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.

Cycling Squash Monster Roof

Interesting title! Just my next scrapbook pages.

First my husband doing the Palace to Palace cycling challenge. Buckingham Palace  to Windsor Castle in aid of The Prince's Trust back in September last year.

I used an alphabet which was gifted to me for my birthday along with a squash book.


Secondly my son's monster slippers.

They had somewhat given up the ghost with lots of holes in the soles.

So we photoed them before they found their way to the bin!







Finally my husband repairing the roof of his workshop. It had started to leak so he gave it a thorough overhaul.

After removing all the vegetation which had taken root on it he vacuumed all the bits up, so funny!

Glad to report that despite an incredibly wet Winter it has stayed waterproof, excellent!

Not so shiny now though.

Where Did February Go?

Been knocked sideways by illness this month so far. Came down with Flu on 1st which ended up as Bronchitis which is slowly dissipating but is not all gone yet.

I have managed a few scrap book pages.

Here's when my son met his girlfriend for the first time up in Cumbria last Summer.


My Grow Wild seeds flowering, and a few of my hubbies exploits.







Some Fairground shots and my son's first day at 6th Form College last September inspired by some mirror embellishments.













An 80th Birthday card for my Aunt and Valentine for my Hubby.



Oh and a little game for preschoolers. Not that I have been well enough to work for a few weeks, hoping to be back at it all soon though.
