TRY STAMPIN ON TUESDAY #67

Hello, and can you believe it is that time again for Try Stampin On Tuesday. Jenn has come up with another fabulous sketch and I had lots of fun creating this card. I must admit I think combining chocolate a  talented stamping friend ( Tracey Old)  added to the fun of making this card.
Well I have been enjoying the sun and trying to get a few jobs done around the house.........with only 10 weeks to go till the little critter is born its all go.

TRY STAMPING ON TUESDAY # 63

Hello, its so nice to be finally back stamping after having a huge break.......in the last couple of months our family has been through alot and like most hobbies stamping is the first thing that gets left behind when the pressure is on.
Just last month my husbands mother passed away unexpectedly  which has left a huge hole in our family, I have been in hospital with really bad food poisoning, an old family friend died tragically, and Noah's pet rabbit which he adored passed away too.
Its been alot to deal with but we are finally starting to get back to some kind of normality. On a brighter note our family is expecting our fourth child...........which the boys are so excited about and well ok Mum and Dad are too.
I am due around the first week of August so only 3 months to go. yay!


So despite everything that's been happening lately I managed to whip up this weeks Try Stampin On Tuesday sketch which is a beauty.
It was so nice to get my stamping stuff out and have a play.
If you would like to play along click here and its even worth checking out what the other designers have created for some inspiration.
I will be back on in the next day or two to give away some blog candy so make sure you come back.
Lots of love,
Amy xxx

Over the school holidays we took the kids to the beach and stayed in a little Bach in Mokau, it was so relaxing and the kids had so much fun swimming everyday and fishing etc. We even had some really good friends come up for the day and stay the night with their kids.
I thought you might enjoy some photos.

Have a great night,
