More Candy - Happy Birthday To Me & My First Smash Book Page

Hello peeps,

We had such a wonderful day yesterday, we babysat little Ollie while his daddy Rob & Uncle Gareth decorated the nursery ready for the baby girl's arrival. He was so good all day, he is always such a happy little man he had us in fits of laughter all day, no prizes for guessing who got thoroughly spoilt lol.

The reason for my post today is it's my birthday & I am so lucky to have so many wonderful and generous blogging friends who have spoilt me rotten, and I want to say a massive thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the beautiful cards and gifts, you really have made my day.
Today has been really lovely with friends coming round and loads of phone calls, I've been trying to get on my computer to email and thank everyone but it's been bedlam here and I can't believe the day has gone so quickly but I will get around to thanking you all personally asap.

I thought as it's a special day for me I would share a little extra candy consisting of one of my favourite new crafty products, a Retro Blue SMASH book. 

If you fancy having a go at "SMASHIN''" or already SMASH and want the chance of winning another book all you have to do is leave me a comment to let me know you want to enter the draw, easy peasy lol.

I have my very first Smash Book page to share today and I have started with my pretty pink book. After much looking at the books wondering what on earth I was going to do with them I had ideas galore but hadn't done any until I saw in the CMC Smash Book group Suzanne had set a challenge with some prompts which was just perfect for me as it kind of gave me a goal to aim for following the theme of "what I love about Spring & or my favourite thing to do in Spring....."  The group is free and anyone is welcome to join in.
Sorry the piccy's aren't the best but if you want to see them better click on the pic.

Naturally I had to get chocolate & Ollie on my page lol, and I just love the sound of the "frogs chorus" although Gareth hates it as they really do get quite loud and his bedroom window is at the back of our house only a few feet from the pond. I just remind him he did choose to move back home & they never bothered me when I had his bedroom as my craft room lol.

I'm sure you all know already this gorgeous girl is called Wash Day and is by Krista Smith, I am loving  colouring Krista's sweet images at the moment, now I just need to find time to make cards with them.

You have one week to enter the draw to win a SMASH book so I will close this mini candy next Tuesday evening.

Thanks you again my lovely friends for helping to make my day so special
