Sleeping Beauty

This is Poppy's due date, my sisters birthday but Poppy decided she didn't want to share her birthday so made her appearance a week earlier. Looking back she was so small but some more memories treasured forever.

A Mothers Love

These are some of the pictures from when we first got Poppy home at just 15hours old. I will always remember these moments and how I felt for this beautiful little person who had come into our lives.....it only feels like yesterday and not 10months ago!

Great Grandad

The first time Poppy met her 98year old Great Grandad at just 5 days old. These memories will be treasured forever and I want to be able to show Poppy them when she grows up.

Grandad & Me

This is the first time my dad met and held Poppy, she is 4 hours old here, just waiting to be able to go home. My poor dad looks exhausted, think I might have kept them awake most of the night being in labour and then ringing at 4am to tell them Poppy had arrived.

15 hours old...

I have managed to get another LO done, this time it is Poppy at home meeting her aunty and granny....she is just 15 hours old here hence the title. It was ever so strange being at home with a brand new baby but looking back now it brings a tear to my eye as it feels like yesterday and not 9 months ago!

1st Birthday Card...

Today I have attempted to make my very first easel card....well I have numerous 1st birthdays coming up and I want to be able to make some cards which will be different to the bog standard card from the shop. So after some playing and making a few mistakes as to where I wanted things to go I came up with this. At least now I know how to make an easel card and it really isn't as hard as I thought. Hope you like it. I would like to enter it into the crafts & me easel card challenge
