Whose A Lucky Girl!!!


Sorry I haven't been around much lately....had so much to do and miles behind with my challenges. Anyway, managed to make a couple of cards today but the light is too bad to photograph them tonight so will post them tomorrow.


In the meantime, I wanted to share a lovely package I received a few days ago from my good friend Denise. First of all I got this gorgeous card......





....and there was also this fabulous folder.......




Wow, lots of images for me to play with. Plus, there was a set of SU stamps!!...sorry there's no photo but I rushed them upstairs to my craft desk to mount them ready to play with them and forgot to take a picture!!! How generous is that!!! Thank you so much Denise....I really do appreciate it and even though I've never met you, you've become a really good friend of mine over the past couple of months and I love exchanging news and views with you. Besides that, you're so talented and really inspire me with your work.

Will be back tomorrow with some cards of my own....I promise!

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 !!!!!...
