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 #193 - Colourful

Hi all you WOYWWers out there and all newbies and all passers by. Here's my little desk today. Been busy with my A to Z of Me Challenge Journal. It is a daily challenge throughout February, so keeping me on my toes somewhat.

I also managed to fit in my February Timmy Tag at the weekend and the pink tag is one I just received in a SWAP, isn't it gorgeous?

The foil tray still has the salt I used for one of the daily challenges which I was so taken by, I did the journal page similar and also this sympathy card.

As you can also see my little matchbox is still pending but not required for a SWAP until next month. Still have to make my hubby an anniversary card for the end of this month and do a scrapppage for UKPC too. Ho Hum.

Happy WOYWW everyone and please leave your number so I can get visit your desk more easily. Tend to skip over those who forget if I am pushed for time.

An a to z journal is such a great idea, and your pages are wonderful, so bright and cheery. Your sympathy card is lovely too, just a shame we ever have to make such a card.
