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 #356 - Bird Die

Gosh second week in a row.

I spurred on another lapsed desker last week, who in turn has spurred me on this week.

Thanks Cindy.

From last week's freebie peacock die I made some more peacock cards.



I made some Anniversary cards too, I used toppers I had bought yonks ago.

They are all ready to post.



Also made a few Easter cards for next year so I can breath a sigh of relief like I did this year when I found some already made in my card box!

Then I got out my new number dies and made a couple of little girl's cards as well.




All set up for the next few months in the card department now.

To join in the WOYWW desk hopping go to Julia's Page.

Hello BJ. So lovely to come across you here today. I hardly managed to visit anyone last week, so missed you - sorry! Life has been a bit manic here over the past few months, so haven't always managed to get here.
You have done SO brilliantly with all those cards - well set up now for several months, I should think! They look just great.
Take care. God bless.

Well BJ you are certainly giving me a run for money - maybe we'll have to have a marathon challenge one week (but not next weekend I can't keep up the volume lol). Thanks for visiting! Happy WOYWW Cindy #27

Hi BJ, Love those cards, especially the big number ones, you are certainly getting value out of them.
Also the peacock die from the magazine, I keep looking at it and thinking 'I ought to be using it' and not getting round to it, but your are simple and fab, I might have to borrow your idea.

Such pretty peacocks and you have made them up into lovely cards. Isn't interesting how other crafters can get us going when we need a little push. PJ #54

Lovely to see you BJ and how industrious you've been. I had to smile at your Easter cards. I've made a batch too ready for next year. Funny how I can be organised for Easter but not Christmas...what's that all about!!!

great idea to make the easter cards now already for next year, should do that too, because I'm always too late. Your peacock cards look awesome. Happy WOYWW Vicky#8
