Happy WOYWW everyone, come join in the mega blog hop over at Julia's.
I got some new sentiment dies of "Easter" and "Anniversary" and, a bit belated, I got the Timmy lattice stencil and the spritzer thingy but haven't had a chance for a play yet.I had my second harp lesson this week and made up a journal page of my first song.
Ashtead Craft Club last week was all about Easter and so the boxes and bags we made are still on my desk.
For the DLP prompt of "get someone to draw something and you finish it off". I spent most of Mother's Day trying to get my son to draw something but to no avail so I passed the paper to my husband and he drew a bicycle. I duly finished it off. Bit overboard with my new speckle stamp!
Oh and for those following my garden through the seasons, here's the Magnolia in full bloom, much more timely this year. The Wisteria (in the foreground) is awash with buds too, it will surely have a good show this year.

oh that magnolia looks magnificent!! Hope to see you soon. Helen 9
I am in awe of that back yard. I have pressed magnolia leaves before, but don't have anyone who owns one (tree) now. Lucky you.
That spritzer seems to be making the rounds at a lot of British desks. I see it made yours, too.
I wanted to tell you, you can run those aluminum cans through your die cutter. Just be careful when removing the piece, because it might have a burr on it if the die is old. But it doesn't hurt the die, or the machine.
Harp lessons? Oh my - enjoy! And have a great week xx
i forgot to ask. Are you going to the WOYWW crop? I know Helen is going, and I thought the two of you lived sort of close to each other.
Oh I've been toying with the idea of having a magnolia but I'm not sure it will survive up here. I'll have to check with the nursery.
It looks amazing and must bring a smile to your face every time you see it.
I'm impressed hearing about your harp lessons and your journal page looks great. You're certainly a busy talented lady ;D
Enjoy WOYWW and thanks for sharing
xoxo
Lots going on as always BJ. I like the stencil in particular. The magnolia is beautiful. Anne x #28

Wow, you have been busy BJ! ...and I really need to get my hands on one of those splatter stamps!!.... beautiful creations... and what a stunning magnolia tree !! Jan x
Beautiful magnolia and it must be glorious when the wisteria is in full bloom. Lovely art journal page and the stencil looks like it will be a great background.

Hi BJ, I didn't behead my Bride & Groom, honest, lol. The image has the dress and suit on hangers, which is too fiddly to cut out, and never looks right!Saw a magnolia on an earlier blog- they look beautiful, but don't they make an awful mess when the petals drop?Have a great week, running around late this week, I lost Wednesday completely, lol. Hugs Shaz #55 xx
Harp lessons! Congratulations on your first song! Great way to commemorate the occasion! Beautiful magnolia! Thanks for the peek and sharing. :) #44
Hi BJ. Love the bicycle page for DLP. And your magnolia tree is fabulous. We are just now starting to see flowering bushes and trees coming out. Just started to warm up weather wise this week here in West Virginia, USA. Have a wonderful Easter holiday.
Hi BJ,
What a great idea to make a journal page of your first song played on your harp! I bet your lessons are coming along very well.
The bike your husband drew has lots of character. What a fun project.
The magnolia tree is amazing. I love the blooms. We got snow here yesterday and the rule of thumb is not to plant anything before the middle of May. Yikes!
Thank you for visiting me already! Happy belated WOYWW
Hugs, Kay (21)
Hi BJ. Late getting round this week - you have really been busy! So much going on. well done. Your first song on the harp!! That's great. I remember poor Joy, our daughter, being told she had to learn all the exercizes before she would be allowed to play a tune - as you can guess, that didn't go down too well at the age of 8!!! No wonder she moved o to the saxophone...
Have a great week.

Oh that magnolia is perfect isn't it, what a gift of a sight.
I love the speckle stamp, one of those images the type think you don't early need and then once you own it, you need it on everything!
