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 #200 - New Craft Group

My desk Tuesday evening before I went along to a new craft group. Blank coasters for the mosaic we'd be doing and a scrap page to stick down in between times.

Also my long awaited prize from my Timmy Tag win back in January. Adore the little locket album.

There's also my April page for the 12 Months in View Challenge and the remains of paint which I have sploshed on my April page in my zine. I even made the raindrop stamp!

To the back is my Good Friday page in my Round Robin Journal. Oh and my Easter Matchbox. The tag seems to be one I keep adding to, it was around last week too. Oh and if you really want to see my garden this month, have a look HERE.

Anyway here's my mosaic with real glass tiles, something I had never done before. My hubby has already fashioned me with some grout to finish it off tomorrow when it is dry.










Here's the page I stuck down too. When our son was presented with his Scout Gold Award by the Deputy Lord Lieutenant back in November 2012.

Had a nice time at the group and finally met up with Helen - hurrah!


Aarrhh forgot to mention where to get your WOYWW fix and more information as to what it is all about. Check out Julia's pad.

I saw the tile mosiac on Helens desk earlier. It really is good finally meeting up with people you have known on the net for awhile.

You have a stunning garden and I love birdbaths.

Really like look of tile modaic BJ. You certainly have lots going on. My craft group met for the last time last Sat. The owner could no longer keep her business going. :-( She might start the class up elsewhere - I've not decided what I will do yet. Anne x #50

Elizabeth said...

Hi BJ, love your scrap layout - the papers and embellishments are perfect for the occasion. I've checked out the completed mosaic and it is fab - not sure I'd have the patience for that though. Also had a look at your garden and I like your new addition - the birdbath. Have a wonderful weekend, Elizabeth x #95 (trailing on behind as usual)

Oh love the tag and the doodled and paint book pages. Like the colors you've used in your mosaic. Since I'm late I get to see the amazingly tiny drum set! Still desk hopping am I. :) Happy WOYWW! Nan #19
