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.

Q&L #04 - AGE

OK, so I have been doing Lyrics so far for the Q&L challenge over at the Craft Barn but how could I resist this quote from Victor Hugo?

Forty is the old AGE of youth
Fifty the youth of old AGE

Had a play with paints again which is most unusual for me. I used a purple biro instead of my black pens this time and that seems to have worked better - for the pens anyway.




Caught up with the last 3 Psalms earlier today too. Now I see them together they have remarkably similar colours despite one being paints and the other sprays. Curious, it wasn't intentional but seems to fit in with the Journal 52 prompt this week of  "Colour Inspiration".
