My Lovely Followers- Thank You

Bigger round the middle?

Good evening folks. Hope you all had a wonderful family Christmas and got something lovely in your stockings. We have had the best time here. Santa brought Bradley most of the things on his list and yes the grown ups had just as much fun with it all as he did. My Mum came for dinner and we all had a really lovely day. We had another fab day on Tuesday, our little fella was 4. He had a party at a play centre with all his friends and had a fire engine cake with flashing lights on. I made a huge meat and potato pie for tea and then we had yummy cupcakes. Mmm!

I imagine I'm not alone in saying 'I've eaten and drunk too much!' It feels like I have'nt stopped and I'm sure I've piled on the pounds, although I dare'nt get on the scales and see just how much. Oh well, at least I still fit in my pj's. :o) Huge New Year diet heading my way.

I made a card this afternoon following a fab sketch over at Crafty Ribbons Challenge



I used: Saturated Canary, Hand Me Downs image 
First Edition papers
Spectrum Noirs, Promakers & Derwent pencils
Cheery Lynn dies
Flowers, doily and pearl heart from stash

 Also entering into: Stampin' for the Weekend anything goes
Charisma Cardz anything goes
Samuel Taylors anything goes

Righyho! I'm off to have a nose around blog town and catch up with all your lovely blogs. Have a lovely evening, whatever you're upto.
