Remember when...

Thank you so much everyone for your lovely comments from yesterday's challenge. It's always great to feel rewarded for your work especially when you don't think it's up to scratch and you're bombarded with comments filled with ooooh's and awwwww's. Makes us Ladybugs very happy :-D

I can't believe how quickly some of you posted your cards for the ribbon challenge. I barely got through all the DT's blogs when Lisa emailed me to say someone had posted!!

As the title says....Remember when....

Remember when you have your first baby and you look her in wonder and think 'wow' and all your love, hopes and dreams surround this letter person? You kinda wish their lives away...can't wait till she sits up, crawls, walks, talks .... goes to toddlers/playgroup/nursery/school/high school...get their first boyfriend...well you get the picture.

Trust me..this is leading somewhere lol. Oh heck...I guess I'll just tell you...

I'm going to be a MIL {scream}!!!!! For those of you that are letter challenged that translates to Mother In Law lol. Woo hoo...me...a MIL!!

Ben proposed to Nicole on Sunday and we/they couldn't be happier. She's dropped enough hints and thank goodness Ben's a quick learner lol. There are no details at this time but no doubt the wedding magazines will start coming in thick and fast.

Hubby and I knew it was going to happen as Ben had the 'chat' with Pierce the week before...awwww.

I was waiting impatiently on Sunday for the confirmation and when it came it went kinda like this...

Ring Ring (phone ringing)

Nic: Mom?

Me: Hiya

Nic: Silence (she's crying)

Me: Nic?

Nic: Mom....my finger

Me: what??? have you hurt your finger?

Nic: there's something on it

Me: don't tell me you have a wart??? (I'm trying not to laugh at this point)

 Nic: (wailing) Nooooooo....I've got a rock on it!

LOLOLOLOL...I know it was a bit cruel but I couldn't resist :-D She and Ben came over and it was all hugs and kisses and smiles and of course from me...'I don't do long engagements' lolol. I don't see the point really, do you? Especially when I want some little grandkidlets before I get too old to run after them...but I guess I'm getting a bit ahead of myself lol. Nic is so happy and can't stop looking at her rock {it's absolutely gorgeous}!

I guess I couldn't get away with not making a card and boy didn't the new release come at a great time! I grabbed 'Young Love' straight away and inked it up. Here's what I came up with...

 Not conventional engagement/love colours but there are hearts in the pp and of course it's one of MY favourite colours

 Untie the bow and it opens up...I've written a message to the left but didn't want to show it in the picture

 Don't they look so happy...and check out her rock lol!

And here are the 'real' happy couple {sniff}

So that's my Remember When...can't believe Nic was 3 weeks old when we arrived in Scotland and look at her now {sniff sniff}.

Hope you all have a great Wednesday.

Thanks for stopping by.

Catch ya later x
