Make it on Monday.

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

I am here today to show you the last part of the Baby Journal and if you would like to see more of it you can find it here:


I wanted to include a few extras to make everyone smile too.


This is a pull up Peek-a-boo embellishment. 


I planned this to be for the baby's first year so included a birthday card at the end.

This is a pop out card but great for keeping flat too.




And finally I decorated the spine with embellishments from the set.


And the back was finished with a pattern from the set and my name tag.


And that's your lot!
Now I can get on with something else, at least until the next time!

Think it might have to be cabin sorting next!

I would love to hear your comments.

Many thanks for stopping by and 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.
Which doesn't seem to have been that much really.

We went to the fish farm for new supplies for the pond gang.


These are the big boys at the fish farm.


I would love a pond like this as it has a vewing window at one end.


Then we went for lunch, always nice to eat out....no washing up to do!

Back home.....

Daisy and Alfie are always pleased when we get back.


How cute are they? 
Not sure what they were looking at or maybe someone came to the door! or it might be dinner time.

Also done a few jobs at home.


Watering the Orchids.
One of my favourites that I have had for years.
My mum bought this from M&S.


In the garden but no idea what lives in there.


Hubby has been cleaning the filters for the pond too. If you want healthy Koi this is the job that has to be done.

Nearly finished the Baby Journal too.


Details here:

Mmm! maybe we have done a few things this week.

Just a quick funny to finish.

My two are capable of this given half a chance!

Have a great weekend everyone and
 thanks for stopping by.

Leave me a comment and I'll pop over to see what you've been up to this week too.

woyww - 885 - 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!


I'm working on a new pop-up card for the Craft Club.


I'll show it to you properly when I've mastered the technique but looks like it should work out okay for the club.


I've almost finished the Baby Journal and this is part of what I've done recently and more details are available here if you need them.

ooo0ooo

And that's me done for today.

Thanks for stopping by and hope you will pop over and visit the other desks.

 I'm off now to see what everyone else is up to.
Have a great woyww 

and 
happy crafting,

Make it on Monday.

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

I am here today to show you a little more of the Baby Journal which is moving along nicely, still a few more weeks to go before baby arrives but don't want to be rushing at the last minute and you never know he could arrive early!

A few additions to the journal's mini book that you saw here last week.


An information sheet and I've included message tags to use for all those memories.


Lots of places for photographs to be added.


Card albums........


Some lined paper on the back of the tags to make it easier to write any notes.


Another small book for the photographs.


Always make sure there is plenty of room between pages as the journal will thicken up when things are added.

 
And spaces to add collectable memories.


You can never have enough journal pages for photographs so here we go again.


It's so much fun finding different ways to store the photogrphs.


There will be a little more to follow next week and then I'm off to start something new.

I would love to hear your comments.

Many thanks for stopping by and 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.
Quite busy this week, walking dogs, visiting the Garden centre, working on the baby journal, joining in the felting group.......it just goes on.

My garden's looking lovely.


Beautiful flowers.


And I have a new friend.


These flowers are just so beautiful too.


I saw these fungi in the park but not sure what they are  called.


But even better......


The swans in the park....


Had a surprise for us this week,


Eight babies now that was a surprise.


And this guy appeared while I was watching the swans too. Yes it's a rat.


And a squirrel.

I guess that's enough for this week so I'll finish with a few funnies.





Have a great weekend everyone and
 thanks for stopping by.

Leave me a comment and I'll pop over to see what you've been up to this week too.

woyww - 884 - 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" on this Anniversary day.


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!


I'm still busy working on the Baby Journal.



There are more photographs and instructions for this if you want to see them, on my Monday post here: there is too much to include it here but I'll keep you in touch on how it's developing.

Mary Anne mentioned how long she had been on woyww so I thought I'd have a look back too.....

mine was the 26th Feb 2014 (247), the first week that I joined in with WOYWW and you can find the post here:
I had been directed to it the week before but this was my first real connection with everyone, intoduced by Redanne (Anne Redfern) who you may remember.

And finally some memories, ATCs sent to me by Neet.


She always was so generous.
Rest in peace sweet friend.

So that's me done for today.

Thanks for stopping by and hope you will pop over and visit the other desks.

 I'm off now to see what everyone else is up to.
Have a great woyww 

and 
happy crafting,
