I'm on a Roll!!

A couple more Christmas cards to show you which I made yesterday. Back to the birthday cards today but only the one and my DT work for this week and then will be back to trying to complete the Christmas cards. Got a feeling I'm going to have to end up cheating and post a couple of the shop bought ones but I'll see how I go!






This image is Penny Black and was sent to me by my Secret Sister (I think!). Have been using up all my bits and pieces of Christmas paper so apologies again, as I don't know the manufacturer of this one. Image is called Snow Family (I think, again!) and has been coloured with Promarkers and added some Glamour Dust. Sentiment is from SU and layered the papers with mirricard.





This is another Penny Black image which I do actually own and I've coloured him with Promarkers and yet more Glamour Dust! Papers are My Minds Eye and sentiment is SU as is the punch used to layer it on.


Got to pop into town to do a bit of Christmas shopping and then its back to the cards!

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 !!!!!...
