Showcase 17..........

Good morning and welcome to my new followers. Hope the weather is being kind to you all,  it is dry and sunny here at the moment :-). I finally managed to get round to making my card yesterday once i shooed hubby off to work lol.

Talking of hubby it was that time of year for the car MOT so off he went Saturday morning, thinking that he was coming home while the car was being sorted, but no he decided to stay there and have a look round at all the cars and then he kept sending me pictures saying what do you think of this one and did I want to go and have a look at them, well I had too. We had been talking about exchanging for another. After he got home and had coffee, off we trundled back to the garage to check the cars out......... and yes we did buy another and we pick it up this Saturday, no not a brand new one, so excited now and cannot wait. Anyway thats enough of that, lets get onto this week`s Showcase which is.........

I think you have to agree with me yet again what a wonderful set of cards the girls have created, and I really do hope you will hop over to their blogs and leave well deserved comments.

Elaine, Janet, Tina and Gill THANK YOU.

I hope you do not mind but I need to make a very special comment for a very special lady and friend. 

Our Lindsay has not been very well at all and I really did not expect her to do a card for this week`s Showcase, so when I went onto the DT blog this morning and saw that Lindsay had uploaded her card, and I have to say it is gorgeous.

THANK YOU Lindsay you are a STAR.

 

 

 

 

 

Daffodil Showcase.....

I know it`s a bit late in the year for daffs but what the heck lol. Unfortunately I  am having printer problems at the moment so I was unable to print off my digi and I have had to resort to showing a card I did a few months back,  which you might have seen already (sorry). Once hubby has mended the printer I shall ensure that I will make a new and fresh card. Would any of you ladies like to be a guest DT for my Westie or mask digi`s, ( you can see them in my digi shop) if so leave a comment to say you would and I will contact you 

Shall we see what the girls have been up too..............

This week my Guest DT is the Talented and great friend................

Need to lose Weight !!!!!!!!!!!

Good morning everybody and  welcome to my new followers.. Thank you.

Hubby and I have decided that we need to lose weight (especially hubby lol ) I have felt very uncomfortable in myself over the last few weeks, and only being 5ft 3 and now weighing 11st ( 154lbs) arghhhh (scream out loud), enough was enough, so when Mick came across the app above for the Iphone and website, we decided to give it ago.

We only started friday evening, out went the choccies and in came more fresh fruit and veg and smaller portions. Luckily we have a static bike which I must admit was covered with a fine layer of dust lol. That is now been dusted off and we are now on this regular, Mick is still on 10 mins twice a day and myself too, but today have upped my goal for 20 mins twice a day for the next few days. When I weighed myself this morning I had lost a 1lb. It may be a small amount but I am chuffed. I have added my weight lose app above so it can remind me if I am sitting here for too long lol and also you lovely peeps can see how I am doing :O)).  Wish us luck please.
