Happy Birthday Lewis!

My eldest Son is 11 today whoo hoo!!!!! To be honest with you, wasn't sure if he was going to make it as I have come close to strangling him this week!!! Was he excited or what!!! Anyway, we got up early to open his presents and he's extremely happy because he got his mobile phone so he's gone off to school with a big smile on his face! I still have Sam home so we are just baking Lewis's birthday cake.
Thought I would share the cards I made for Lewis. The first one is from Sam........

......and this one is from me and Tony........


Two more stamps I've had for a while but have never inked up!! The images are High Hopes and have been coloured with Promarkers. Papers are Basic Grey, sentiment is also High Hopes. The large blue brads in the top card are from Poppicrafts and the green clip (which says "laugh" on it) is Making Memories. For the bottom card I used some giant eyelets from SU, ribbon, stickers, rub-ons and plastic tags all from my stash. Finally, added a bit of doodling around the images. Must admit was really pleased with the finished results as I was unsure what image to use for an eleven year old but got away with these as Lewis was really pleased with them!

I haven't forgotten about my blog candy - thank you so much for all the entries I've received but will have to keep you in suspense just a little while longer as Lewis will be picking the winner when he comes home from school.

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 !!!!!
