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 #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.

Many happy returns, hope you have a lovely day. The music is lovely, it’s still playing as I type, such a crystal sound isn’t it. Pretty tune. It’s great that you’re keeping up w8th the cards and the journal, not easy when you’re so busy!

Happy Birthday!
Will play the harp piece later, must get on - impressed you play it. WOW!
Love all the artwork - my you have been busy.
The neck pillow - it is the Slumberland one that I got as recommended by the guy in the shop (Bensons for Beds - as recommended by the chiro). Not expensive either. I"ve had a normal Memory Foam at £84 previously and could not get on with it so was wary of how much it was going to cost but would have paid anything after the pain last week.I tried the pillows for ages and settled on this one which is the thinner of the two Slumberland ones they had. Good luck - do let me know if you try.
Hugs, Neet xx 2

A belated happy birthday BJ. I waited until we got back so I could listen properly to your wonderful music and it is a delight to listen to. It is so good to get back home. I have yet to to illustrate Psalm 2, so hoping to do that today.
The Christmas card from my sister is still on display as I didn’t get till early January and the decoration I made for my husband the Christmas before has been since then 🤣. I have just noticed it is raining and the washing is out 🙈. Have a great week. Angela #14
