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 #814 - Black Skirt

Unusual desk scene, I actually have my sewing machine out and am altering some baggy black trousers (which I bought back in the Summer!) into a skirt. I have wanted a black skirt for ages and the shops don't seem to be obliging...

I have a childhood memory of this transformation being the "thing - back in the day" with denim, although I didn't flatten out the crotch, I just sewed it straight.

Other things this week are the last She Sketches Scripture pages. Really loved this series and it even got me to do the Jonathan page which has been pending for ages.

Day 30 : Forgiven to Forgive

Day 29 : HE Makes a WAY (Grace)

Day 28 : Rejoice Always

Day 27 : Not Alone

Day 31 : Big Prayers

Day 32 : She Believed GOD

Day 33 : No Falling Here

Jonathan and the Stone of Ezel.

I did my One little Word page at the start of my new Faith Journal. I have settled on Surrender.

I did the facing page with a few other words/flowers from the printable, covering the pigs nicely!

Last but not least are the samples I have done for our church's prayer week and the Bible Journaling table. It is based on the verse of the year John 12.26.

I seem to be struggling with a lot at the moment, all little things like the gas main and our road closed for 7 weeks, the cold, health stuff, and being anxious about going out anywhere. Hoping for a brighter tomorrow.

Happy WOYWW Everyone.

WOYWW #813 - Happy New Year



Happy New Year Everyone.


I DID IT!

YES, I did a journal page a day for 2024 and have 12 little journals to show for it. Whoop Whoop!

I even filled a whole Faith Journal last year too. (back left) The previous one took 10 years!

The Blue Journal on my desk (right) is for this year.

I'm still managing to do my Bible watercolours in the only 2 journaling Bibles I have. (front left).


Not sure I have perfected or decided on the best journal construction for me yet though?


Here's the last 8 pages


Did yesterday's in a haze of headache but thankfully hubby made me some dinner which helped.

I finished off my advent word journal last week too.

Day 25 : Fruit plus the back cover.


Also the Advent Bible watercolour series over at Devotion in Action

I also did a few more watercolour pages with She Sketches Scripture. 

There are 7 left to finish her challenge, which I must aim to do by 5th when the free subscription ends.


Happy WOYWW 2025 Everyone
