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 (currently a year behind!), plus any cards as required. As my Carpal Tunnel allows I am getting into yarn/fabric crafts with slow stitching and needle felting added to my list. I continue with my love of Watercolour and Bible Journaling plus Faith/Art Journaling with acrylics and inks. I completed my challenge to make an art journal page a day for my 60th year in 2024. My list of crafty exploits includes ATCs, Tags, Altered Books, Mixed Media, Décopatch, Knitting, Crochet, and Embroidery. 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. 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 Evangelical Church.

Seas of Red

I have just scrapped some of photos from our day out at The Tower of London last October.




A couple of photos are from the internet as I didn't have a helicopter or drone to get the aerial shot and we didn't actually make it to the Tower Bridge side either.

First we took photos of each other on the train from Tattenham Corner to London Bridge, then our walk along the Thames to the Tower.

The Shard is a big feature now, however we didn't realise it is built over London Bridge Station! I noticed this as we walked back as I spotted a sign and looked up! Shock horror we were right beneath it, so I told the lads to stop and look up too. They were just as amazed!

The poppies were a lovely sight to behold on such a sunny day too, loads of photos were taken so it was quite a job to select a few to scrap!

Finally a couple of snaps inside the Tower grounds. I used the tops of the tickets on this page and the bottom of one as well. What an exhausting day but well worth it. 

I wonder where our poppy was?

I shall never forget seeing all the poppies last year either BJ. They were incredibly moving and deserving of the lovely LO you did x
