Aren't I A Lucky Girl!!


Sorry I couldn't do my posting yesterday but I did try! I sat down to edit the photos to load them on and my PSP wouldn't load properly for some bizarre reason. Anyway, it's all sorted now so here we go.....got lots to show - not from me but from all you kind people out there!


I'll start with the card I made recently for yet another kids birthday party lol! Wasn't that pleased with this one as it was VERY rushed and usually, when I'm not happy with a card, I will throw it to one side and start again but I really didn't have time with this one so had to settle for this.






The image is Stampendous (just love those cheeky monkies!) and I've coloured it with Brushables, c.s. is Bazzill, DP is Doodlebug, sentiment is from High Hopes and brads and ribbon are from my stash. Crikey, that was quick!!!



Look what I won recently!



Jenny at Stamping Moments held a blog candy competition recently and I couldn't believe it when I won! It felt like Christmas opening up the package and seeing all these lovely goodies. Thanks so much Jenny! I would strongly recommend visiting Jen's blog as she is a super talented lady who does absolute wonders with SU supplies.....well worth a visit.

I'm a Member of the Tilda and Friends Forum and took part in the ATC swap this month and would like to share the gorgeous ATCs I received in return.

Next up are two RAKs I received from Jo.......

and from Vanessa......



Look at all those scrummy images!! However, I do owe an apology to Lewis, Vanessa's Son. He made a gorgeous card for my Sam, which Sam loved. However, he loved it so much, he wouldn't give it back to me to photograph and insists on keeping it in his bedroom!! so sorry there's not a photo of it here Lewis!!!

I have also been tagged recently by my SBS-13 Sister, Debi. Thanks for thinking of me Debi, however, going to cheat a bit on this one as I noticed it's one I've done quite recently so if you take a look here, you will see my answers!!
Last, but by no means least I have received an award - not once, not twice, not three or even four times but FIVE TIMES!!!! How chuffed am I!!!!




I received it from the following fabulous ladies - Ila, Vicki May, Debbie, Kes and Vanessa. I take this as a huge compliment and thank you so much. Please take a look at these ladies' blogs as their work is fantastic.


The rules of this award is that I have to pass this on to seven people which is a hard job because there are so many fantastic blogs out there but here's my choice - Jilli, Sue, Jose, Denise, Erin, Dawn and Jenny.

Phew! that was a posting and a half! Teach me not to get so far behind which reminds me, I'm so far behind with my blogging but will be getting round to you all very soon. Hope you all have a great 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 !!!!!...
