#dailycollage2024 Half Way Through

 As June comes to an end I am half way through my #dailycollage2024 challenge to myself.  I shall be starting a third ring bound journal for July-September and probably going for a yellow/orange colour theme for July.  Here is a round up of the second half of June and my purple pages.

First Father's Day without Dad.

WOYWW 786/6: Still Busy

 Welcome to the weekly desk share blog link that is WOYWW.  Hosted by Julia for 15 years who then passed the baton to me.  Thanks for joining in.

My desk actually has something of interest on it - the puffin picture that I created at Tilly Tea Dance's workshop on Saturday.  I also had a quick catch up with Jo (Twiglet) who was dropping off the memory cushions that Annie (Whipso) had made for me.  They are wonderful - thank you.

I also treated myself to a fabulous piece of artwork by Tilly Tea Dance herself which now hangs in the living room.

The concert in Lichfield the same evening went well.  Sunday was a quiet day of crafting and memories.

My reports are complete but it is still very busy at work even though today is the halfway point of the term.  11 more working days to cram everything in.  Stay safe everyone and Happy WOYWW.

WOYWW 785/5: Still Busy

Welcome to the weekly sharing of desks that is WOYWW, led for 15 years by Julia who trusted me to take up the reins.

I am very busy with sample making and report writing, neither of which can be shown on my desk, so I took a snap yesterday morning as I was working on my #dailycollage2024 page.  You can see some of the ephemera that I have been using on my pages for June and my trusty glue runner.  The glasses case is always a feature as they are now essential for close work and reading.

Tribute to Dad.

The parents' evening went well and I was quite busy.  Reports should be done with by the weekend and I am looking forward to a felting class with Tilly Tea Dance on Saturday.  Also a catch up with Jo (Twiglet) who is bringing the memory cushions that I commissioned from Annie (Whipso) at the WOYWW crop.  Saturday evening I am also playing in a recorder concert where I will be seeing all my siblings, my Mum and my brother- and sister-in law.  Sunday would have been our 34th wedding anniversary so I am trying to keep busy.  I wish Caro a Happy Anniversary as we shared the date if not the year.

Stay safe and thanks for joining in with WOYWW.

PS I have comment moderation on so you won't see your comment until I have chance to approve it.  Will be at Eva's watching the footy this evening so will be later on.

#dailycollage2024: June the First Half!

For my June #dailycollage2024 pages I decided on a purple colour palette.  I have been using the Clarity BOW-WOB papers in the background and finishing each page with a Clarity word sticker as always.

I went through my stickers to find the right colours.
