Something To Show (at long last!) and More Candy!

At last......I've actually made a card....in fact I made two today but one of them I can't show until Friday so you'll have to settle for this one instead!!!







I recently got some Letraset Promarkers after reading all about them on Fran's blog and spent last night colouring - took me back to my childhood.....I absolutely adore colouring in. Anyway, I was very impressed with them and although I haven't mastered the shading yet, was very pleased with the effect they give. You can't really see it in the photo but it almost looks as if the coloured image has been printed. I have started using up some of the piles of images you kind ladies have been sending me and this Skipping Tilda was from Vanessa. Coloured with Promarkers with some Glamour Dust added to her wings and stamped a Woodware sentiment alongside her. Cardstock is all Bazzill, as are the brads and DP is from All My Memories. Ribbon and flowers are from my stash.



Talking of Fran, she has got some fabulous candy up for grabs on her blog but not one lot......two!!! Go over and try your luck and take a look at her fantastic work......she really is an inspiration and extremely talented.

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 !!!!!...
