Desk is clear again as usual and bed set up with cloth and a piece of hard board for more space when I'm creating...
I finished off April's journal with a page recounting our lovely sunny day geocaching in Godstone last week.
I was pondering my May journal and came across #MessyMay2024 a stroke of luck so I can follow along to their videos each day this month, just like JunkJournalJanuary.
Here are my first 6 pages with the following prompts:-
02:nourish - what nourishes me - my Faith in Jesus - John 15:5
03:enchanted - with the dragon fantasy picture from Gecko Galz last month.
04:blooming - using the RHS May magazine envelope picture of Wisteria and filled in painting.
05:marks - amazing process video - worth signing up just to watch this one
06:backgrounds - with inks using old calendar pictures and left over bling from my May page below.
Both focused on shiny stuff, first on metallics (I used copper foil tape and Easter egg foil wrap) and the second on bling (I used my gems) Both have stickles and liquid pearls too.
I used my metal roller mark making tools on the copper tape, not used them in years!!! Plus my 2 new circle punches.
All very sparkly, just how I like it.
Nest Fest starts today! It is 2 weeks of daily focusing on particular techniques or stash. Hoping I can combine it with Messy May in my daily journal, we'll see...
Encounters in Colour starts next week! A week long online Christian Art Retreat. I will be doing mine in my Faith Journal. All content available to the end of May. Great Facebook group too, not sure how long that will remain though.
WOYWW 15th Anniversary next week too - managed to make 12 ATC's so far in 3 groups of 4 so if anyone would like to SWAP or just have one (I don't mind either way) let me know and send me your address. My email should be in my blog profile. First come first served after my SWAP partner and Julia of course.
Phew - is that it - Hope so.
Lying down in a dark room will be required soon methinks.
Happy WOYWW everyone.

You always impress me how conscientious you are with the journals, well done. I'll swap with you but are you coming to the Crop in which case I have one for you anyway. Let me know and then I'll get back to you. Happy woyww, Angela x12x
You've been very busy. You put me to shame. Love that pic of you as a hippy ... gorgeous! Have a great week. Elizabeth x #9
Good grief you HAVE been busy in your creativity! I almost signed up for Messy May but after seeing this post I'm going to do just that. Enjoy the sunshine finally, Lisa-Jane #10
You must be a fast artist as you produce so much and yet it is all well thought out, especially when there is a theme to be met. I so enjoy seeing your artwork and am always amazed at how much you produce. Nest Fest sounds my type of thing but am too busy/slow to do it. Ah well.
Take care, Hugs, Neet 8 xx

Well B-J your creativity is flying! You find so many interesting things to do and then do them really well. I would love to swap with you, I'm guessing you won't be at the crop? Have a great week, love n hugs Cindyxx #11
All great projects, I am way behind on the free courses apart from the inchies. My daughter in law is doing the house painting, apparently she likes decorating. Happy WOYWW. Angela #13
Will have to take a look at Messy May - super pages you have made...

Wow you have been busy, fantastic projects and so much creativity.Loving the pages using the image of you as a hippy and your butterflies, great inspiration and you've even made birthday cards too! lots of interesting elements too used Have a great weekend - Michelle #2
Nothing much in Nest Fest for me so far. I just watched the stencilling one. I have only done two of Get Messy so far. I quite enjoyed the inchie one. I think I am going to cancel Faith Inspirations, I have idea I paid for the year so need to check on that. I have been inundated with them trying to get me signed up for Momentum. It has put me off. Health wise I have been very tired, I found church on both Sundays to be so uplifting. Enjoying my Scripture writing too. I have been working on my collages. “See you” Wednesday . Angela x
