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 Junk Journaling too. Previously I've also dabbled in ATCs, Tags, Altered Books, Mixed Media, Art Journaling, 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, but am plagued by a bad back. I like walking which I couple with Geocaching and sometimes Bouncing on my Rebounder (mini trampoline). I guess I am officially retired now. I am a born again Christian, currently worshiping at my local Vineyard Church.

WOYWW #677 - Back to Scrapping

Here's my desk with new computer PLUS all the other crafty stuff back on it this week!

WOW - what a great week to have made my come back last week with the 13th anniversary. I managed to make 3 ATCs, posted 2 and kept one.

My connection theme was quite "loose" and abstract as in Yellow and Blue connect to make Green. Then whilst making the background I was reminded of Ukraine and I'm sure we all connect with them in the current situation.

I also received a gorgeous ATC from Kyla plus some papers and toppers - thank you so much.

Love the world die Kyla used and of course the background and glitter in my favourite colour.

And so to the scrapping. A double LO of more geocaching my hubby and I did last Summer. I used the google pin drop on the map photo, like I saw on an ATC last week, thanks Spyder.

Got another couple of LOs on my desk in the process of being done, so should have some more by next week.


Happy WOYWW Everyone.

WOYWW #676 - Happy Anniversary

OK So I didn't actually plan to come back for the Anniversary it's just a happy coincidence :) 

In the 2 months I've been absent I have had a new computer as the old one's capacitors had blown and it kept dying until it really died completely.

Lots more room under my desk now as it is so much smaller. It is a reconditioned one from Amazon for about £150. Hubby let me have a one of his bigger monitors too which helps with paperless stuff better.

I haven't really been crafting much lately, so I thought I'd wait until I'd actually done a scrap page before showing my face above the ramparts. 

A few throw back photos from Sept 2000 of my late Mother-In-Law, Hubby and our Son aged 1 3/4yrs. We have been walking in the fields behind our house a lot lately and always remember her coming with us that time.

I made a couple of birthday cards too.


I have also had my first pair of NHS hearing aids fitted and can hear oh so much better now. Obviously not something noticed on-line but I was missing out on a section of sounds in the higher bracket. They are way smaller than I thought and match my hair colour LOL.

Consequently my harp sounds so much more divine and I've been learning a new piece called "May It Be".<- CLICK

I guess that is about it.

Happy WOYWW 13th Anniversary Everyone...
