Time For the Bubbly!

Big apologies (yet again!) for not being around, however, have not been feeling too good. I managed to get to the Dentist and there was nothing wrong with the tooth itself, however, I had an abscess in my gum and sinus so was put on tablets and it's taken forever to go......still not completely disappeared now, so I haven't felt much like doing anything and couldn't even participate in the DT work for Stamp Something this week so more big apologies to Denise, Erin and the rest of the girls.

I do have a couple of cards to show today - it was a case of having to make these for my friends' birthdays so they are basically the same with just slight differences!


The photos aren't brilliant because it was so dark here yesterday and the glitter on the bubbles and the 'enamel' look on the bath tub from the Glossy Accents aren't showing up. If anyone can give me any tips on tying neat bows and knots, please let me know as I was beginning to get a bit frustrated with the ribbon yesterday!!!! I've got loads of catching up to do with blogging and e-mails etc and have also noticed it will soon be my blogoversary so will organise some candy for that very soon.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.

Hi Jo! Sorry to hear that tooth is still giving you pain, hope it clears up soon. No worries about Stamp Something either, we missed you, but there's always next week! Take care of yourself first. :)

Love these cards, they are beautiful. The images are great and perfectly colored. Wish I could be in the bubble bath right about now. Great eyelets and ribbon accents too. :)

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 !!!!!...
