Party Bags!

As I explained in a previous post, I'm slowly catching up with my crafting and postings so thought that as it is the day of Sam's party, would show you the little treat bags I made for the kids. The design of these came from Claudia's blog candy competition, however, I wasn't able to enter it at the time because of my computer dying on me but when I saw her tutorial, knew these would be ideal to take to the party!!



I've used the same Daisy Bucket double sided paper I used for the invitations with the cheeky Changito stamp (coloured with Brushables), Nestabilities, Bazzill c.s., Doodlebug ribbon and MFT sentiment.

Sam had a fantastic day yesterday and was so pleased with his room! so thought I would share a couple of photos with you. The first is of him in his "refurbished" bedroom!





and this is a close up of Mr Nonsense! My friend Lee drew this and then painted it straight on the wall - something I could never do - then I just had to outline it yesterday. Isn't she talented!! We hid this with a poster on Thursday evening and Sam never guessed what was hidden underneath....oh the joys of being a child!!





Finally, this is Sam blowing out his candles on his cake. It was his request that I made a cake with strawberry jam in (his favourite!), however, he's got another cake to take to his party today which looks a bit more exciting than this one!!




Off to start getting organised for our trip to Monkey World! The weather forecast is good so am hoping for a good day!

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 !!!!!...
