Oh The Craft Barn is weaning me in oh so gently with their Alpha Challenge letters. I have chosen the theme of "Special Days" and so far have had "V" for Valentine and "C" for Christmas and now "E" for Easter!
My small dictionary didn't have any E's left so I had to tear a page out of my other "craft" specific dictionary. Nice that my word was on the first page though, so I could show the "E" off.
I highlighted the word "earnest" too, it was my father's middle name (spelt Ernest) and it is a good character trait to have methinks, my father certainly lived up to it.
About Me
- BJ
- 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.

Fabulous vivid pages...and great choices of words...(I also added Easter to my alpha challenge) Jan x
Lovely page BJ. I am intrigued at what you are going to choose for some of the letters. I have done an alphabet of celebration so just give me a shout if you are stuck my lovely!
Thank you so much for joining in again xxx
A beauty of a page. Love your story of how it came about. The addition of a bonus word with meaning blends quite well with your primary word, Easter.
What a fabulous page, I love those swirls and how you have used your Fathers name xx
Great Easter page so vibrant.

Great page and I love that flourish.
BJ, another great page and lovely to see you carrying your theme through your dictionary!
you're sure you are going to find a special day for each letter of the alphabet ? lol.
Easter is the perfect choice here, and not "far off" on the calendar.
Thanks for playing with us at the Craft Barn
