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 #211 - Twinchies

Seem to have taken to twinchies since doing a set for a Swap a few months back.

Did the Bee one for a twinchie challenge blog and now have 2 for the first weeks of Summer of Colour 2013 as well.

Finally did my June Timmy Tag although not inspired by distress markers or any other markers for that matter!

Made the bowl and the journal page for the 12 Months in View Challenge.

Been taking some photos for the Summer time Scavenger Hunt too (check out previous post). So yes that is me for the 211th WOYWW mega desk hop hosted by Julia.

Love the twinchies! I think that's my next after ATCs...twinchies. They look like fun, such small little canvases. Cool bowl sitting in front. Happy WOYWW! Nan G #3

We appear to be a well rounded group - Nan and the twinchies, Jan and the journal, and me? I was immediately drawn to the tag which I love! Enjoy

Wow BJ, so many lovely things to see on your desk this week - that bowl is fabulous and I do love your twinchies, especially the seahorse and the bee. Most of all though I love your Timmy tag - just wonderful! Happy WOYWW, Hugs, Anne x #51

What a pretty bowl and I never heard of twinches until your post. Yours look great, so colourful. I seem to have the same number as Anne (!) but I'll put it down anyway. My number always seems to change. Have a lovely day and a great creative week! Julie Ann xxx#65

Inchies drove us mad but we haven't attempted twinchies. Love yours and the journal page.

I love your twinchies! The bee is just gorgeous - I have a thing for bees, and I love the gorgeous little accessories to match the dragonfly and seahorse - just delightful.

I did twinchies many years ago and loved them to bits, so much you can do with that little square. Have fun and show what you create, please.

Happy WOYWW

ria gall said...

you have some great stuff going on on that desk of yours this week. Love your twinchies I am so wanting to have a go at them but going from 8"x 8" to that is hard but I did manage some ATC's.
Can I ask what the problems were with the distress markers as I am thinking about buying the full set?
Have a great WOYWW and enjoy the rest of your week

Hi BJ,

Oh, I love the bee twinchie (or whatever you called it?). Also, LOVE the bowl. Do you mind sharing how you made it?

I'm not participating this week but thought I'd stop by and see what you've been up to. So glad I did!
Happy WOYWW

Hi BJ you have been busy! You are the second person to remind me I haven't done my June tag yet. I wont be using distress markers as I don't have any ;-) poor me I know ! Love that little map bow you have made. I am strangely drawn to maps. Happy WOYWW to you from Helen 78

Julia Dunnit said...

This sounds stupid, but the twinchies make more sense to me than the inchies...mind that could just be because I'm podgy fingered and a bit scared of small and delicate! Pretty tag, had to smile that it wasn't pen inspired!

scrappymo! said...

Wow BJ...You have so many finished projects on your desk. You always amaze me at how much you get finished...unlike procrastinator me! teehee

Love the tag and those twinchies.

voodoo vixen said...

I have never made twinchies... ATCs and inchies (inchies were a bit too small to do anything with) so maybe I should give them a go after seeing yours, the tag is my fav though, very nice indeed! Annette #9

Anna said...

Love the little twinchies they are so cute! I have a hard time working that small.
Love your June tag! I need to get on the ball and get mine done!

I didn't realize these SOCs were twinchies. Even that is too small for me. I like BIG (grin). Of course, I love those twinchies you have made. And I'm still LOVING that tag. Better than Timmy's really.

And because it's still Wednesday in my part of the world, have a super WOYWW from #17.
