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 #711 - Scrapbook Desk!

Desk - last night as journaling on a new LO and remembering to journal on the last ones. One other LO prepped and ready to stick too.

Last Wednesday evening I put together Cambridge - last Easter, visiting son, made whilst on a craft video call with craft mate.

Last Friday I did a journal page for My Little Word -  Presence.

Church did "New Year" calendars so I put my word on there too, and decorated when I got home.

Made Thankfulness Jars at church too, had been meaning to do one, so was well pleased.



Last Saturday I did my Scripture 52 card.

But my best news is being accepted as a Bookmark Reading Volunteer (on condition of DBS and references). I will be doing reading with primary school children online. Can't wait.


Happy WOYWW Everyone.

Great pages and cards. I wasn’t sure about the word Presence so I had another go at the quiz, taking a little bit time over it. The word I got was Freedom. I think I am going with both of them. Shall I email you with what I have come up with so far? Happy WOYWW. Angela #12

Well done on the reading volunteer role! You have been really busy again today - seems lots of us have the creative bug this week! Happy WOYWW Helen #1

Oh well done BJ, reading volunteering is so crucial, bet you’ll love it when it starts, be patient, for DBS checks seem to take an age. You’ve done really well with the LOs, I always think when Jan and I do a video con that she could probably crochet a whole blanket while we’re chatting. Hope you enjoy the doing of the thankfulness jar, our Kyla does one every year and it’s as much about the process of mindful thankfulness as it is about unrolling the papers and looking back I think.
