July #dailycollage2024 Pages Complete

I can't believe that August is here already and I am already a third of the way through my third ring bound journal of the year with my #dailycollage2024 pages.  For August I am going back to green in memory of my Dad who passed away last year.  Here are the rest of my gold/yellow July pages.

WOYWW 791/11: A Change!

 Already a week into the summer holidays - how time flies.  Welcome dear deskers to WOYWW, the inception of Julia who led us for 15 years, and who kindly entrusted me with the reins.

Having finished and posted off my remaining samples my desk actually shows some crafting activity of my own.  I bought these stamps a while back and thought it was about time I had a play as Barbara Gray is doing a Craftalong tomorrow at 7pm on Facebook using them.

In other news - I will be collecting my new car tomorrow.  I dropped really lucky on an 11 month old with less than 2,000 miles on the clock (Toyota Yaris Cross) so it was a no brainer.  I will be dropping my current car off for sale today so I can take full advantage of the remaining car tax on it.  Both garages are within walking distance of home so I will have no problem getting back or going to collect tomorrow.

I can't believe that it is August tomorrow.  I shall be spending next Tuesday afternoon with Mum as it will be the first anniversary of Dad's death.  This post is scheduled, as there is no way I will be up as early as I am on a school day in the holidays.

Please join in and link up your desk.  Happy WOYWW - thanks for joining in.

#dailycollage2024 July So Far

 For July #dailycollage2024 pages I have gone with a yellow/gold colour theme.  Here is the story so far...

As usual, each page starts with Clarity Collage papers - this month Chamomile Infusions - and finish with one of the many sets of words stickers.

WOYWW 789/9: Last Week of Term

Welcome to WOYWW, a weekly sharing of desks, hosted for 15 years by Julia.  She has entrusted me with carrying on for which I am grateful.

As you can see by the date and time on my new smart watch, I prepared this post yesterday.  Once again I had just finished marking the last assessements of the year and didn't think they would be of much interest to you.  I downloaded a picture of my Dad as wallpaper to the phone.  This time last year he had gone into hospital and we were in the middle of an Ofsted (Office for Standards in Education) at school.  This week has been a lot more relaxed although I have to come up with four hours of activities for KS3 students not going to Alton Towers on Friday.

It is celebration afternoon in school this afternoon, with the leavers' assembly for Y8 and form time for all.  We have a small celebration after school too, to say goodbye to a colleague who is leaving us.  Stay safe and happy WOYWW.  Thanks for joining in...

WOYWW 788/8: Flying By

 Welcome to the weekly desk share that is WOYWW.  Thanks to Julia for trusting me to carry on with her baby of the first 15 years (780 weeks).

My desk shows some new alphabet dies that I used to personalise a new baby card for a colleague (see Saturday's blog) as I didn't think you would be interested in my assessment marking.

I am into the swing with the July #dailycollage2024 pages as you can see.  Yesterday afternoon I had a pleasant time at school (on my day off) with the u3a recorder group playing for KS2.  They seemed to have a good time and asked some great questions.

This evening I will be stopping on at school between home time and awards' evening as it is an early start and finish so everyone can make it home in time for the footie.  I will be round to visit as soon as possible.  Stay safe and thanks for joining in with WOYWW.
