A BABY BOY

Hi Everyone

What a glorious day it has been .. ..in fact it has been so sunny that I have been forced to clean my front windows and door as I couldn't stand looking at them with the sunlight on them any longer!!  

The sunshine makes them look ten times dirtier than they really are (well that's my excuse and I will be sticking to it LOL!!).

Another pastel share today:




This used:

Image:  Lili of the Valley (one of my NEC purchases)
Sentiment and Backing Papers:  Pink Petticoat
Martha Stewart Punch:  Traditional Scallop
My Trusty Sewing Machine
ProMarkers
Ribbon, cord, eyelet and pears from the Stash Box

So that is me for today .. .. bright and early as I am celebrating my birthday today with a Chinese takeaway with my lovely hubby and little baby boy.

Bang goes the "watching what I eat" diet this week .. .. .. and it will only get worse as it is our wedding anniversary later this week too!!

Have a great evening everyone.

Love

  1. Treating you like the Queen and sending you another official Happy Birthday wish Jules.

    Enjoy your Chinese and the rest of your day, it's certainly been beautiful for you weather wise.

    And tell that hubby of yours I'm changing my style, there again that might mean moving towards Tildas ? Maybe not then.
