Another week of more harping than crafting but I did push myself to get last Summer's photos scrapped.I have done 4 pages and have 2 more lined up to stick. Only one more before I get to order some more prints.
I really ought to think before I order my prints as I always order too many and either cram them on a page or leave some out altogether.
I did buy some new Xcut dies last week, had been thinking of the egg for some time especially as Easter is round the corner but the paisley gave me ideas of that nature too. Hmm I wonder what...?
I finally received the DVD from the States to go with my Harp book. I am struggling a bit on the end of lesson 2 (English Country Garden) and lesson 3 uses TWO hands and I am all over the place with that! This could take some time!Think that is me for this week, pop over to Julia's for more desks across the globe in the infamous WOYWW.

Hi BJ you sure are enjoying your harp. Am certain you will master the end of lesson two. I have so many photos that need sorting. There is no way I'd ever scrap them now. Must at least try to get them in albums. Thanks for visit and. Omme ts re the tip in. Anne x #44
Well done with the harp - two hands is good! I teach piano and my adult learners complain at how it's like rubbing your head and patting your tummy at the same time, but they got there! Loads of practice is fab, you'll soon be whizzing through those tutor books :-)
Hugs, LLJ 39 xx
Good luck with your harp practise! And good for you catching up on your LO s. I used to scrapbook everyday but am months behind at the moment!
Have a happy week

Lots of great pages there to bring back good memories and fun times. I don't scrapbook but if I did I'm sure I'd order way too many prints too. I'm fond of excess like that. I'm impressed that you are trying to teach yourself the harp. That's just so cool.
Hi BJ should read -and comments re tip in. I am on my phone and working quickly :-)
Wow, BJ, what a week! Two hands on the harp - at the same time!! I am impressed! So soon, too. Sounds like you are really enjoying it - and that's great. Well done.
Those are lovely scrapbook pages - it's soooo long since I visited the Mumbles - first went there as a guide in...erm...1963. Ouch, that's a LONG time ago.
Take care, and have a good week.

I'm very impressed with the harp playing seeing as I always wanted to learn piano. Did you see the girl with the harp on a The Voice, or don't you watch rubbish like me :-)
Great scrap booking.
Short visit this week I'm afraid, very late today with the linking up.

You will get there with the harp, BJ. Beloved Hubby is learning to play Bass guitar at the moment, with Rocksmith, and he said his fingers keep falling over each other, lol. Have a great week, Hugs, Shaz #38 xxx
Practise makes perfect they say ... Keep going with the harp, pleased you have the DVD

When you've mastered English County Garden will you include a video on your Blog? I would love to hear you playing ... the sound of the harp is just wonderful.
have a good week and good luck with two handed harp playing.

Good for you for learning to play the harp. What a lovely instrument.
I haven't scrapbooked in nearly two years now. In fact, since the kids are grown & gone, I've stopped taking family pics at all, just so I won't feel like I have to Do something with them, lol.
Thank you for stopping by my blog and for the nice comments about my kaleidoscope cane.
Happy Woyww,

woo hoo! beautiful layouts! Love you desk looks so creative and busy this week. Great dies. I broke down and bought them last year. I am not a big person on seasonal dies cause they take up so much space but I am using them for none easter...cutting pictures with the big end and large flowers...fun stuff. Have a great week and thanks for stopping by my desk and leaving a comment. I love visitors. Vickie #43
Hi BJ, great pages, full of colour and lovely memories.... And yes I remember - the harp.. what can I say, what a wonderful challenge (I can't read a note, or sing one) Have fun in all spheres..cheers RobynO#38
I guess I never realized you didn't print your own photos from your computer. How naive of me. That's why I'm not a scrapbooker, I guess. But you have created some beautiful pages that will give you many memories in years to come.
How ironic. Just yesterday, I saw that paisley die being used as a shortcut for Trapunto sewing. If you're not sure what it is, it's the technique where you NORMALLY add layers of batting between the cut quilt layers to get a puffy effect.
This gal cut the paisley pieces from trapunto batting, laid the pieces over the bottom coat, added a layer of fusible webbing, then stitched and quilted around the paisley pieces. It really looked like the free motion feathers I've seen people make.
Had to laugh at your comment. I take it you don't like to cook (grin). Thanks for visiting me earlier today (because it's still Wednesday in my world) and happy WOYWW from #2.
Thanks for your visit BJ, we had a lovely day on the boat with our friends, but it was rather windy.
Your photos look fun, you really do go to town with them. We are very poor at taking pics and even worse at printing them.

Hi again BJ. No I don't remember walking out to the lighthouse - as a guide I would have been doing whatever my guider told me to do. It was my very first guide camp!!

I am so far behind with project life, which is my kind of scrapbooking, or I should say it is going to be... I haven't even started yet.
Happy WOYWW... Love your desk full of craftyness. See you next week.
hugs,
Kimmer #91... last , but not least AGAIN.. LOL
