About Me

My photo
Hi, Welcome to my Blog. I'm an eclectic kind of crafter delving into many pots. I am just about managing to keep up my Scrapbooking Diary (usually about 6 months behind), plus any cards as required. I have a new found love of Watercolour and Bible Journaling plus recently Faith/Art Journaling too. I've challenged myself to make an art journal page a day for this my 60th year. Previously I've also dabbled in ATCs, Tags, Altered Books, Mixed Media, Décopatch, Knitting, Crochet, and Embroidery amongst other things. I live in Surrey, UK with my husband, our son has left home now. For exercise I usually play Badminton and go Ballroom and Latin Dancing. I also like walking/Geocaching and sometimes do a bit of Bouncing on my Rebounder (mini trampoline). I have been learning to play the harp for the past 10yrs. I am now officially retired. I am a born again Christian, currently worshiping at my local Vineyard Church.

WOYWW #618 - May 2020 Nearly Sorted.

Desk shot taken Tuesday evening. 

The eagle eyed will spot my watercolour of my pond. 

I had a go at the  little square samples last week, along with an origami twisted box, then thought I'd have a go at the pond. 

I'm more of a splodge and go type of a painter LOL.

 






I seem to have managed a few layouts nearly wrapping up May 2020.





Oh and the pond, it you'd like to see the creation to date, click on Amelia Pond for my previous post on the matter. Here are a few photos anyways.



So that's me for the week. 
Some more plants on order and cracking on with scrapping. 

Happy WOYWW Everyone.

Amelia is coming on nicely BJ. Hope she got over the shock of being frozen over the other day. The layouts are great - you will have caught up with everything by the end of this year methinks. Stay safe and happy WOYWW. Sarah #7

Morning BJ. Wow. You have been busy!!! Glad your pond is looking so lovely. The long branches into the water are great - birds can wash, frogs can climb in and out - brilliant.
Take care. God bless.

I have got the pebbles and rocks ready to tidy up our pond, but because I had tomatoes plants in pots growing on the little bridge...I think the feed must've gotten into the water, because we still have thick green blanket weed. Your pictures have inspired me to go start my to do garden jobs! (only not yet, it's too cold!)I painted our metal white garden chairs and table, (they were my mums and looked like they'd been refused entery to the tip) with the same wood paint I used on the shed and fence...and waterbutt...and pots!
Have a great week. Stay safe, Happy WOYWW((Lyn)) #13

Happy WOYWW. Loving your pond. I used to have a fantastic big/deep pond at the first house I bought when I lived in the West Midlands. Koi Carp and lots of plants. Would like a pond again one day. So many fab layouts. I am going to get on with some scrapping this week. Ali x #23

Your new pond looks fantastic - although it is in danger of freezing over - you would have thought it could be so cold in April? Lovely layouts - happy WOYWW! xx zsuzsa #21

Well, the weather means you’ll be able to crack on with scrapping for sure! I reupholstered our new (to us) dining chairs last summer too, I love the double spread all about chairs. Well done with the pond, you certainly seized the right timeline, it looks marvellous.

Susan Renshaw said...

A great selection of layouts and am impressed with both watercolour and reality of the pond!
Happy WOYWW!

I love the idea of painting your new pond, BJ. It is so pretty! Just popped over to the post about it. What a lovely job you have all made of it, to enhance an already pretty garden. Love the watercolour samples too.

Happy belated WOYWW and God bless,

Your pond is looking great. What did you think of the twisted origami box design? I find that one the hardest.
Your layouts are looking good
Take care

Thanks for your return visit, BJ - glad you enjoyed seeing the carrot shark and the Easter egg - a pond liner is a bit longer-lasting than a chocolate egg haha! A great present.

Have a good weekend.
