Chit Chat and Ila's Candy




I already had this image stamped out so thought I'd better make use of it so decided to team it up with some of the papers I've been using recently.



The stamp is from Penny Black and is called Chitchat and I've coloured it with my PM's. Papers are a mixture of DCWV, Papermania and Basic Grey (I think) and flowers and brads are from my stash. Sentiment is from Craftwork Cards. Finally, used my SU punch to round the corners.

Would like to mention that the very talented Ila has some absolutely gorgeous blog candy up for grabs to celebrate her number of hits. Ila makes absolutely stunning cards so pop on over and take a look.

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 !!!!!...
