Floral Flourish Home Made Washi Tag

I have had a tangle of low tack tape that had been spritzed with Distress Oxides sitting on the side for quite a while after making the project HERE.   I finally decided to untangle them and use them as a background on a tag.

WOYWW 848/68: Officially Retired

Welcome to the weekly sharing of desks which is WOYWW (What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday?), the brainchild of Julia, who kindly entrusted it to me to continue after the first 15 years of togetherness.  Please feel free to link up your desk and visit others' - we are a friendly bunch.  

This month's ATC theme for the Clarity swap is Travel and the colour pink, so I had some potential stamps out ready to make.  I have also offered to make a card for a former colleague so I need to get that done before popping into school on Friday.  I must admit that I am missing my colleagues.

Thanks for all the retirement well wishes.  I celebrated my first official day of retirement on Monday with a lie in, visiting desks after a hectic weekend, and going over to Mum's for dinner with her, sister, BIL and the friend that I gave a lift to from Kent.

The start of #6 - I won't quite fill 8 this year.

This was done late in the day after my recorder play day in Lichfield which was very enjoyable.

Wow - September already!

I am getting used to this retirement malarky, although I still wake up early on 'school' days even without an alarm.  I am also hoping that all the samples I made last week and posted on Saturday actually make it to Clarity as there hasn't been an update by Evri since 8am on Monday and they were due by yesterday.  As I paid for next day delivery I was expecting them to be delivered on Monday! 

Stay safe and Happy WOYWW everyone.

Mini Leafy Birthday Card

 I had a play with the August stamps from the Clarity New Design Club and created this autumnal mini birthday card.

#dailyart2025 Two-Thirds Done

I have just started my sixth Petite watercolour journal from Clarity Crafts for my #dailyart2025 drawings as August ends.  It will be well into October before I have to start the next one. As usual I have been using prompts from the 365 days of drawing prompts and other art group on FB.

Never like seeing demi-semi quavers in a piece of music lol.

One of the more specific prompts!

First page in my new journal.

A nice easy one to finish the month.
