This is scheduled for your viewing horror. Luckily, when I get home, I really do PLAN to tidy up. Unless somebody can come up with an alternative that isn’t housework, that is. Last week was a write off for me, I hope you’ll forgive. I’m battling an ongoing trapped nerve in my shoulder and some days are written off simply by doing the normal chores of day to day house-ness. I’ve got medical assistance now,(Mr Dunnit got tired of the yelps and bad tempered lack of sleep). So this weekend, I took part in an online crop and made a huge mess . It was great. Price to be paid....so much clearing up to do before month end! But, here’s something - some of you were involved without knowing it! Ignore the wonky placement of the background words, I genuinely cannot do straight or even anymore. But I don’t much care. Scrapping Crop 10 made me smile. So I did another, unfinished for now....I have to put the story on it....there’s so much to say that it may well go on a separate sheet of paper clipped to the back of the LO, not sure yet.
The colours are stuffed up by a rubbish photographer, but you get the gist. Now sweet Desker, gimme the gist of your work space this week then, please. And by gist, I mean the hi-low, history and current, the what’s On, what’s In with you. Now that’s clear, see ya later.
I am sorry about the trapped nerve, hope it frees up soon. I love the layouts - who needs straight anyway - and await the finished views soon. Don't have much gist for you but am joining in!
Morning Julia. Ouch - trust the trapped nerve will soon find its way out of wherever it has got itself, and that you will feel much better. Phew! Thought I was the only person in the world who struggles with straight! Thank goodness I have a partner in crime. Good to be reminded of a fantastic day!! Take care dear girl. God bless. Margaret #3
As you can imagine, you have my sympathy re the rapped nerve. Hope you get it fixed quickly and not get into a mess like yours truly. Love your LO's - as for wonky, well, I thought I was the Queen of Wonky so if I had been doing something like that the words would have purposely been wonkier than wonky. Just to make it look as if it was intentional. Get what I mean? Have a good week and get that shoulder right - heat/ice/rest. Hugs, Neet 2 xx
Take 2, dopey lost first comment! Oh dear Julia.. Praying you find a good clinician who'll help you with your treatment of pinched nerve. Mrs A is badly affected by shoulder issues too. They hurt. I found my physio exercises helped with impinged movement of rotator cuff.. but ignorant on pinched nerves. Praying. Feel do at home on your desk.. wonderful! Love your LO too.. super images (yes pink is worst culprit to accurately reproduce in any photo!) And love esp crop words.. i love the arty layout and yes.. random positioning is in y'know! Apt words too. ❤ Happy WOYWW, and every blessing upon you dear Julia, Queenof WOYWW. Hugs, Shaz in Oz.x #4
Oh I feel for you with the trapped nerve Julia, it's the pins and needles that are doing me in, as the painkillers have things otherwise mostly under control. Love the crop layouts and don't care about wonkiness at all. Happy WOYWW. Sarah #7
I can’t see any wonkiness-just some creative stamping! I loved seeing you wearing your crown and the photos bring back such happy memories of the crop. Hope the medication helps the trapped nerve.
So sorry to hear you're in pain, let's hope the meds work quickly and you're free to go ten pin bowling again very soon! Those are fab LOs and a great reminder of a fab day. I bet you still secretly wear that tiara round the house. 😉 Hugs LLJ 7 xx
Hi Julia, so sorry to hear you're in pain I know how this sort of thing can take over and stop you from doing many things you would want to do but hopefully it will get better. Loving the layouts any wonkiness just adds to their creativity. Have a happy woyww, Angela x8x
Bad shoulder or not I think what you’ve created is lovely and made me smile. What a wonderful reminder of a fabulous day. Tkaencaren of yourself Mrs D. Love from someone else who can’t do straight lines 😂😂 Lynn // 9
Sorry to hear about your shoulder....hope it improves quickly for you. Also sorry I was MIA last week. I’ve already written my 100 lines...”I must do better......” Just sometimes life get in the way doesn’t it? Big hugs, Annie x
Ouch, trapped nerves are awful....really hope it gets sorted soon. Love the layouts from the crop, they are fabulous, as was the day. Funnily enough the crop is going to be the next page in my project life journal - hopefully I will manage to complete it this week although don't hold your breath! Take care of yourself Mrs. With love & God Bless, Caro x (#11)
Julia, I'm so sorry you are struggling with pain issues. Nerve problems are the very worst! I love your layouts and sigh thinking now I wish I could do that but Scrapbooking is just not for this old broad! I did some years ago but I was never good at it and always had such a mess with my whole craft room involved so I salute you and your abilities! Glenda #16
Oh no Julia, so sorry to hear of that trapped nerve.. but good for you soldiering on with the crafting. Wonky is a personal thing and what I class as a touch of genius to tilt our heads and observe more. What a great way to capture the WOYWW crowd. Happy WoywW Hugs Tracey #15 P.S Hope your feeling better soon xx
Morning Julia. The pain you must be suffering is one of the worst. I had that many years ago now and could hardly concentrate. Love busy desk from you this Wednesday. Hope you have an easier week and the pain gets more manageable for you. Hugs Rita xxx
Hi Julia, that must be painful, I somehow tore a tendon in my upper right arm at a COPD exercise class of all things, and recall how lifting anything, or reaching my arm up hurt like hell. Hope the medical assistance helps relieve it soon. Love the crop layout, didn't we have a fab time as always? Tidying up- oh how I hate it, but clearly not enough to prevent me making an almighty mess again next time! Love & hugs, Shaz #4 XxXxXx
Oh so sorry you are struggling with a trapped nerve - it's nasty isn't it. I hope it's not the weight of the tiara causing problems! Lovely LOs. Get well soon. xx Jo
Ouch! Sorry to hear about the trapped nerve. Hope your medical assistance is easing it. I've been there and had to have a steroid injection - it's been as right as rain since. Two gorgeous layouts of The Crop. Summer seems to have gone by in no time at all thanks to the various cyber crops and online challenges and now it seems an age since we all got together. I've only just shed the last of that cake of my hips. I'm happily imagining you swanning round the house wearing your WOYWW crown :) Hugs, Elizabeth x #19
Good morning, Miss Julia. I'm sorry you're dealing with a trapped nerve. Those are painful. The layouts are pretty. Wish I could have been in that first one. I think you ladies have a lot of fun. Creative Blessings - Kelly
I hope your nerve gets unpinched soon! That sounds awful! Fun pages! Such great memories need to be preserved. I need to make pages of the crop/retreat I just attended... someday. LOL! Thanks for popping by and feel better soon! Carol N #21
Hi Julia - Glad you managed to set aside the twin distractions of the horrible trapped nerve and the dreaded chores of day-to-day house-ness to do something lovely that made you smile. I can definitely relate to both the ouchiness and the house-ness at the moment, and agree that making something smileworthy is a real joy. Amelia #29
I love those layouts, ain't it fun to work with photos that has those amazing memories? The 'feel' of the day gets into your layouts! Good luck with tidying and hope you feel better soon. Love from Holland, Marit #14
