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 #228 - More Christmas Cards

Hi everyone and welcome to my desk for WOYWW hosted by Julia over at the Stamping Ground or perhaps in SPAIN this week as the post seems to have been already posted!

Shock Horror!

Dare I post early too?

Having been to craft club I have racked up 9 more Christmas Cards this week plus 2 matching gift bags and tags. Go me!

I have done a few things for my 12 Months journal too and a couple of swaps as well.

Well there you go. More details on previous 3 posts if you are interested.

I really need to get going on Christmas too, especially as I have just got a gorgeous set of stamps from Barbara Gray and Clarity Stamps. Just need to find some room in which to work first. You have a lovely lot already completed. Well done. xx Maggie #4

I love those trees. I adore trees and these scream Christmas to me. Way to go with your cards and gift tags.

BTW, I was also planning my post when I saw Julia had posted. What a fun way to spend a Tuesday afternoon.

Congrats on being #1 from #7.

Congratulations on the number one spot! I didn't see this until 1.30 am when I was off to bed, exhausted, but I just had to comment. Well done! I love all your Christmas cards. I also love the card with the quotation, 'Knock and it shall be opened...' I am trying very hard to hold on to that promise right now as I seek help for my son! It really spoke to me! Good night for now. Julie Ann #45
