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 #813 - Happy New Year



Happy New Year Everyone.


I DID IT!

YES, I did a journal page a day for 2024 and have 12 little journals to show for it. Whoop Whoop!

I even filled a whole Faith Journal last year too. (back left) The previous one took 10 years!

The Blue Journal on my desk (right) is for this year.

I'm still managing to do my Bible watercolours in the only 2 journaling Bibles I have. (front left).


Not sure I have perfected or decided on the best journal construction for me yet though?


Here's the last 8 pages


Did yesterday's in a haze of headache but thankfully hubby made me some dinner which helped.

I finished off my advent word journal last week too.

Day 25 : Fruit plus the back cover.


Also the Advent Bible watercolour series over at Devotion in Action

I also did a few more watercolour pages with She Sketches Scripture. 

There are 7 left to finish her challenge, which I must aim to do by 5th when the free subscription ends.


Happy WOYWW 2025 Everyone

I have really enjoyed the She Sketches Scripture challenge so far. There is no way I will be able to finish by the 5th January so I will take some screenshots of the last ones so I can finish after it closes. You must work so hard to get all that done on a week. Fabulous pages. Happy New Year and happy WOYWW. Angela #8

Happy New Year BJ! You have been very busy! I like to choose my favourite, but it's hard...I like the hand made of flowers...but I really like the one with the heart in a cage! Have a wonderful happy and healthy 2025! Lindart #13
