WOYWW #461 - Scrapped & Tree

Well it was nearly light enough at 6.21am this morning, when I was greeted by a Waning Gibbous Moon on opening the curtains, always makes me smile, love the moon.

On to my desk is an Asda receipt awaiting the Price Guarantee Check. A note of how to put music onto my cloud.

My "NEXT" scrapbook LOs pending.

YES, Hallelujah, I scrapped over the Easter Weekend, not as much as I'd hoped but something all the same.

Here are the pages I completed.





1)  Some photos of our house and garden last April/May. I used my new alphabet (Zelda) acquired from Julia's sale, for the first time.

2) A page to recall my struggle with Varifocals before I settled on the Bifocals, which are brilliant I have to say.









3) And a page of where I placed a geocache last year having been given permission from the Vicar of the church plus a random car covered in GRASS.




Last but not least my
Easter Tree
all decorated.

Happy WOYWW Everyone.

WOYWW #452 - Hat and Photo

I actually made the 270 mile round trip to my Uncle's Funeral in Birmingham (I live in Surrey) so on my desk is my funeral hat (was bought for a wedding originally but has been to numerous funerals since) and the photo my cousin produced of me aged 5yrs in 1969. Also a quickly drawn family tree, so nice to meet up with family again.

  

I received my ATC SWAP from another desker Cindy and she enclosed a spare WOYWW5 ATC too - LOL. Double Delight.

I made a second ATC SWAP as "fairy" for one member who was unable to do one this month. I also made the cat card.

 


Oh and a couple of scrapbook pages. One to end my 13th album and the other to start my 14th.

Happy WOYWW Everyone.

  PS It is a Blue Moon today.

WOYWW #451 - Colour Theme!

I think my desk became a bit of a dumping ground.
Popped back to Sainsbury's yesterday to pick up a couple more crop tops.

Tried on some clothes for my uncles funeral next week but only ended up with the rather bright t-shirt!



What with that, my new Lime Green phone case and my new Pink heat gun, things are definitely getting a colour theme!

I have started to populate my new die folder. The cross and dove are new and the latter was just the ticket for the 2 baptism cards I made for last Sunday.

I made the zip charm from the metal die we got in one of the Christmas crackers and a few beads.


Finally I got the "With Sympathy" word die and at the same time "Celebrate", an interesting combination. However a funeral is a way of celebrating a life here on earth before they go to glory in heaven with our maker so not such a strange combination really.

Finally the scrapbook page is stuck and is of our church weekend last April.

Just one thing to get sorted is the flattened fabric flower on my hat for the funeral. Had it handing in the bathroom with a clip holding the petals the right way and I think that might have done the trick. Of course a spot of silicone might help too.

Happy WOYWW Everyone.

WOYWW #450 - Crafting and Heat Tools

So here we are again. Desk is pretty much back to  "normal" tidyness this morning.

The "next" scrappage awaiting sticking, the new "bra top" or crop top which I tried at badminton last night. Not worn a bra in about 5 years so as this looked fairly comfortable I gave it a go. Not bad too.


But I HAVE been crafting this week and took photos to prove it. So here is my desk last Sunday.






I made a Sympathy Card on Mum's birthday as Uncle passed away that day too.

I started scrapping on Saturday and completed 3 pages.

 




I came to make my SWAP ATC on the theme of "January" then my "Heat it Up" heat gun died mid-embossing.





I tried my Ranger Heat Tool but that only came on with heat but no fan and started to smoke so I switched it off PDQ.

Hubby looked at both and consigned the Ranger one to the bin.

He fixed the switch on the Blue one only after ordering a replacement switch and me ordering a NEW PINK one!



So I got to finish my SWAP ATC before my new PINK arrival and have a scrappage ready and waiting.

Happy WOYWW Everyone

WOYWW #444 - Bills, Scrapping, and Christmas

Still no Christmas crafting, just a few bills to pay and the glasses adorn my desk...



I did do some scrapping of some March photos which have been sitting pending on my desk for weeks!





And here's the Birthday Card I can now show you all.




So for my Christmas contributuion, I now have a tree and have decorated the house too.

Happy WOYWW Everyone.

PS This is rather late as I slept in somewhat, then had to race to get up and ready for Harp lesson, then a neighbour came round about cars and learner driver insurance advice, then I needed to take son's car on weekly run about, after a quick lunch, then neighbour came round to try son's car........ need I say more!

WOYWW #441 - MRI & March Scrapping

The scrapping continues although not that much as I've had a nasty cold this past week.
Sorry for not replying to most of you last week, only just coming out of the haze, will try better this week.

I've started March and was determined to use the "March" paper I was gifted a few weeks ago.










Did a bit of jiggery pokery with the photos, date wise, to get some meaning to the pages. First one is of a couple of geocaching days. Second one is various facets of the garden throughout March. More geocaching adventures are lined up to do next.

Had a crafty visitor in the week and she gave me the die cuts.

Also I had my MRI on Monday (postponed from Friday as I was just too poorly then). I should have the results by next week, here are a couple of the images from the CD they gave me. Scary eh!

Happy WOYWW Everyone.

WOYWW #440 - Magazine, Sprouts & Curtains.

Here's my desk today sporting a magazine with Penguin die freebie I just had to have plus the card I made using them.

In the foreground is the scan of my toes. The doctor concentrated on where I had the pain and counted out the small neuroma which is elsewhere but couldn't identify the actual problem so I might need an MRI.

This is the Sparkle SWAP card I was making last week, and the facing page to my birthday one to finish off February.

My desk on Saturday produced my lost SPROUTS. Well the wrappers from the chocolate sprouts I'd got my son for last Christmas. Couldn't fit them on that page now so made a tag to fit behind the page.

         

Oh and my desk on Monday was a completely different matter altogether.... 

The day started in brilliant sunshine and ended with the lining replaced in my husband's curtains. 

So a varied week on my desk. Next scrap page photos are out as usual and will get done anon. I have a horrid cold so crafting will be the best thing for me today so I can rest a bit.

Happy WOYWW Everyone.
