Suprise in the Post!

As I am going away this morning, my craft gear has all been packed away. Therefore I will miss doing the Theme Thursday, Sketches {by Tamara} & 4x4 Friday challenges. I have a few bits of art I haven't shared yet but today I will leave you with this. When I made an altered puzzle piece a week or so ago, I raved about some gorgeous pieces my forum friend had made. Links to her blog are in that post. Well I recieved this from her in the post. The photo os a touch blurred as it didn't like the flash in such poor daylight. But as you can see, it is stunning & it has my favourite child face.
A positive note I have now lost another lb in my weight loss quest. I had a bad start as the diet suggested to me actually made me gain weight despite all exercise. Then last week I damaged my knee & have been unable to do anything other than walk to work. But I am still losing 1lb per week, nice & steady. The Boots machine is playing sensible now & measuring me at the correct height. It makes all the difference to your BMI index! So I feel great, I'll be back to 9 stone before I know it & who knows the clothes I couldn't wear (which we expensive suits for work) might just fit as the weight is coming off the "problem" areas!
Now I must go dry my hair & get it straightened & its good bye from me until Monday. I will miss my computer & my morning blog hops!
