Well I made it through the first day back at work - just. Had a telephone consultation with occupational health yesterday - required for the cover insurance at school. Was glad for the day off and had a great time at my recorder group in the afternoon.
I have been making cards using the Barbara's Loving Heart stamp set from Clarity Crafts. I didn't get them posted in time for the craftalong but will send them in with my next lot of samples. The mojo comes and goes.
I am resolutely completing my #dailycollage2024 pages though.
Thanks for the responses I have had regarding the crop on 18th May. Eva and I assure you that the crop is definitely on. However it will make things easier if you all bring your own lunch and we only provide tea and coffee. There is a convenience store and a fish and chip shop across the road so there are plenty of places to get food on the day. Of course any cake donated to the cause will I am sure also be well received. As long as we cover the costs of the hall for the day we will not worry (£10-15) per person who is crafting depending on numbers. I am so looking forward to seeing you all and I know there will be many more there in spirit too.

Great to see you made it through your first day back. Hope you manage to take it easy.
it will be lovely to see you and Eva at the crop, and not a problem at all about bringing our own lunch! Happy WOYWW Helen #1
Oh Sarah, I have been happy to see all your FB collages daily. They are really all unique. OH the crop...I've come to grips with not being able to make the trip....the 4 yrs my son was in the area went by I so much wanted to visit but our air flights and traveling alone just didn't seem "OK"...April went so fast. and I am happy also that you got a day off, Best Wishes to You
Great to hear the crop is on Sarah. I have checked the map and I'm sure I will find my way with little Annie! It will be lovely to see you. x x Jo
Hi Sarah, food is no problem. Looking forward to seeing you again. Loving the journal pages, well done at keeping it up. Take care and wishing you a happy woyww, hugs Angela x8x.
Thank you, Sarah for carrying on with the crop despite your recent losses. There’s an oatcake shop on London Road that I’ll be heading for to buy my lunch. For non- locals, oatcakes are similar to crepes, but denser. We have them mostly with savoury fillings like cheese and tomato or bacon.
By he way, Sarah, could you or anyone in your recorder group use a tenor recorder? It was a present years ago. It will need a good clean and Ive lost its brush but it’s a shame for it not to be used.
Love your daily collages.
Take care and happy WOYWW

Good Morning Sarah, so pleased to see my comment even before I'd linked this morning. Really wish I was OK with travelling to join you all at the crop but alas no. Great collages, you are doing really well, hope school is kind to you and Big Hugs BJ#11
Your cards are beautiful! Michelle x
Hoping I can make it on the 18th. It's not far off is it!
I do hope a fair number of people manage to make it this year.
The first day is always the worse after any break and I am sure you will be fine now you are starting back in a routine.
More great collages.
Hugs, Neet 13 xx
Glad it all went well . . .ish . . .
Now for the bad news . . . I don't think I will be able to make the Crop. I don't drive and Dearest Dee is still having ongoing cancer treatment. Sorry about this circumstances may change . . .
Love my Clarity stamps, haven't had a good play yet but . . .

mmm Fish and chips sounds like a definite possibility. So glad you are going ahead with the crop and can't wait to see you again. Good to see you keeping focussed on your daily challenges and hope that it is helping you. Have a great week, love n hugs Cindyxx #15
Great collages, how did you stick the feather? Wish I could go to the crop. Happy WOYWW. Angela #12
I do like the heart cards Sarah, fab idea with the initials too, very personal. Glad that your return to school wasn't too bad, expect you were pretty knackered though! Loving your resolution with the collages, a great thing to keep you ticking over!
I'm glad your back to work day went well. I'm hoping to come to the crop....keeping everything crossed.
Hugs,
Annie x #6
Love your collages, as always! My favourite this week is Nature and Nurture! Your cards are also lovely, using the heart stamp. I will look forward to seeing everyone having fun at the crop this year, but since I am across the pond, I can't come! Maybe someday...Have a great week, Lindart #17
HI Sarah
Each day will become easier. At least that's what I hear.
I so wish I could be there for the crop. Do you know how many are planning to attend?
