Meeting Vanessa and Sam's Birthday Part III

What fantastic weather we're having at the moment...it's been so hot today!! Had a lovely day today, met up with Vanessa of Nessy's Notes for the first time at Craft Central for a bit of shopping and I was an extremely good girl.....didn't spend much at all, although couldn't say the same for Vanessa!! Anyway, here's a pic of us outside the shop before we parted. (I'm the one on the right!)



Thanks Vanessa and Marion for an enjoyable day...it was lovely actually getting to meet you and hope you managed to get the chocolate brownie off your teeth!!


Back to Sam's birthday and thought I would post the card I made for Lewis (his big brother) to give to him. Lewis actually made his own card (which I will hopefully post tomorrow as I haven't yet photographed it) but insisted I make one as well.


All the images are from Pink Cat Studio and were kindly sent to me by Dawn. I coloured them with Brushables and put some doodling 'round Billy. Paper is from Daisy Bucket (still keeping with the birthday theme!) and c.s. is Bazzill. Talking of Dawn, I made a big booboo yesterday when I loaded the pirate card on my blog. I did stress the fact that this card was her design, however, when I looked at it later, I noticed that I had put my watermark on it, so big apologies Dawn - it's not my design and all credit goes to Dawn!

Off to sit in the sunshine for a little while before bathing the kids.....got to make the most of it as the forecast isn't so good for the end of the week.

Your photo looks more mean and moody, both of you with your shades one. Vanessa's photo's more smiley not to mention that must have been one big kerb she was standing on, LOL. Fab card & I've been making most of the weather too, it's been so sunny.

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 !!!!!
