First of all - thoughts and prayers for one of our group - Shaz, and Doug her lovely husband who feels like he is one of us by now, we are thinking of you constantly and praying for your return to good health.
Another week has flown by and it is now week 609 of the WOYWW blog trail (see here) where we bare all for Julia. Well, on our desks that is. The mind boggles as to how that could be interpreted.
Well, after last week's hive of industry there is little to show you this week. I have had my paints out for a Tracy Evans journal spread for a week now but the tidying up of my room keeps getting in the way. I don't seem to be making much headway either. My Thursday journal with my friend Wendy is about the only thing I have done craftwise but I have thrown lots of paper away. Mainly class notes that I will not use again, or which I would redo anyhow. I have moved my books back into my craft room from the spare room where they languished on the window sill. I was surprised at the amount of page protectors that had housed some worksheet had disintegrated along the top edge, with the sun I guess. Anyway, here is my room as it stands Tuesday evening and will stay so until later Wednesday.
and the other bit of desk
As soon as I get all this sorted I will, hopefully, do some crafting. I need to do it this afternoon so that I can get my journal done for tomorrow. Last minute again!
Well, yesterday morning we awoke to snow again. I didn't venture out but this was the view from our bedroom window
By just after lunch the snow had lots of footprints in it from the magpies who had been scurrying about meeting up for a natter about how was the best way to get food. They seemed to enjoy having a good layer of snow to walk through.
Just one last thing - a friend of mine was appealing on Facebook for bits and pieces for her friend, Anna, who is doing voluntary work in her area on the outskirts of London putting together craft goodie bags for children so that they can be kept busy and happy during the time they are away from school. Some parents are struggling to hold everything together and Anna has offered to collect any bits and pieces (toppers, stickers, card etc) but I am sure other crafts could be incorporated into the bags for young to teens. Anyone who is a gran will have a better idea than me. Anna is willing to pay the postage (I think via Hermes - https://www.myhermes.co.uk/send ) if you want but I sent some stuff myself just as a donation. I have the address if anyone wants to get rid of tidying up stuff. No pressure, I just thought I would pass on.
Well, that's it for this week, prayers for Shaz are top of the list, let's hope for better news on her next week.
