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 #693 - Rest in Peace Your Majesty

Another week and yet again what a week! 

I have spent most of the week glued to the TV watching all the ceremony that goes with the passing of our sovereign Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and the ascension of our new King, Charles III.

Jolly good job the new sofas and chair actually got delivered last Friday after all.

This morning sees our old sofas being collected and transported to our son in Cambridge so very nearly back to the new norm and the second door rehung!

Was beginning to feel like a cinema in our front room!

On seeing our new King's first address to the nation, the photograph he had by his side of his mother reminded me of a LO I made some years ago, June 2009 to be precise. Just loved this photo.


2012 with the Diamond Jubilee I produced a plethora of items that I would like to share as my tribute to her majesty's lifelong service to our country.

A scrapbook layout

A double page in my one and only Altered Book

A mini tag book

And a tag in my year book.





Rest in Peace Your Majesty

Happy WOYWW Everyone

I can well imagine you making your tributes to Her Majesty with the te4ars rolling down your face and plopping on the work you were doing. Yes, a very sad time for us all, she was an inspiration to us all.
Hugs, Neet xx

Hi BJ, thanks for the lovely comment. I have to admit that I'm late getting round everyone today because we've been to the seaside for a day out, first time since Covid started so it made a lovely change and as hubby said let's go who was I to turn it down. Also we have a new puppy so it was her first time to see the sea. Pleased the new furniture arrived just at the right time. Wishing you a very happy and creative woyww, Angela x12x
