Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

Hi everyone, hope you all ok and ready for farther Christmas. I'm all excited as i bet you all are. Like to thank my followers and for all the help with my blog as i still don't no really what i should be doing but i think i'm getting there. Had a extra Christmas present today as i found out that i have been asked to be a GDT over at the sweet pea stampers for their February challenge and i had to say a big YES as its my very 1st and i over the moon. It means Ive got to get my thinking head on now as what to design to make them and me proud. That's enough of me going on but the main thing is that i would like to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New year and all the best for 2013 xxxx
Think this will be my last post for 2012 but i will probably still be having a check, its a bit addictive lol.
Hugs
Lozzy xxxxx

Grandson has arrived

Hi everyone, hope you all ok. To let you now Grandson Olli has arrived into the world yesterday at 3.06pm weighing 8lb 5.5oz. Both ok now after a bit of a struggle to come out and 13 hours labour. Daughter had a moan saying isn't your second supposed to be easyer lol. Think that because her 1st weighed 8lb 3oz and only in labour about 5 hours. Olli a bit of a chunky boy as you can tell in photo and looks like a old man already to me and he only a hour old lol. I'm sure they didn't weigh him right by the size of him. Got to do a bit of shopping now to get some bits for Olli, going to try and make a nappy cake so that's going to be fun lol...Lozzy xx
