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, DΓ©copatch, 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 #703 - Gone Mini & Praying for Ukraine

Desk just before I go dancing (Ballroom/Latin) Tuesday night as tomorrow is my shopping week/day!

There is a list of the photos to print so far from February to August (231) Think I might need to slim that down somewhat! 

My Praying for Ukraine page in my Journal. The elements were from a free printable (some things in the shop are $0 some on sale for $0 you need to look through them).

The village stencil wasn't planned, nor the barbed wire but I thought they both gave a thought to what the people of Ukraine are going through.


Loving my mini journal. 

Decided to make it a little book of affirmations of "Who I am in Christ"

Did the first page from a live video on Facebook.

"I Am a Child of God"

For the second page I literally dusted off my Dyan Reaveley Spray Inks.

Forgot how strong they were so they bled through to the first page!

Still have enormous problems with white pens, tried two different ones. Oh MY!

"I Am Forgiven"


Hadn't liked my writing on the first page so after the bleed through I decided to cover it up.




Sorted

For the last page I used one of the Ukraine elements...

"I Will Not Be Forsaken"

Finished my post after dancing!

Happy WOYWW Everyone.

Lovely pages and thought provoking too. My brother has had three Ukrainians staying with him since April and it doesn’t look like they’re going back any time soon. They thought they’d be home for Christmas but I don’t think it’s working out that way.

Hi BJ, your journal pages are all beautiful. I've tried to keep a journal but I keep going back to my scrap pages instead. Maybe one day. Delighted to see you're back at your dancing classes again. Have a lovely week. Elizabeth x #19

These pages are just gorgerous, so much colour. I have tried several times to start a journal but I keep getting distracted with other things, maybe sometime! Happy creative woyww, Angela x12x
