In my defence Wednesday is turning out to be one of my busiest days of the week just now. Having said that yesterday was fun. I did my usual food shop but then had a wee mooch around my local town. I ended up with a few bargains for the house and family, one of which had me whooping with joy. Why? Well I haven't mentioned it much on here but last June I started my journey with a local Slimming World group...all that baking and sat on my bum crafting was finally taking it's toll. I decided it was time to do something about it.
Yesterday's shopping trip was the cherry on the cake as I managed to get a pair of jeans 4 dress sizes smaller than last year and feeling great about it too. With all that excitement and the usual music and Judo classes last night I didn't even venture into my craft room all day! Shocking I know. How will I cope?!
Today I have a bespoke card made this week for a friend who every year asks me to make her daughter a card. It is usually a similar theme of "cats and dogs" so I have to remember what I've already done in the past. This year I decided, for a change, to do her initial and add a couple of embellishments.
Here it is....
I do hope her daughter likes it.
That's all from me today I'm now away to work on my next Sugar bowl card ready for next months challenge as I have a lot of things to organise for the end of the month.
I also had an interesting telephone conversation yesterday about another possible project....but my lips are sealed on that front...at least for now!

What's not to like Erika, it's a lovely card. I'm sure your friend and her daughter will both love it.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant news about your weight loss. 4 sizes smaller is fantastic. I really, really need to do something about my weight! I have such a sweet tooth and that doesn't help. I've baked for Christmas, then the WRI, then two shows this week. I still need to bake in May as it's my friend's turn for teas so she did my sandwiches so I'll do her cakes. I think I can see a solution to a lot of the stuff that's in my tins at the moment. I'll take it to my daughter when we go to babysit at the weekend!!

WOW, WOW, WOW, 4 dress sizes what an achievement, bet you feel FAB. I follow SW too but I seem to be going up instead of down but I treat the Group Night as a social night. Will try harder.
ReplyDeleteLove your card, bet it will be much appreciated, what a great idea using the initial, one to try if you don't mind.

ReplyDeleteWow Erika, congratulations on your weight loss. That must have been such a morale boost being able to fit in to jeans four times smaller. Well done you. Your card is just purrfect. Have a good weekend.
