Despite her Attitude

Hi girls
Another card from my Blackberry that I haven't yet uploaded. This card was also made for Lianne's 14th Birthday, but this card was given to her from her brother Lewis. He had a very clear idea of what he wanted to give her. He knew that this Lili of th Valley image definitely had Lianne's (attitude and) name written all over it. He knew greens and purples were her favourite colours (but we opted for green) and that he wanted it to be a shaker card (he has a thing about shaker cards, bless 'im).

AND... he especially liked this sentiment from Create with TLC so he wanted it to appear on the front rather than inside.

Hope you like the cards and thank you for stopping by.

Lianne's Birthday Card

Hi girls
Just a quickie as I took this photograph with my Blackberry rather than my camera and have only just managed to upload and edit it.

I made this card for Lianne's recent 14th Birthday. She seemed to like it as it has been added to the ever growing pile of 'Cards-We-Want-2-Keep'. She had a really nice day despite her mummy havinf a stroke just 10 days before, but we still managed to make her day a special one. Even if it did cost me a small fortune, she's worth it.

12th Birthday Eve

This is my beautiful daughter - she is going to turn TWELVE tomorrow! Here she is with her beloved pet rat (and birthday present) SOXY!

I took this photograph this morning shortly after Lianne got out of her pit and the first thing she did was get "Soxy" out for a quick cuddle.

Soxy (Cheeky Rat)...

Another cute image of our Soxy. Lianne called her Soxy because of her white feet. She loves chocolate and last night she ate some crispy duck and prawn crackers. Don't worry, we only gave her some tiny little pieces, to entice her out from under the sofa and our first rat (mine and Steve's), Georgie, used to love having a chicken curry with rice on a Saturday night. I telephoned my friend Rod to tell her about Soxy (as Rod also had two rats when we had ours) and she was so excited that she is coming over for coffee and a rat cuddle on Thursday, bless her...

Foxy Soxy

This is "Soxy", Lianne's new pet rat. I went out to the market yesterday simply to buy a few bits and bobs and possibly get a nice present for Lianne's birthday (next Sunday) while I was out and ended up coming home with this and a cage!

It was a well thought out present though as Lianne was overjoyed and totally excited to have received her new friend. The whole family have taken to her actually. Me and Steve used to have rats before we had children and so it was a real joy to have another in the house. She's so friendly and totally scrummy (despite her disappearing act for two hours under the sofa last night) Cheeky monkey errr.... I mean Rat!
