WOYWW 788/8 I am starting again...

 Dear friends and bloggers!


Some of you might remember me some may not but I used to be a regular WOYWWer. Unfortunately lots has happened to me in recent years ( my partner passed away, health problems, operations)so I just couldn't get up to crafting.Well I did make a card every now and then but not much really. Recently I just started intensely watching crafty videos and suddenly I felt that I need to go back to my beloved hobby! I am sorry I missed Julia's farewell but she is not really gone, but I am really happy that Sarah has taken over and the happy Wednesdays can carry on. Enough of my talking I think I need to show you probably the worse desk you have ever seen...

Right side....


I recently thought I would get rid of my paper pads and make a few cards but that didn't really work you just can't use much of the papers really but I ended up with 2 very similar cards....and I used only 2 papers 😞


I decided to start making some ATCs to send off to you ladies on WOYWW. When I actually make them I will let you all know and I will send them off. I have addresses of some of you but not all of course so if you want one let me know in the comments bellow and we will arrange something.

Anyway I bought these new Tim Holtz Distress Spritz products And used them to make backgrounds for my ATCs...



They are very nice and shiny....



The colors of the Spritzes are lovely but the mica does come off a bit so that is something to think of when you use them...

So that is me for today... I will try to get round to all of you during the week but it won't be today... I walked around Ikea today so you can imagine how tired I am...

Have a lovely crafty week and I wiil see you all next week...

Love and hugs to all

  1. Hi, it's great to see you back again though it sounds like life has been a bit difficult since you were last here. I had to smile when you mentioned trying to use up your paper pads, I have tried but the more you use the more seem to appear as if there is a magical fairy producing more of them when you're not looking Lol! The new TH inks look good but I must try to avoid buying them until my old stuff is used up...at least I'll try! Sending you hugs and wishes for a happy woyww, Angela x10x

  3. Hello, it's so nice that we have come back on the same week. I remember you and your late partner very well. I did much the same as you did to reawaken my enthusiasm for my interest in scrapping. YouTube is a great asset there. I hope you continue to enjoy making your ATCs, the colours in the spritzes look lovely. Have a good week. Elizabeth x #15

  4. Definitely not the worst desk! Sorry to hear you have been going through some bad times. I hope you can get back into crafting, it is great therapy! I am trying to use stuff up too. I think I am winning - just a little anyway. Happy WOYWW. Angela #12

  7. Sorry to hear life has been difficult for you but glad you are getting bitten by the crafty bug again - you certainly have a lot of stash to choose from - yours is definitely a desk I'd love to rummage through! I daren't buy any more inks however tempting the TH ones look - like Angela I need to use up some old ones first.
    Happy WOYWW,

  8. So good to see you back Dolores even though I have seen you on FB. Thanks for the tip on the new TH sprays - I couldn't resist getting them but have yet to have a play. Lots of hugs and best wishes. Sarah
