Lili of the Valley - Sketch by lovely Dawny P

 Good morning my lovelies ..... I just love Thursdays!!!! Firstly because I can share my weight loss for the week with you all ... managed 1.5lbs this week so now at 12lbs off in 5 weeks - I am really happy and enjoying trying lots of new recipes.

The other reason, and main one of course is that it is my favourite challenge of the week ..... yep, another time to play with us all at Lili of the Valley. Oh my, these images just make me want to make cards all night long! We have an amazing sketch by our gorgeous Dawny P and it is one of my faves ever!!! To be honest, I almost didn't add any flowers at ll, it really does not need any embellies - you will see for yourself if you play along.

I swear I am in love with this .... is she just not too cute for words!!!! I am sure many of you have already bought 'Birthday Fairy' from LOTV's online store .... if you haven't then you can buy her HERE. Don't forget aout the fab sentiments too from LOTV .... all of them are just so lovely. I have used some scrummy new papers I picked up this week at The Papermill Shop - I had no idea it was closing all their stores in the next few weeks- shock horror!

A little close up of the gorgeous blooms from Wild Orchid Crafts.

.... and a little closer look at the star of the card ...... too sweet!

I have just got an ebay account so that means you can now bid for this card HERE

S.W.A.L.K. sneak peek

Hiya, ooh I am a bit later than planned. Been an eventful evening here tonight. First of all Ryan took his first drive without any of us so I felt as sick as a dog watching him drive off, what a mum I am, lol. Will feel better when he gets home soon. Then hubby and I popped out only to discover smoke billowing out the back of the localpetrol station. They hadn't even phoned the fire brigade so we had to tell them to get out and dial 999 - I am not kidding!!!!

So here is my next card from the new S.W.A.L.K. release from Crafter's Companion. Remember to tune into Create & Craft on Saturday (more news about that on Friday!!!!)

Music Saves My Soul

Morning on what is still a blustery day - where has all this windy weather come from??? Think it will be gone soon though because it doesn't seem as strong. I forgot to tell you all that my son passed his driving test on Monday - this will mean no more band runs for me but instead I can stay home and worry instead!

So as we all know it is Saturday so time to get searching for some music to share with each other, My song this week is by a band who strangely I didn't like as a teen however now I just adore their music. They are amazing musicians and Mark Knopfler is such a gifted guitarist - hope you enjoy my choice, sit back, close your eyes and feel the goosebumps it gives you
