Feeling a little sorry for myself......

Well, amazingly I have finished the Dates to Celebrate book! I say amazingly for two reasons...the first being I have had the most horrendous cold which then became sinusitis. I just didn't feel like doing anything...even crafting. Having my head looking downwards was so painful that it wasn't really an option. I finish my antibiotics today, but am still not right...hopefully will clear up completely over the next few days, as mum and I are off to London on Friday!
This is the second reason that I am amazed the book got finished....


.....I mean, how could anything attractive be created from this utter MESS??????!!! Anyway I did complete it and here it is....


I was really pleased with the way it turned out. The Spring Fling papers looked so bright and cheerful! Here are a couple of inside pages...




I made a flower for the front using Tim's Tattered Flowers die.....I just love it!!


I dropped the book off to my friend last night, so she could pass it onto the recipient...I hope she enjoys her birthday present!!
Well, the paracetamol are calling...so I'd best be off (good result is that I'd lost 2.5lbs at Weight Watchers, so it's not all bad!!)
Love Jayne xx

Way to go with your weight loss Jayne - I really should try and shift some excess lbs before the summer - sitting crafting doesn't help me though LOL
Fabby present, I love handmade gifts, I always feel that so much more is given in a handmade gift.

Hope your feeling better soon.
