WOYWW #716 - Fallout

Thank you to everyone for my Birthday Wishes, so sorry I didn't make it to any desks last week. 

I forgot to mention last week started with the sad news that a friend had died suddenly. 

She was only a year older than me, but I sort of put it on hold until after my birthday and second reading session then it hit me! 

Been quite tearful since then and now I'm so tired I'm not going dancing (writing this Tuesday evening instead). I made this sympathy card for the family.

I got the little "Joyful Journal" book for my birthday and am enjoying filling it in, it's very therapeutic.

One of my Bible Journaling Groups had an online retreat this week but I just couldn't coordinate myself to attend. 

I managed to download the printables and printed a selection yesterday, along with the sketches for the Lent Water Colour Bible Journaling - Journey to Jesus.

I used some items on my scripture card this week, the hearts and tags. #scripture52 

And I finished off my Journal pages on the 4 types of love in the Bible.

Agape - God's Selfless Love for us

Eros - Romantic love

Philia - Brotherly Love

Storge (STORjay) - Family Love

Loving my white POSCA pen I got for Christmas, first type of white pen to work consistently for me in ages.

I guess that is me this week. Amazed I had the energy to even type this today.


Happy WOYWW Everyone.



Got this pebble to decorate in church a couple of weeks ago and it just spoke HEART to me.

WOYWW #715 - Birthday Edition

Busy week with BT engineers, first reading session, Valentine's and now my birthday.

I started my journal page..

I did my week 6 card eventually.


And I recorded my latest harp piece



Only had the music for a week so it still needs refining. 

Writing this on my phone whilst watching Vera after dancing.... not sure I'll have time tomorrow...

Happy WOYWW Everyone.

WOYWW #714 - God's Sweet Love

Desk mid-journaling wonders will never cease.

I had to clear up a little before writing this so I could get to the keyboard though!

I'm following a Bible Study on the FB group - The Journaling Corner using their free printables.


I did the January and February pages for another FB group, earlier in the week. 

I'm a bit behind due to all the set up/training for the Bookmark Reading. My first session is booked for next Tuesday 14th, Valentines - LOL.


I took our Christmas tree down on Thursday - Candlemass.

First year of the Brown Bin to pop it straight into, that made it a bit easier.

I did my #Scripture52 card a few days earlier this week too.

I seem to be getting my act together now January is behind me.

And finally the scrapbook pages which were pending last week. That's May 2022 done and onto June now (pending on desk again!).


Happy WOYWW Everyone.

WOYWW #713 - Volunteer Reading Training

Had my background screen out for some Teams Drop-In sessions pre-reading volunteering, hence my notebook on my desk. 

All we are waiting on is our BT internet to be upgraded to Full Fibre and there was a problem with the order which is nearly sorted out but has caused humongous stress this past week or so!

I have a couple more May 2022 scrapbook layouts on the go, and have finished a couple too.

Loving my Basic Grey papers.


Hoping hubby won't venture onto my blog as I have made a Valentines and our Anniversary Card too, 14th & 28th February respectively. 25 years married soon, scary!

With my birthday on 15th, (which is a WOYWW day whoop whoop) it's a busy month for him - LOL. 


My friend has her birthday on 14th too so I made a card for her as well.


Then the last Scripture52 card for January. I used up lots of stash I thought I'd never use for this one.

Including the alcohol inked acetate which made the pocket and the hand made lace wrapped around the card. 

Loving this series and wondering what the printable for February will be like now...

Happy WOYWW Everyone.
