Stamp Something "For a Friend"

That's the challenge on Stamp Something this week and how very appropriate for me. I didn't realise until recently how many caring friends I do have both in the flesh and in blogland and I've also re-discovered my best friend! So this card is for all of my pals out there and is sent with a big hug and MWAH!!!!!


The image is Magnolia and was a RAK from Vanessa and I have coloured her with Promarkers (Tilda, not Vanessa!!). DP is Basic Grey and frame around Tilda has been made with mirricard and Bazzill c.s. using one of my oval Nestabilities. Added some doodling around the edges, flowers from my stash, a Papermania brad and Papermania sticky gems. Sentiment is from Autumn Leaves.

You must pop over and take a look at all the wonderful creations the other girls on the DT have come up with, plus if you have a go yourself, there's a chance of winning some fantastic blog candy!

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 !!!!!...
