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 #712 - Into May 2022 Scrapping

It the vain attempt to make my desk look a bit more interesting I took the shot at arms length as high as I could, and I'm only small.

Next May photos awaiting attention and some harp music printed too small, plus notes on other harp music. 

Occupational glasses with the ribbon to distinguish them from my day to day bifocals. I have got downstairs in the occupational ones before now and wondered why I couldn't see properly!

I've added some decoration to the top of my thankfulness jar.

I've done my April 2022 scrapping when I got my first hearing aids, and other new stuff that month too, including my new computer.

I've started on May with a geocaching circuit done over 7 weeks from the middle of March to May day. It went from ankle high mud to bone dry in 5 weeks!

I did my Scripture 52 card for the week too.

Used up some old sprayed papers I had kept.

The reading application is nearly processed now, DBS cleared and referees submitted just waiting for them to show me what to do next. 

However we have been trying to upgrade our broadband to full fibre with BT and it's got into a pickle so might have to wait till that is up and running and stable before I dive in and book my school sessions. 

Their App doesn't give me the option of booking yet, so still pending anyways. 

In the meantime Hubby got us a Janet and John book which we both learnt to read with, I blogged it earlier this week.

Happy WOYWW Everyone.

Some great crafting on your desk this week! The treasures jar made me think of the opening titles of Trumpton (or was it Camerwick Green) where something similar used to open up and a character rose out. Sorry am wittering, blame it on age lol!

Great layouts. I was quite upset when I found out I needed hearing aids. I didn’t realise how much I couldn’t hear till I had them. Happy WOYWW. Angela #12
