WOYWW 743

 It's Wednesday!  Welcome to Crafting With Jack and What’s On Your Workdesk Wednesday,  a day when we link up to Julia's Stamping Ground and have a look to see what everyone has been doing. For me I have been working my socks off sorting out my room.  


It may not look a great different to last week, but I have been opening boxes and sorting them out and also making some folders like Mary Anne’s lovely ones here.   I was going to buy the page pockets, but they seemed a bit expensive whereas the A4 ones are as cheap as chips (not that chips are cheap any more 😊).  The main idea was get all my collage bits together and making searching simpler.  To give you some idea of my organizational skills, I had “words” in three different places.  I ended up filling 3 folders although the bottom one is A4 pockets.


We have my lovely mother in law with us and after a visit to the hairdresser, she lost her hearing.  I spent yesterday morning on the telephone trying to find someone to check her ear for wax. The doctor said they couldn’t see her as a temporary resident, the hospital said the same,  other places had appointments for 2 and 3 weeks time.  Eventually I got an appointment for Tuesday next week.  It is so frustrating for her not being able to hear and for my husband!

We have two new fish in the pond, they are still hiding so I can’t show you.  Somebody local was giving away pond fish, I telephoned asking if they were about 2 inches, and we went round to collect them.  They turned out be Koi and more like 5 inches.  Well my sister has a large pond so I thought she would have them, but no my husband wanted to keep them.

As a temporary cover for the container the chap gave me this book, which he didn't want:


If anyone would like it I could post it to you.

Finally, having been persuaded my by son to sign up for Temu who was messaging everyone, my order arrived:

Buy 10 items get 8 free!  as it was a limited time offer and I really got fed up looking, I ordered washi tape, most of it turned out to be stickers instead, but hey ho!  My DIL got £65 to spend as a result of my son phoning and persuading!

Sorry if this post post seems overlong!

Sorry to be away last week.  There was so much to do when we got back.  The first thing was to open the post, I decided to save my ATC's for when I had more time and that proved a difficult thing to find.

My room is looking much tidier.


Thank you for all my wonderful ATC's.


The last Sunday we were away, the church in Kimbolton had an icecream service.  This included making paper planes!  It was a lovely day and a great service with some of my favourite hymns/worship songs.


Once the planes were made and a prayer written on them, everyone launched their planes with various degrees of success.  Mine flew straight for about 6 feet and then did an abrupt turn aiming at a lady who was retrieving her plane at the time.  I am sure you can guess which part of her anatomy it was aiming for 😂😂.  Luckily it stopped a few inches away!  I kid you not!

 It's Wednesday!  Welcome to Crafting With Jack and What’s On Your Workdesk Wednesday,  a day when we link up to Julia's Stamping Ground and have a look to see what everyone has been doing.   Now this might seem impossible to you, but I have been blissfully unaware it was Wednesday till 5 minutes ago - oops!

We have had a bit of caravan trouble with water going back out into the Aqua roll (which contains the water).  We were having to turn the water on when we needed it and off afterwards.  The chap came out yesterday and he had to order a part so he came back today to fit it.  We had to wait a few days before he could come so it’s been a bit of a problem.  

There were several free arty sessions recently.  I saw Seth Apter doing a class for the first time, he , Drew and Tania were using the geli plate and I feel I have learned several things.  Seth was working with stamps, ink and paint also, I really enjoyed his session.

Forgive me for the lack of photographs, normality will resume next week!
