Friday Fun Day with Smiles.

 Welcome to all my new followers, hope you enjoy the journey.

Angela here again to show you what I've been up to this week and last week actually.

Thought you might like this as it's better than the earlier one. 

This is Les Menuires in the Les 3 Vallees in France which is part of the largest interlinking ski area in the world.

This might give an idea of just how big it is.

There is now also a fourth valley but it is still known as the 3 vallees.

Anyway don't want to bore you with that.

Had to show you this next one....

This was a Birthday card sent to hubby by his sister.

I think someone's been in the house and photographed my two but what do you think?

They sit here at the bottom of the stairs when anyone comes to the door expecting a biscuit.

Alfie and Daisy

And of course they get one!

It does mean when people come we get less barking and excitement but dirty looks until the biscuits arrive!

I've not done much else as I came home with a stinker of a cold which has tired me out so I'm having a restful week but sure I'll be back to normal soon.

My friend did send me this.....

I can't think what she is getting at!

I think she knows me too well lol!

Have a great weekend everyone and

 thanks for stopping by.

And if you would like some more smiles you just need to pop over to see what our other friends have been doing this week at Annie's for
"This Week's Smiles" and you can also share your  smiles too.

WOYWW - 815 - What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday.

   Welcome to all my new followers, hope you enjoy the journey.

Hi Workdesk friends. 
We are here for another Wednesday at the Workdesk and here is:
"What's on my Workdesk this Wednesday".

If you don't know what this is all about then please visit Sarah's Craft Shed and our host Sarah will explain.

So here is my desk for today!

We only arrived back on Sunday and there were dogs to fetch and bath (scruffs!), cases to unpack and shopping to do so not much going on here but I have been posting photos of the baby journal here.

 However I am getting ready to start some more masterboard grids.

Inbetween the skiing I did watch "Collage Joy Taster" by Catherine Rains, just love the way she makes her collage papers and can't wait to have a go at some I've not done before.

So that's me done for today.

 Thanks for stopping by and hope you will pop over and join in the visits around the other desks.

 I'm off now to see what everyone else is up to.

Have a great woyww 

and 
happy crafting,

Manic Monday Baby Journal.

  Welcome to all my new followers, hope you enjoy the journey.

I am hoping that the baby journals are completed though I shall go through them once more before I am satisfied.

For now a few photos of the journals and by all means if you think something should be added please say so.

As I do not know if it will be a girl or a boy I have had to make two, one pink and one blue.

I used a vey old Spellbinder's die to cut out the title section at the front from the original book

and added it to the journal. 

"Waste Not Want Not" as they say.

The main journal fastens with a ribbon

and the inside starts with a smaller journal which fastens with a small magnet.

And a frame for the babies first photograph.

The frames are open at the top so that the photo can be inserted to fit firmly.

There are several pages and pockets in the small journal and I've included an information sheet too.

I think that's enough for today and will show you the rest of the journal next time.

I would love to hear your comments.

Many thanks for stopping by and happy crafting,

Happy Crafting

Friday Fun Day with Smiles.

          Welcome to all my new followers, hope you enjoy the journey.

Angela here again to show you what I've been up to this week.

I hope you will forgive me for making this rather short and I may be late getting round to see you all but I will get there.

If you were around Wednesday I teased you with this desk well here I am wearing the helmet.

Some of you may have guessed what's going on here and now you know.

 

Naughty but very nice!

Also very nice this is a Mocktail, naturally you don't want to be found drunk in charge of skis.

Not a brilliant photo as I took it through the window but it will give you a bit more idea of what's going on.

We've been meeting up with old friends too which was so nice. 

The original owners of this hotel where selling up just  before Covid started which was a very scary time for them but it all went through and they popped up to see us on Tuesday. They now live in Annecy where they own another hotel.

Our friendship with them and their family is too long to tell the story here.

Have a great weekend everyone and

 thanks for stopping by.

And if you would like some more smiles you just need to pop over to see what our other friends have been doing this week at Annie's for

WOYWW - 814 - What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday.

   Welcome to all my new followers, hope you enjoy the journey.

Hi Workdesk friends. 
We are here for another Wednesday at the Workdesk and here is:
"What's on my Workdesk this Wednesday".

If you don't know what this is all about then please visit Sarah's Craft Shed and our host Sarah will explain.

So here is my desk as I left it!

Both baby journals are almost finished!

There is a good reason why my desk is idle !

Because we're not at home and this is my real desk for this week but no crafting here.

This is the first time in four years you will have seen a desk like this on my blog.

Those who have known me for a while will guess where I am. Unusually for me I am having a craft free week, I only have a small note book and a pencil with me......just in case.

So that's me done for today but I'll be back soon.

 Thanks for stopping by and hope you will pop over and join in the visits around the other desks.

 I will be out for most of the day but will get round to see you all later and that's a promise! 

Have a great woyww 

and 
happy crafting,

Manic Monday Baby Journal.

  Welcome to all my new followers, hope you enjoy the journey.

I am still busy with the Baby Journal and not much more time left to go so need to get it finished soon:

I like to work on both journals at the same time as it feels easier to work on the same pages in one go.

These are some small photo books you might have seen in an earlier post.

I shall probably leave these pages blank allowing the recipient to cover these as they wish, probably with photographs.

I'm still prepping the basic pages which will be added to later but the photograph book is attached by slipping the base under the patterned paper and gluing everything down so it's added at the same time. This leaves a secure and neat finish.

More to follow soon.

I would love to hear your comments.

Many thanks for stopping by and happy crafting,
