CRAFTY TIME CHALLENGES - USE SOMETHING NEW!

Good morning to you all again - I am really chuffed to tell you that I am a DT member on a brand new Challenge blog called Crafty Time Challenges!  I've never been a DT member at the beginning of a Challenge blog before so I am particularly excited.  I don't want you to think that my other DT places are any less important because they aren't and I enjoy them all to bits - we have loads of fun and everyone is so friendly - and there is the added bonus that I am learning all about Facebook!!

This is a monthly challenge and we are being sponsored by Sherri Baldy's 'My Besties Digi and Rubber Stamps'. The prizes are as follows

First Place - 3 digi images
Second Place - 2 digi images
Third Place - 1 digi image

Well here is my first card for Crafty Time, my digi is called 'House Blessings' and both my Tattered Lace die and Tonic punch are brand spanking new (this will be a huuuuge surprise for my bestie Sue J - lol).

Thanks once again for popping over and checking out my card - I said on my last post that I would bore tell you about my weight loss ... well, since I was diagnosed with diabetes in mid February I have changed my eating habits totally - no extra sugar (I have honey on my porage), no chocolate (boo hoo), no cakes, no cheese, no bread, no biscuits and smaller portions all round and I have lost 22lbs (as at 2 weeks ago).  I don't weigh myself every week 'cos it's more of a surprise then!

Anyway 'nuff of that - I'll catch you all very soon.  Take good care of yourselves and I am sending you a big hug with this post!!!

Hugs to you all
