WOYWW #657 - New Year Scrapping

Desk picture just to show you how it is most of the time if I'm not mid-crafting...

Duolingo on tablet but I do some on my desktop too.

Occupational glasses with ribbon on arm to distinguish from my usual bifocals (same frames) as I often used to get halfway down the stairs thinking my glasses needed cleaning before I'd realise I hadn't changed them round - Doh!

Purple fluffy unicorn gift from my mate. Really wanted something purple and fluffy too, so was overjoyed when I opened it. I made her a purple thank you card.

Behind the card are my hand weights. I am still having trouble with my wrist after my carpal tunnel surgery last September. I'm going to give it a few more weeks/months before making my appointment to see the surgeon again.

So to the scrapping. I combined several geocaching days as they were all part of the same circuit near Effingham, gotta love some of our place names.

The quite fussy patterned paper jumped out of my paper folder but was mostly obscured by the photos so I did some fussy cut outs. Hubby reminds me of the Jolly Green Giant!
These two pages show my hubby at a works leaving do and me at my friend's Baptism. They should be round the other way chronologically but I hadn't realised I'd put the titles down the joining sides so have swapped them round in my album.
And finally I finished this beauty in record time. Love all the colours it was quite delightful to do.


Happy WOYWW Everyone.

  3. Lovely to see your finished jigsaw. Sorry to hear your hand is still not right. My daughter has her operation in February and expects to be back at work two weeks later as that is what the consultant told her. Happy WOYWW Angela #1

  8. Well if you want something purple and fluffy, of course a unicorn is the correct answer! Lovely to get a gift that brings you joy. Like the scrapbook pages, Effingham is a classic isn’t it, one of my favourite pubs within driving distance is in a village called Faccombe. Locally it’s not pronounced like it’s spelt I can tell you, makes me squirm! Hope this new year sees a good conclusion for your hand.
