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 Junk Journaling too. Previously I've also dabbled in ATCs, Tags, Altered Books, Mixed Media, Art Journaling, 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, but am plagued by a bad back. I like walking which I couple with Geocaching and sometimes Bouncing on my Rebounder (mini trampoline). I guess I am officially retired now. I am a born again Christian, currently worshiping at my local Vineyard Church.

WOYWW #203 - Scrapping 2013

I scrap, then I tidy - that is just how it is. So here is my post tidy desk.

Scrapping was momentarily usurped by an addition to my 12Months journal and a sit in the warm sunshine (can't miss that as it is so rare in the UK!) but I managed to get it done before tea.


I have finally got into 2013 scrapping. I finished up my Christmas pages this week and they have been put in the album already.

 



The 2 on my desk are of a New Year's Day walk in the woods where a Sparrowhawk was spotted in the trees. Plus my hubby's last business trip to Germany over Valentine's and My Birthday!! Guess where he is again now?

There's a card I made using a scrapbook sketch and a freebie die from a magazine. Also a pack of twinchies for a SWAP, both can be seen on earlier posts if you are interested.

So all I need say now is join the fun called WOYWW over at Julia's Place - NOW! - go on you know you want to!

BJ, love your scrapbooking layouts! I do like the idea of doing a 365 book but I lose track and get muddled and give up lol. I really admire the people that keep it up as it is such a great memory book to share with loved ones. Thank you for showing and happy WOYWW.

Cardarian said...

You have done some lovely LO - you are very good as being in 2013 with your scrapbooking! It is really good that I am not a scrapbooker as I would probably be in year 2000! I am slow and have no order!
Thank you for sharing!
Lots of hugs,
Cardarian

Marit said...

Your desk looks indeed tidy... love the scrapbook layouts, especially the NY-walk page. And yessss... the sunshine got across the North Sea and we experienced a warm and sunny day here in Holland too... I, too, dropped everything to sit in the sun.

Tertia said...

You are way ahead of me, I scrapped DD3's Christmas dress from 1993 today, so you are practically caught up in my book.
Looks like you have been very productive, the LO's are fantastic.
Happy belated WOYWW!
