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 #437 - I've Scrapped!

Don't faint, I have been absent for a couple of weeks as I really wanted to do some crafting before I joined in again, so yesterday I scrapped for the first time since the beginning of August.
As you can see I take over my bed in the process...











Still Scrapping December 2016, so that makes me 10 months behind, so I will probably have to be extra careful which photos I choose to scrap for a while now....

Happy WOYWW Everyone

Sounds like me, behind with my diary so many times. I end up looking on the calendar to see if anything happened on that day lol.
You enjoy your photos, I so enjoyed getting actual photos when I did a workshop with Seth the other week. Might print more when I get home.
You are in good company with Julia who has also spread out, but not on her bed.

Thought the bed was just a posh desk!!! Hope you feel up to crafting a bit more now that mojo's back in town.

I love your scrapbooking-spread! I'm looking forward to doing something similar soon... I am visiting a craft-fair this weekend and plan on buying a new scrapbook-album and create a layout every now and then... it's been too long and I have such lovely photos of my grown-up son (you saw that in my blogpost) - it's a pity I stopped scrapbooking a few year ago so I want to pick that up again for memory-keeping. Thanx for stopping by my blog. Hug from Holland, Marit #18

Your layout looks great and 10 months behind is very good - I'm three years behind at the moment!
Have a great week and thanks so much for the visit to mine earlier.

Hi BJ, at least you are now less than a year behind, I never get into diaries/ scrapping, as I know what I'm like for keeping up. I'd be years behind. Have a lovely week, Hugs, Shaz #1 XxXx

I'm impressed with the fact that you're actually doing something with photos - all ours seem to languish in the computer. I like the way you're taking over the bedroom with crafting too, lol!! It'll be the whole house before long :-D

Happy to see you! I haven't scrapped since February, and I dont scrap in any chronological order at all....so am super impressed by your methods! Nice collection of dies there!

Fun photos, Jenga is a fav with grands here. Glad to see you back in that cute crafty space. The papers I used for the wedding card are from The Paper Studio, our Hobby Lobby (.com)" Blanc Boutique" Pearl Finish pack. 10 designs and I do hoard it ~! Enjoy a great week.

Shoshi said...

I'm a perpetual behind-and-trying-to-catch-up person, BJ so I know how you feel! At least you are making progress! Thanks for your visit - so glad you like my cards. Close up, the finish isn't that great...

Happy WOYWW,

BJ, Glad you have been scrapping. I still have loads of photos that need putting into LOs, but just not in the mood.

Thanks for stopping by my blog.

Lindart said...

Only 10 months behind? LOL! Your'e doing better than I am! I really must get to it myself! Lovely layouts! Thanks for sharing, have a great week! Lindart #34

Stacy Sheldon said...

that must be so handy to have the room to spread out with the bed in there. I had a good chuckle over that only 10 months ago photos...

hmmm, the last time I scrapped was before I was digital... so, you can imagine how many shots I have taken since 2004? lol... I have framed a few but, really I don't print my pictures very often anymore.

Hi BJ, at least you actually scrap. I still have the empty albums that I bought to complete for my two (at the time) sons for their 18th birthdays. Their baby brother turned 18 yesterday lol. One day maybe. Love your layout. Sarah #24
