Jack 27th March - Sitting Pretty

Jack is now sitting quite nicely on his own, he tends to do the wobble thing to correct himself when he is tipping over.

He's not yet crawling but that doesn't stop him getting to where he wants to be, he simply rolls and then spins his body around.

He's still the cutest kid on the block.

This is a shot where he thinks it's ok to lunge forward and grab what ever he wants, normally resulting in a nose dive.

Slimming - Diet update

Isn't it strange that when you feel you've failed you do the best?

This week I lost 2lb so in total so far that is 11lb I've lost(woop,woop)

I still havent noticed feeling any less in weight but my Mam says she can see it now in my face. I Just need to lose it off my tummy next please.

I'f I could get to the stage where my tummy no longer sits on my lap when I sit on the loo I'd be a happy bunny.

My Mam is doing marvelous and has lost 13lb, she goes to a sit and get fit club and she loves it and she also goes to the hydrotherapy pool too, my Mam is in a wheelchair so isn't as active as most but she doesn't let this stop her (so proud of my Mam)

How have you done this week?

Well I'm 1 week down on my 6 weeks wait for treatment of my psoriasis, I really don't know how I am going to wait another 5 weeks, I'm sore and uncomfortable, I scratch so hard during the night and I am terrified that I loose my hair as it is so thick on my head at the moment.

I remember when I first got psoriasis, I was 21 and just had Lauren, I remember going to the hospital for my first appoinment and seeing lots of people with alopecia many caused through psoriasis, oh lord let me skip this please.

Mummu's Laundry - Digi Stamp Card

Don't you just love freshly dried outside linen? it has to be one of my favourite smells.

This is Mummu's Laundry by Mo Manning and it is real fun to colour, I coloured it using Promarkers.

Attention to detail...

I used the Martha Steward punches on the background papers, the lattice edge was perfect for adding the ribbon.

A matching Prima Flower placed in the top corner.

A couple of pearl headed pins to finish the card.

Dont Forget I have Easter Candy to win end date is 27th March

Spellbinders Pendant Die - Spring Card

I love shades of green and as soon as I found this backing paper in my stash I set to work making a card. Lots of layering with this card but keeping the design flat.

Attention to detail...

The backing paper was cut into 3 strips them mounted onto matching card to contrast with the base card, the brown backing card for the Spellbinders Pendant Die was cut into a square then the corners were snipped using the Deep Edger Martha Stewart Punch.

You can see in this picture how I edges the pendant in a gold pen, the centre of the pendant is a Prima flower centre.

Simply Said

Just a delicate card made with the Simply Said stamp set from Stampin Up and the Victorian Cuttlebug A2 embossing folder, some pink ink and pretty ribbon.

Attention to detail...

Distressed edges an a little bit of Stickles glitter glue to give some interest to the design.

I found a pretty little ribbon with ivory leaves attached so I used it with a pink twill ribbon overlaid on top.
