Good Morning to you all,

Hello fellow crafters, how are we all?

Been lovely here today, raining and blowing a

gale, blown all my potted trees in the garden 

over several times.  Have left them lying down

now....just not worth keep picking them up.

Stupid weather....it's supposed to be summer

but have you noticed the evenings are getting

darker earlier, by 9.00 pm now.

Autumn is nearly here....

Well anyway it is Sunday and it is 

Challenge Day!!

This time it is the new letter for

our Alpha/Dictionary Challenge....

what will it be.....

As usual the DT have had their say

Morning Campers,

How are you all?

Hope you have something nice planned

for the weekend....my family are all going

paintballing today....I might go and

have a laugh watching them but don't 

think I shall join in....I'm not that mad.

They came back with some wicked bruises

 last time!

But then again, I might have a quiet

day at home sorting out my huge amount

of stash.  Really need a good declutter.

I have so much now, some is 20 years old 

and if I haven't used it yet then I'm pretty

sure I'm not going to!

Well, it's Sunday and Challenge Day,

it's our new letter today for the 

Alpha/Dictionary Challenge.

Hopefully the link is still behaving and 

will close tonight at midnight for the 

last letter.  I will check after to make

sure that everyone who entered on the last

link but then their pic disappeared, is not 

forgotten.  I will have to add their pics

after and give them a number.

So what is our new letter to be....

ooh you are not going to like this one,

actually on second thoughts it is not so bad!

There are worse!

The DT have chosen...

Z

they didn't give you a twist but you know

what, it's been too easy lately and I see 

from Karen's picture that she has added a 

pearl, so I'm going to say....

Z with a pearl!

Karen as usual has made a

lovely addition to her frame...

You know the rules by now, two weeks to

enter as many times as you like.  Entry 

via the link where possible which will close

at midnight on Sunday 21st August.

If you can't use the link then please send

your pics to me at

janecraftbarn@gmail.com

and I will add them for you.

Your project needs to include a word

beginning with the letter Z and include

somewhere a pearl or pearls.

The winner will be picked by Random 

Generator and announced on 

Tuesday 23rd August.  The winner will

receive a £10 price voucher.

Good luck everyone and enjoy the rest

of the weekend, wherever you are!!

Hello, Hello, Hello

Summer is here at last!

Hope you've all got some nice things

planned for the weekend.

And holidays too?

Well enjoy the sunshine while it is

here, who knows how long it will 

be with us, in fact I think the south 

is probably doing better than the north!

Don't like these hot nights though,

bad enough trying to sleep with 

hot flushes!! Ha ha!

So, it is Sunday and Challenge Day.

This week it is time for the new letter

to add to our Alpha/Dictionary Challenge.

The DT have had their say and our

new letter is.......

C

No twists you'll be pleased to hear!

Karen has been busy as usual and made....

C for camera.

Another lovely addition for her tray.

Ok, you have two weeks to enter 

as many times as you like.  The link will 

close at midnight 7th August.

If you can't use the link then send your

The winner will, as usual, be picked

by Random Generator and will be announced

beginning with the word C and also

have somewhere a definition of the 

word you have chosen.  It can be

a Dictionary definition or one you have made 

up yourself!

All clear??  Of course it is!

day, she does so well for her age, I do

a cup of tea catching up with the soaps

on TV!!  And Prince Philip too, he is 

marvelous, always there to support her!

So, back to business....
