Is Anybody There?!!!!


I'm not sure if I'm talking to myself at the moment (takes me back to when I first started my blog!) as I've been such a naughty girl and haven't posted anything for months. However, work, college and personal issues have all been foremost in my life and crafting had to take a back seat. Trouble was, the longer I left it, the harder I found it to create. So, I have now given myself a huge kick up the backside and have sworn that I will NEVER buy another card again!! Can you believe, I was actually going into a card shop and buying the damn things!!!

The card I am showing is one I actually made in October! I found the photo on my camera, so rather than delete it, I thought I would upload it. I have also finally got back to crafting and managed to get stuck into six cards today. Will add them to my blog once I've managed to get a decent photograph of them which hopefully, fingers crossed, should be tomorrow. Had my eldest boy off school today which meant I couldn't work so thought I would take advantage of the free time and I'm so glad I did - I feel so much better for it.

Anyway, if there is anyone reading this, please leave a comment so I know you're there! Hope to get back to visiting all those gorgeous blogs at the weekend.

Hi Jo, its great to see you back! I've not posted much to my blog lately either. Am due to have my baby at the end of this month and with the cold weather its just been too cold to go and sit in my craft room. I almost considered going and buying some cards the other day but held back and have set myself a task to make some today. I've got about 5 birthday's and valentines day to make for and I want to make a Big Brother card for my little boy too, so hence why I'm taking the time to catch up on some blogs today and get inspired!!! Hope to see your new cards soon. I've missed reading your blog! Zoe xxx

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 !!!!!...
