What A Relief!!

Posting this one quite early for me as I didn't get an awful lot of sleep - was worried about the baby seagull last night as he was still in our garden when I went to bed and I was afraid the foxes or badgers might eat him! Anyway woke this morning to see an empty garden which wasn't covered in feathers - thank goodness!! Looks like he made it over a couple of fences and is a bit closer to his nest now!

Back to cards, and here's one I made yesterday because I couldn't get my washing done!



The image which is Magnolia, was stamped for me by Vanessa and I coloured it with Promarkers. Papers are from Pink Petticoat and layered with my favourite mirricard! Sentiment is from Woodware and flowers and brad are from my stash. It's actually alot pinker IRL but I do love this paper.....one of my favourites I think!


Off to get the boys ready for school now - have 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 !!!!!...
