not so sunny inside the house(!)....plumbing is still not fixed as the ordered part didn't turn up - just wondering how long this is going to go on for as the Plumber goes on holiday in a couple of weeks!!


Anyway, back to the crafting......this card is one I made after seeing a sketch which Katharina put on her blog (it's not the PTW one....still working on that!) and when I'd finished it, thought it would be ideal for Debbie's birthday blog candy. Debbie's challenge is to make a girly card with ribbon on it and this is Katharina's sketch.....





Always have to think a bit if there's more than two layers! but ended up with this.....



I've used my new Penny Black stamp which arrived last week and coloured the hedgehog with Brushables, adding some Glamour Dust to the flowers. The sentiment is from the Just Hatched set at Papertrey Ink and the tiny hearts are from Papermania. Paper and ribbon is from Blonde Moments, c.s. is Bazzill and mirricard is from my stash. Slots were made using an SU punch.


Will be in and out all day today so hope to get some crafting time in later this evening. Hope the sun is shining where you are!

jo this is stunning.....I find it really difficult with all the layers, people seem do do the challenges so quick, and yet it can take me a week to think about it !!

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 !!!!!...
