Something Green

So sorry I haven't been around this week, however, have been busy with college work and personal stuff. The good news is I passed my second module last Monday and I'm working through the third module quite quickly.

The challenge on Stamp Something this week is "Green". Now this is a colour I don't use much so it was a real challenge for me!




The image is Panduro and has been coloured with Promarkers. I cut her out using a Nestability label die and stamped a Cuddly Buddly sentiment onto it. The papers are from my stash and I distressed the edges a little and sewed around the edges with my machine. Flowers are a mixture from my stash, added a Bazzill brad to each of the centres and pulled apart some heart clips I had and fixed them behind.


Sorry this is a bit rushed, however, it's Red Nose Day today and I've got to spray Lewis's hair red before he goes to school! Also, I've got Sam off ill today so will be busy giving out lots of cuddles!!


Have a great weekend!

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 !!!!!...
