Desperately Wanted

Required Urgently

A Mojo of any size, small or large, mine is lost in the oblivion that is my shed and I need one URGENTLY

WOYWW

Today I am confessing to an addiction, I cannot stop buying journals and notebooks. The problem is I then cannot bear to use them!!

Are there any other similar addicts out there?  If there are, can you advise me on how to deal with it.  These two photo's show only those that are in The Shoebox (My home). I also have many in storage and in the Scrappy Shack!

I buy them, stroke them, smell them, but do everything to avoid using them. In fact they are just a symptom of an even bigger problem! The addiction to paper and card has my Scrappy Shack full to bursting.
I would like to use all of these with gay abandon, but cannot.Fear of spoiling a new book comes from being at school. Getting new exercise books at the beginning of the school year. Then blotting the first page with nib pens and black ink.  It ALWAYS happened, right through school.... I think worrying about blotting the books actually ended up sabotaging me.  So I need hints, tips and advice to enable me to open these books and use them.  Cannot think of a better platform that WOYWW provides, thanks to the wonderful Julia Dunnit.

All is Quiet in Scrappy Shack.

Nothing much has been happening due to our break in Scotland last week, and some remodelling and decorating in the Shoebox too. We hare having a family day tomorrow because of the FA Cup Semi Final between Everton and Liverpool, followed by the Grand National. But I am hoping to do a fair amount of crafty stuff starting on Sunday. Here's to a Great result for EVERTON and a very safe sporting spectacular at Aintree.  Have a Wonderful Weekend All

Still not in my Scrappy Shack, but it is improving.

This is what I am itching to get started on, a scrapbook of the weekend in London with two of my gorgeous granddaughters. I got the photo's printed yesterday and I have been collecting  Papermania's Portabello Road collection in the weeks leading up to the weekend along with a few other bits and bob's. So now I am rearing to go.

Pop across and see Julia, the leader of the gang for some delicious show and tell.

Better late than never,t I got her in the end.

Still in a state of flux with my shed, but should be in there for next weeks WOYWW.

My photo today is part of my birthday stash curtsey of my husband.  Not only one ATG but two!!

One for acid free and one for all purpose, he is a gem is my gent.

The rest is from my visit to Blade Rubber Stamps in London on Saturday. I really lovely shop that I would love to live closer too, so I could to some workshops there.

Pop across to the lady who planted the seed of the WOYWW phenomenon at Stamping Ground and see some great work space's.

I'm still working in the kitchen, my shed is a work in progress shall we say. I am working on pages for a Circle Journal I am running with a group of girls who got together at Crab Apple Crafts retreat last year.  This is about my favourite musical, but it doesn't give any clues does it?  If it works out I will post a photo tomorrow. Happy WOYWW Day. Pop over to Julia's Place and see lots of gorgeous work spaces.

Progress is Slow

I have been making slow progress in my shed, hopefully I will have some pictures to share tomorrow. Too much stuff is the problem. I am going to donate some to our local hospice and to my granddaughters schools.

I have managed to do a little crafting, on the Circle Journal that needs sending off by Friday. 
Photo's to follow.
