Blink ...

I am sure there are many other posts like this out in blogland this week, but where does time go? My baby started school this week. He loves it so far and has been proclaiming school is 'cool as' since Monday when I picked him up. I hope that enthusiasm lasts.

Many of you know Josh is an IVF baby, and I had him relatively late in life, at 39. He was 2 weeks overdue and although he tests us at times, was worth every second of that wait. It only seems like yesterday I was walking the corridors of Jessie Mac in the middle of the night in early labour, now he's at school. I am so proud of him and so glad I have spent so much time at home with him over the last 5 or so years. I think he's going to go places this boy.

From this at 6 weeks:

To this, in the blink of an eye:

So that's why I haven't posted so many cards this week. Just soaking it all in, doing coffee with the other Mums, negotiating this change in our weekly routine.

I did manage this very quick and easy card using a couple of the Saleabration sets. The butterfly is from Merci and was embossed in silver embossing powder and then watercoloured. The swirl and the sentiment are from another saleabration set, Friendship Blooms. The base colour is Sahara Sand, a really nice neutral colour and the other colours are Not Quite Navy and Pumpkin Pie.

I'm about to draw the winner of the Both Way Blossoms set using random.org (because everyone else seems to be, lol). I want to thank everyone for their well thought out responses. I was blown away by the response to this one and the feedback is so helpful. I will be putting the feedback to good use over the coming months, so watch this space! Be back soon with the big announcement!
