I've Got Something To Show!!!

Well, at long last I've finally got something to show and this is down to the help my friend Jose has given me.....she volunteered to edit my photos for me until I get the appropriate software loaded onto Lewis's PC. Thank you so much Jose....you really are a great friend....and not forgetting John too (her husband!) whose computer knowledge has been invaluable and his patience with me has been amazing!!!!

I know I missed the deadline for this challenge but am slowly working my way through them so I can catch up - the theme before last on Tilda & Friends ATC Challenge blog was May Celebrations and here is my little creation.

This Tilda image was sent to me by Annie and I've coloured her with Prismas and Sansodor, paper is a scrap piece of Blonde Moments Sugar Dumpling and flowers are a variety from my stash with Papermania sticky gems added to the centres. Wording is Doodlebug rub-ons.

It's been a hectic week for me with loads still to do for Sam's party on Saturday. His birthday is tomorrow and I have just had a friend here painting a big Mr Man on his bedroom wall. Just got to hide it now with a poster!! Then tomorrow while he is at school, I'm doing a "60 minute makeover" on his room as he's always wanted a Mr Men bedroom......wish me luck!! Just can't wait to see his little face when he gets home from school tomorrow and sees it!!

Off to put all his bits and pieces back in his bedroom.

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 !!!!!

ONLY JOKING
