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.

WOYWW #205 - STUFF!

Well we have a before and after Craft Club desk for your delectation today.

My BEFORE desk has some cards I have made (one for a swap) based on a sketch. In the process of making a mini book with CD covers, using a Kaiser Craft pad.The tags and pockets for my round-up of Spring in my 12 Months Journal which is open at the May calendar page. Been having a Bluebell frenzy this week and my Garden photos are all on previous posts.

As for my AFTER desk. The organiser of the craft club was getting rid of stuff so I just had to acquire some of it. So I have lots of paper flowers and diecuts, some card blanks, a few flower fairy sheets and a roll of mesh stuff. I got a stencil from Helen too - thanks Helen! Love your journals.

I think that is quite enough STUFF for now don't you?


Anyway the class was on decopatch, I missed most of the paper selection as I was looking at the STUFF! I just had to have blue for my "BJ" so I took the last ones available and would you know they were the same design to the "G" I received in a SWAP but in a different colour - excellent.

I have popped some of the flowers I acquired on top as potential decoration when I finish glueing the outside of them. Probably will add the little turquoise flowers to my "G" to bring them together too.

I did make my Timmy May Tag this week aswell.

So that is me in a frenzy of colour and STUFF this week. Pop over to Julia's pad to have your world opened to loads more WOYWW desks in various states of  creativeness.

Oh and I have run out of the ATG acid free refills and 3M don't seem to have any in stock HELP!

G'day BJ
I usually don't get around for WOYWW till Friday as when Julia posts the link I am at work in the evening here in Oz. My day off isn't till Friday then but I'm home sick all this week so here I am just one day late (I couldn't type yesterday due to sore hands and why I am home!!). AAHHH you are the BJ in Helen's post LOL...I see another Mosaic too there on your desk. Love the colours you have used in yr Tim H tag for May and congrats on the scored items...wish someone would chuck out their stash for me to score some LOL
