37 weeks - happy full term baby girl!!

Here is my 37 week baby bump


I can't believe my baby girl is now full term. I am so excited. I feel like a first timer again.
Only 3 weeks left until my due date now.

Christmas cards

Here is a selection of Christmas cards we made this year

First creation I made with Christopher that we sent to Scotland: 

Popped the presents up on 3D pads

6 others work in progress:

6 others finished:

Christopher had so much fun making these.  We also made snowman cards:

Then I made a few simple photo cards, these were the designs: 

The photos were the most important part of these cards, I kept them simple and made them so the photos can be removed.

This was a last minute card made very late on christmas eve to put a gift voucher in after we lost the card it was supposed to go in. Lol. 

Christmas Giant Cupcake

Here is my Christmas giant cupcake creation. Not for anyone other than us :o)

Started off with a giant cupcake trimmed:


I put buttercream in the middle of the 2 layers and then covered the rest in buttercream:


I then surrounded the bottom with chocolate fingers and secured it with some ribbon, it needed a box and a half worth of chocolate fingers.


I then piped the buttercream using my Wilton 1M nozzle, used yellow smarties, some dr oetker soft pearls and a giant chocolate star to decorate :o)


This should satisfy my craving for cake :o)

36 weeks

Here is my bump pic taken on Monday when I turned 36 weeks.


From above:



Just 4 weeks left now :o)

My gorgeous Christopher

As I add pictures of my bump I think it is only fair that I add a picture of my gorgeous boy Christopher. 

Here he is a couple of weeks ago at my best friends wedding: 

 Playing with my fascinator: 

Lastly a family picture, my fiancé Lee, Christopher and Me:

35 Weeks

Here is me at 35 weeks

34 weeks

Eeeeekkkk!!! Only 6 weeks to go!
Although if this little lady is anything like her big brother then it will be more like 8 weeks considering he was 13 days late.

33 week bump and pregnancy update

This pregnancy really is going way to fast, our baby girl is due in little over 6 weeks now, so in little over 3 weeks she will be full term!!! Eeeeekk!
I remember my son's pregnancy dragging but my goodness would I like this to slow down now. We have so much that needs doing before she arrives so hopefully we can get most of it sorted in the next couple of weeks before Christmas.
Here is my 33 week bump pic:

31 & 32 week bump

31 weeks

32 weeks

I can't believe this pregnancy is going soooo quickly!! I'd like it to slow down now!

My friends wedding gift and card

This is the frame that I made for my best friends wedding gift. Their song is Angels by Robbie Williams so I wanted to do something with that, especially as it was their first dance song too. 

The frame is a box frame:

 The paper is embossed and the angels are made of wood

 Close up of the details:

 This is the wedding card that I made for them.

I hope that they like the gift, they didn't have a wedding list and asked for money/vouchers but I wanted to give them a little something special to open to remember their day too. I don't think they have opened it yet as they have gone off on a mini-moon for the weekend. They aren't going on a honeymoon until Christmas time due to the bride being a teacher and not being able to have any time off until holiday time.
