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 Junk Journaling too. Previously I've also dabbled in ATCs, Tags, Altered Books, Mixed Media, Art Journaling, 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, but am plagued by a bad back. I like walking which I couple with Geocaching and sometimes Bouncing on my Rebounder (mini trampoline). I guess I am officially retired now. I am a born again Christian, currently worshiping at my local Vineyard Church.

WOYWW #582 - FIRST - Proud Mum

It's safe to say that my desk hasn't changed from a fortnight ago!

Last week I was waiting for my son's degree results on the Thursday so was totally preoccupied. I even BOUGHT him a card!



So proud, he got a First in Computer Science at Southampton University.

Have since found out my friend's son also got a FIRST so I actually made him a card!











Oh and I saw this rainbow picture on my walk this week. Get annoyed at the number of rainbows with only 6 colours, this one certainly addressed the balance!

Happy WOYWW Everyone.

WOYWW #580 - Spot the difference...

Desk is totally uninspiring so I included my shelves this week.

How things seem to pan out is I do my blog each week and it gets me scrapping for a few days then is fizzles out until I blog again so I guess I have WOYWW to thank for my mojo these days.

Did 4 LOs last week nearly rounding up 2018 in the process.

A friend's Baptism and me with the kids at church. I've not been able to help with the kids for over a year now due to my shoulder issue.

A mishmash of various stuff up to Christmas and some friends round for dinner afterwards.








Then there's my son's 20th birthday. I was SO not happy with the layout as I fixed the photos intending to put the balloons all around but when that didn't work and they ended up on the side the photos were too high on the page. I ended up cutting up the original page and remounting it all on another 12x12 sheet. What a pickle and it hardly looks moved at all!!

   

And finally the jigsaw update - I finished the balloons and started the butterflies, really glad the latter is only 500 pieces LOL. I did the design first on my tablet, so electronically, and had to get the actual puzzle last year. It is quite a challenge.

 

Happy WOYWW Everyone.

WOYWW #579 - Mrs Neat

I guess I am Mrs Neat, I craft and then I put it all away, well it is the corner of my bedroom after all...

Got my photos delivered all 130 of them from Dec 2018 up to May 2019.
    

I noticed I needed to add a couple of garden flowers to a little CD book I made back in 2013 so I did that this week. The Snakes Head Fritillary pages are the new ones. Only get two popping up each spring, and they always surprise and delight me.

I did a couple of the Christmas 2018 pages, I was an interesting time as my husband had an operation early December, which saved us going to visit anyone as I hate travelling and staying away from home especially at Christmas.
 
I finished my jigsaw and started on redoing one from last year, but I guess that's all for me for this week.
Happy WOYWW Everyone.

WOYWW #578 - When I'm 64

Not much doing this week except hubby's birthday card for Thursday.

Had a sort of rainbow moment.




Thanks for all the "missing pieces" jigsaw suggestions last week, might make some Christmas snowflake decorations, who knows, certainly won't take incomplete ones back to the charity shops despite getting them from there!



And I've been re-doing the jigsaw my son got me last Christmas.



I guess that is it for me then.


Happy WOYWW Everyone
