Okay, Didn't Quite Make It....

But I have managed 2 posts in one week which is a definite improvement. My resolution is to make next week much more productive and keep this lil' ol blog updated... lol

Anyway, my daughter (who luckily no longer lives with me) is convinced she has swine fever, and being at Uni and doing her exams at the moment (biomedical science) she is even more convinced, especially as today it has been confirmed that someone in Colchester has contracted Swine Fever... she is now convinced it is only a matter of time...

Have bought some new Go Kreate Teddy Dies and some clothes for them and hope to make my grandson a birthday card using them next week... we will see, yesterday for the first time in years I had to buy (yep I did say BUY) my Dad a birthday card... that is how bad I am getting..

Okay, so on my ongoing weight saga, did I mention I lost 3lb this week, that is nearly 3 stone in all so very pleased with myself, but I really need to tone up and you are not allowed to do too much exercise on this diet as you dont consume enough calories, so I have just ordered a Power Trainer, this is supposed to vibrate your body into toning up by making your muscles contract at a stupid rate, so as I have become the weight losing obsessive, I have decided to give it a try, it has lots of 5* ratings on Amazon and Madonna swears by it, so who am I to argue... I will let you know how I go....


Anyway, now for todays card, I made this a few weeks ago as I haven't made anything else recently other than my daughter's birthday card...

Used Old Olive Cardstock and Tempting Turquoise Cardstock and Ribbon. The stamp I have had for ages, not sure who made it and the flowers were from my stash. A nice simple card that I seem to make too few of.... have a great weekend all xx

Ooops, nearly forgot how to sign in.....

Its been so long since I updated.... life has well and truly got in the way, and then my cat decided to have kittens in the middle of my bedroom and so I cannot get my craft stash out very easily, so decided to take a break.



I have now set up a new Stampers 8 and ladies I will be contacting you very shortly with all the details, I haven't forgotten about you, but have been busy sorting out the orders that have arrived over the last few days, not least the long awaited out of stock items that some of you have been waiting for since April, I guess Stampin' Up! never guessed the scallop punches etc would prove so very popular....



My diet is going well, since starting on the Cambridge Diet nearly 7 weeks ago I have lost nearly 2 stone, so well pleased with the results... I even fit into size 12 jeans, although they are a tinsy bit tight at the moment, but give it 2 weeks and they will be awesome...



Went to Alton Towers last Saturday, went on all the "must go on" rides, the oblivion, nemesis, enterprise and Rita, and in the evening there was a concert there of Christian bands like Superchick, Kutless and Band With No Name... an excellent time was had by all, not least my daughter who had the camera trained on her for a good 30 seconds... so I guess we will be looking out for the concert on GOD TV over the next few weeks.....



Anyway, I have actually made a card today, because it is my daughters birthday tomorrow, so really I had to make one... lol and here it is....

Basic Grey Wisteria Paper, new crinkled scallop edge punch from EK Success, Image is from the Greetings Farm and flowers are from my stash.... image is coloured in using copic markers... I hope that she likes it... hopefully I will be back tomorrow, but I have a card order that needs completing....

Have a good evening all xx
