Weigh in Today - and last weeks!!

Well I was naughty last week and never blogged my weigh in results. Well last week I lost a lb which left me with 4and 1/2lb to loose on 2 weeks (I wanted to get under the next stone by the time I go to Florida). I set myself a target of 2lb this week and 2lb next.

This week I weighed in and I had lost 3lb ( whoo hoo!!!!!!!) I was shocked but very pleased!

I now have 1 and 1/2lbs to loose to get under the next stone and only 1/2lb to reach my 2stone mark!!!!

Wish me luck!!!!

Our day with Leon

We had Leon for the day on Saturday. He was a joy to have again and very very good. I can't believe that he is nearly 6months old. After he had his lunch we took him out for a walk and we stopped off at the park. Here he is having his first ever go on a swing.

On the way back home we called into my friends house and she gave him a tiny rusk. (He loves rusks and wolfs them down for his lunch but normally they are mixed with some of his milk. He he is trying and almost succeeding in eating it (well as much as you can with no teeth!!). He made it all soggy so my friend ended up giving him little pieces and he ate it all!!

After his afternoon nap he had a little play and here he is watching Ice Age. He was mesmerised by it!
Another lovely day with him.

My First Trinitage Card

Last year I bought some trinitage sheets for Christmas from La Pashe. I decided to give them a go a couple of days ago and here is my first card.

I used card, gems and ribbon from my stash. The gold paper was from a Dawn Bibby kit I got a few years ago from QVC. Once you have made the tubes the concept is very easy and very effective.

This is the front of the card.

This is the inside.

Some Christmas Cards

Over the last few days I have been making some Christmas cards for my box. Here are some of them that I have done. The style came from a shoebox card that JanR did on our first meet to Appleby Magna.

The images are digi images that I got from somewhere and coloured them in promarkers last year sometime.

The white backgrounds are embossed with lines criss cross. The greetings are from Craftwork cards. The lotus pendent from spellbinders was used for the backing to the images.Backing card and gems are from my stash.

Anniversary Card

Today I suddenly remembered that I had had a text last week from a work colleague of my hubby's asking if I can make an anniversary card for his wife which is on 1st November. Don't know why I didn't do it at the time but I had completely forgot.

The remit was 15th anniversary which is crystal and flowers and hearts. This is what I came up with.

The backing paper is embossed and is gorgeous just wish I can remember where I got it from :-). The ribbon I actually got from a new top that I have recently bought and I cut the ribbon out! The flowers and bow are from my stash. For the gems (well they look like crystals!!) The greeting is computer generated and cut using a nestie.

This is the box that I made to go with it.

Opps!!!

Yesterday my husband had a little accident at work. He is a police inspector and has been waiting for for his new work phone. Well it arrived yesterday and as with most new phones you have to charge them up. So hubby lent over the shredder - yes I said shredder - to plug the charger on and guess what.......yep his tie got caught in the shredder... luckily all police officers have to wear clip on ties so he was able to pull it off before he did any damage to himself...although the same can't be said about the tie.....

I had to ring him up at work yesterday to break the news that I have to have a cap fitted on my dodgy tooth that had had root canal treatment a couple of months ago and it's gonna cost £350!!!!

He told me that my friend (who works with him) wanted to tell me something and he put her on the phone and she told me what had happened. Well to say I laughed, was an understatement. The only problem was I was standing in the middle of a shopping street and people were walking passed me as if I was a loony! hahahahahaha!!

My only regret was that I wasn't there to see it & they don't have CCTV in their office!!!!!!

Another Christmas Card

Good afternoon from a very sunny but chilly South Coast here..brrrr - had to succumb on Thursday and put my heating on!! Was determined not to have it on until November but can't stand being cold! Love this weather though - cold and crisp!

Yesterday I was up in my craft room and was feeling in a Christmassy mood so started going through my Christmas boxes ( I have a few!! didn't realise how much stuff I had) So I have decided this year to use what I already have and not buy anything new!! (well apart from the 3 new embossing folders I bought from e-bay :-) )

Here's the first one...it is a kit I bought in Doncaster last year from Kraftyhands . The kit comes complete with decoupage image, A5 card & enevelope and other co ordinating tags and seal etc.

I do have a coiple more so watch this space.
