This Week's Stamp Something Challenge

In a real rush today, so much so, nearly forgot to submit my entry for the Stamp Something challenge! Me and Tony are taking the boys bowling this afternoon so will make this as short as possible.

The challenge this week on Stamp Something is Thanksgiving or Giving Thanks (for those of us who don't celebrate Thanksgiving!).

Tilda is Magnolia of course and the sofa is from Alota, both have been coloured with Promarkers. Cardstock was from my stash and paper I think is Basic Grey....I'm not sure about that one as I took it out of the pad a while ago and I haven't got time to check! Sentiment is Stampin Up and flower is a Flora Doodle from Joanna Sheen.

Big apologies for the rush!!!

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 !!!!!...

ONLY JOKING
