Another Year older

It's good morning I've just noticed, where has the evening gone. Seems to be the story of my life nowadays, time just flies by and I never have much to show for it nowadays. Must tooter a lot! Later I am off to have a play with one of my crafter friends so will have to get myself organized, not my stongest point I must admit. But I am organized for this card for once. Baby of the family will be 19 years old on Wednesday. What my card says is, he loves his red car, time, not his strongest point but is also part of his present and the bear is as cute and handsome as he is, well! if a mum can't think so who can? Although I do have to play second fiddle nowadays (I'm willing too share!)

A Baby Boy

Oooo another dry sunny day up here and going to get better they say so off with the long trousers and on with the cropped ones and sleeveless tops, mind you need to loose a few pounds, well more than a few but that isn't going to happen overnight unless you know something I don't! So much to do outside but still aching from yesterdays gardening and I got a touch of sunburn so a bit rosy today.
 Bought a new Laptop today. Can't get my head round Windows 7 so different from Vista (funny, wouldn't have the same problem in a new craft shop) and dreading transferring all my docs from the old one, been a bit slap dash lately where I saved them. Thought to myself I'll sort it out later, funnily later never came. Back on the old one till I get everything up and running to my liking.
 This baby card made for my son and girlfriend to give to his cousin on the birth of  her baby boy. A real cutie he is.

Well at last we've had a glorious day and finally I managed some gardening. Uphill job nowadays but the good old weedkiller did make things easier. Have house to myself and i'm now too tired to make cards so think it will be a bit of blog hopping and an early night and hopefully get up to another lovely day and my body not too battered after today.
Followed SophisiCats challenge for my baby card, a bit bold but I like it, hope the couple do to.
