About Me

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 (currently a year behind!), plus any cards as required. As my Carpal Tunnel allows I am getting into yarn/fabric crafts with slow stitching and needle felting added to my list. I continue with my love of Watercolour and Bible Journaling plus Faith/Art Journaling with acrylics and inks. I completed my challenge to make an art journal page a day for my 60th year in 2024. My list of crafty exploits includes ATCs, Tags, Altered Books, Mixed Media, Décopatch, Knitting, Crochet, and Embroidery. 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. 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 Evangelical Church.

WOYWW #849 - Blessed

No fainting but another desk "in action" this week. Doing some fussy cutting for the conference next month. Can't do much in one go due to hand going numb though - good job I have 5 weeks.

I repurposed an old blue file folder and put the Blessed Conference ticket on there. The session I am cutting is From Lynn Gobler on the JOTW face book group that I have been following since the last conference. Super printable.

I did her bonus page last week, there was a printable of the girl and I followed her process video on the group too, super cute.

I stuck her on the inside cover of my current journal which only has a few sides left. 

I bought a new journal which was cellophane sealed and was disappointed to find each page is perforated! Not amused! So am wet gluing paper strips down each one in case they decide to bend and/or tear.

Plus side is that it has a bigger spiral spine though, my last one is getting difficult to turn the pages in now.

So I have at last done the journal page I prepped a few weeks ago.... I was looking at the prompts for a September challenge and then did something completely different.

I'd seen a bee image I liked and have been doing the Bee Blessed study on the Beatitudes in my writing journal and now the conference on the same scripture too. My alpha stamp was just the right width for the words in one go.

For the record last week's scripture - Matthew 5:8 Blessed are the pure in heart for they will see God.

Happy WOYWW Everyone.

Oh and I managed to get a couple of wide fitting shoes/boots last week so I was WELL pleased. Had gone to Harrow last month only to find my local high street had a stockist! See previous post here for details and photos.

Funny how we all are so critical of our own work, yet so happy to praise others lol! Love the fussy cuts, so pretty. Was it you who offered the pretty pastel watercolour elements once? They remind me of those. I love the chaos of that last page, btw. So much to hone in on! Happy WOYWW!

The bee page is lovely, so much to look at. It’s a good job you’ve got five weeks to prep, slow and steady with the fussy cutting is the way! And hooray for finding shoes locally, that’s a real win!!

My new book has perforated pages too, I didn’t think of it as being a problem. You could always run masking tape along the strip, I have seen tutorials where they do that. I am sorry your hands are still playing you up. I did wonder about using just the heads of those flowers and drawing the stem. Hugs Angela #10

Lots of things to look at on your page, but must say I love the Bee. Hate buying items that are packaged up and you can´t see the goods properly. Enjoy your week and dont work too hard!
