Soggy Sunday!!

Well, we survived the high winds and rain yesterday. Today started off well....sunshine and no winds....however, it's now started raining again!! Guess the Summer is over! Tony has popped up his Mum's with the boys so thought I would make the most of the time and post this card which I made yesterday morning. Must apologise for the poor picture, however, it is so dark here at the moment, found it difficult to find enough light to take the photo.




The image is H & S and was a RAK and I've coloured her with Promarkers. Did a bit of paper pricking around the edges before mounting her onto blue card. The plain and patterned card are both Pink Petticoat. The sentiment is a digital download and again, has been mounted onto the same blue card. Finally I added a little embellishment I made myself. Not sure what you call it but got the idea from Jose who gave me the pins and some of the beads - the blue beads are from Craft Central. Oops, nearly forgot, sticky gems are from Papermania!


Really hope to get back to blogging properly, however, got to catch up on my college work first. Thanks for stopping by.

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 !!!!!...
