WOYWW

Wednesday again. Today I'm going to get everything done before 1pm so that I can sit and watch the very funny Marion Emberson on QVC. She's doing a clearance show and although I shan't be buying anything, she's so funny and her style is clean and simple, which I love. I'm going to try a link to her page now: Sugar and Spice 
So, what's on my table today?
I couldn't decide if I should scrap,sew,make cards or tidy up today. What you can see at the front is a scrapbook page I made using pictures of my boys on Christmas day. I'm not a scrapbooker but I've decided to start. The boxes are full of October Afternoon papers and goodies which I received from America before Christmas. They so need sorting. At the back of my table are my papers and books from yesterday's lesson, I'm an English language teacher, which haven't been put away yet. I've decided to make a couple of cards today and it's my friend's birthday on the 10th and I also discovered that it's a new friend's birthday on that day too. Now she really is a talented scrapbooker and I would love to be as good as her one day. I'm going to try another link now! I think some of you WOYWW people know her LJJ Well I hope that works!
Here is a closer picture of my scrapbook page, be gentle with me I'm a beginner!(can't unhighlight now!!)
And one last picture of the mess which is my table:

Well, I'm off now to get all those little things done before I can sit on my bum for two hours.
Happy Wednesday everybody.
Thanks for stopping by.

  1. Oh my goodness Jaki! You have just totally made my day!! Thank you so much! I found you on the WOYWW list and it all worked with all the linking - well done! Loving your page too. I'll have a closer look when I get a mo (I'm booked in for QVC watching too later on ;-)) but definitely loving that bunting!

  4. Well done. Your desk is much busier than mine! You will enjoy scrapbooking, and soon you won't want to stop. I love using photos of my sons (I have five)and I am gradually making a scrapbook for each of them of their lives so far. One of the best things about scapbooking is that there is no 'right' or 'wrong'. it is just how you want to remember things or represent them. So don't compare your pages with anyone else's. just work on it until you are happy with the result, and enjoy doing it. Kate x

  5. That's a nice, wide table to play on!!! Your scrapbook page looks like it's coming along nicely. I'm a beginner in some things and you won't find a nicer bunch than the people that join in on WOYWW.

    Happy New Year!

  8. I've started scrapbooking as well and love it - as someone said above, there is no right or wrong, it's what you like that counts but on saying that your page looks great!

  11. That is a totally rocking beginner page! I could totally scare you with the level of beginnerness (is that a word?!) with which I started! How cool to be an English language teacher! Have fun with the birthday cards! -Amanda 28

  15. I think that is an excellent first attempt at scrapbooking. I think you could look at scrapbook pages as enormous card fronts with photos. Maybe. I'm not into scrapbooks myself either.
