About Me

My photo
I retired on March 11th 2014 after 26 years as a doctors receptionist. I am now looking forward to the freedom to enjoy my days doing anything I wish to. Spending time with family, catching up with friends. Playing in my Scrappy Shack, scrapbooking, cardmaking, art journalling, quilting, gardening, baking. Spending wonderful times with my beloved other half. I am so looking forward to this time in my life.

My Scrappy Shack is Painted

This is my lovely grandaughter, painting the door of my shed. My husband was painting the outside and Jaz wanted to help, so she got to do the inside of the door.
I didn't get a photo of the finished door as yet, but she did a great job.

Here she is wearing:
Overall by Ralph White..lol
Shoes by Slippers&Co.
Gloves by Blue4Hue

She had great fun sorting out my coloured cardstock into colours/shades/textures.
I had even more fun watching her;)

WOYWW


This is my table this morning, a card making session with my gorgeous granddaughter's.
They were making thank you cards for the ladies at the local library. I joined Emily and Jessica a few weeks ago and they won some cinema tickets.  We went to see "Cat's and Dog's" last night and we had a good time. So today was booked as a crafting day a week or so ago, and thank you cards were the order of the day.  We are going to be doing ATC's as soon as I have finished here.  I love that they enjoy papercrafting.

My Scrappy Shack is now ready for playing in so hopefully I will be sharing more often on WOYWW.

WOYWW


This is me trying to get my stuff together for the
Crabapple Scrapbook Retreat with the lovely Rosemary Merry
the weekend of 16th to 18th July at The Forest Hills Hotel in Frodsham.
I have never done a weekend of scrapbooking, away from home.
It is usally just one day crops that I attend. 
So I am not sure how much of the basic supplies to take.
How much glue for instance?

Anyone out there got any tips?
There will be a Pyjama Party on the Saturday night
with scrapping until 2am!!

I do not want to be taking too much stuff, as I do going on holiday.
So any hints on how you can travel light with scrapbook supplies
would be very gratefully received.
What a stupid request?
Travel light with beautiful papers,
embellishments, photo's, inks, scissors, paper trimmers.....

I am sure there are some good idea's out there, please?

Crappy Not Scrappy Time

I have been having a crappy time lately wish it was a scrappy time but it wasn't.
I will be making a concerted effort to get down and dirty this coming week.

WOYWW


I know this isn't the usual photo expected on WOYWW.
But I am very happy with it, because it means my Scrappy Shack is ready for me to start playing.
I only discovered WOYWW about six weeks ago, when I was in the throes of getting my play area furnished. Therefore I have not created anything for the FABULOUS one year anniversary of WOYWW.
But I do lovely this empty space I now have, it will be very different next week.

Congratulation's Julia on an amazing phenomenon, you really have started something!!
