#dailycollage2024: The End of October

 October is at an end already, and with it my autumn coloured #dailycollage2024 pages.  Here is a round up of the last half of October.  Each page begins as always with a Collage Infusions paper from Clarity Crafts and finishes with an offering from one of their many words sticker collections.

Youngest son's birthday.

Family get together!

For November I am going with a black and red theme.

WOYWW 804/24: And Breathe

 Welcome to the weekly sharing of desks that is WOYWW (What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday), started over 15 years ago by the amazing Julia and entrusted to me to keep going.  Please do join in/visit the desks of the great group of people who are part of this blog hop.

My desk shows the ingredients ready for the Craft Along on Thursday evening with Barbara Gray on the Clarity website (www.claritycrafts.com).  I just need to get the brayer that I reserve for paint out and my brown craft mat.  There is now a section for Clarity TV where all the shows and SHAC/craft sessions are in one place.  You can watch live or catch up later.  With the demise of Create & Craft it is so important to support craft businesses directly.

After a bad week last week, this one has been much better.  We had a family get together on Sunday.

Three generations of both sides of the family. #2 son took the photo with his drone. Tommy (the dog) was not impressed.

I finished my pumpkin for the staff challenge - there were loads of entries.

I am making the most of half term with lie-ins and crafting!  Stay safe and Happy WOYWW.

WOYWW 803/23: Ready For A Break

 Welcome to the weekly sharing of desks that is WOYWW - a weekly get together of blogs and like minded crafty people which has been going for over 15 years.  The inspiration of Julia who has kindly entrusted me to keep things going since the 15th anniversary.

My desk shows my entry so far to the staff pumpkin decorating competition from Saturday afternoon.  No crafting has taken place since for many reasons that I won't go into here.  Suffice it to say it's not been a good week!  Please feel free to share your more productive desks and visit others that have more to show you via the links below.  Stay safe and Happy WOYWW.

October #dailycollage2024 Pages - Part One

I think that my October #dailycollage2024 pages are probably my favourites of the year to now.  I love autumn colours and the images of fallen leaves.  As usual my pages start with Clarity Infusions Collage papers - this time Darjeeling - and are finished with a Clarity Words sticker from one of their five collections.

WOYWW 802/22: Voice Back!

 Welcome to the weekly desk share that is What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday - for 15 years Julia's baby and now entrusted to me for safekeeping.  Please feel free to link up your desk and/or visit those whose desks are far more interesting than mine.

I have been adding to my paper storage folder collection and have two more on their way.  Will still need another 5 or 6 at least to house all my Clarity 8x8 papers but they will be much better organised.

I cheated a little with my #dailycollage2024 pages this week as the Friday and Saturday pages were both created on 12th.  I had a sore throat Thursday morning last week and woke up Friday with no voice and feeling hot and cold.  Spent the day in bed under the covers wearing my Oodie to keep snug.  It meant also cancelling the recorder play day I was supposed to attend on Saturday.  Was back at work on Monday and my voice held up OK.  We are in school again on Saturday morning as it is the open morning for prospective parents.  Stay safe and Happy WOYWW.
