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.

Summer of Colour #1 - Rainbow Sherbet


Decided to join in the fun at Summer of Colour this year. I don't often get the chance to use such vibrant colours so really enjoyed making this ATC.

Hi Sweetie - just heading over to explain mail art, basically art that is created with the sole intention of sending it through the mailing system to a recipient, yes sometimes it gets battered and bruised but when it's received its a delight when compared to the usual brown lettered bills that we get. Mail art really can brighten your day, I've recently been in exchange on a mail art swap and it's such fun to receive and to send. In this instance no envelopes just postcards which often leave Mr or Mrs Postie smiling as well! Drop me another comment with your address - I won't post your comment but I will send you a piece of mail art to see what you think! Hugs

Annie Claxton said...

Hi BJ, gorgeous, vibrant ATC - love it. And I think I may have a go at this challenge too - it looks like fun. Better get my skates on then, I only have until noon today!

Unknown said...
