Thanks so much. Lovely to have you pop by again. Hope you’re having a great week? Big hugs C xx

@@oakhousejournals I'm actually having a bit of a dodgy week healthwise, but 'this too shall pass' as my grandmother used to say!! Nothing drastic thankfully.

Oh Jennifer, I'm so sorry to hear that. That's very stoic of you to say but actually both my mum and grandmother used that saying at they were sage ladies, the pair of them. It's good advice and I hope by the time you're reading this you are feeling a little better. Bug hugs and lots of TLC. C xx

Thank oil so much Amy. Pleased you liked it. Hugs C xx

That really is so kind of you to say, Elaine. Thank you and have a wonderful week. Hugs from me. C xx

Thanks so much Pat. Hugs from me. C xx

Thank you for popping by again Kimberley. Thank you too for the lovely comment. Hopeyou're enjoying your week? Hugs from me, as always. C xx

@@oakhousejournals thanks Carol, yes I am having a good week.

Aww thanks Anita. So pleased you liked the end result and yep, that little stone bridge is a special place for me. It's so pretty too. Have a fabulous week and happy crafting. Big hugs from me, as always. C xx

@@oakhousejournals thank you Carol, and you too as well.

It's one of mine too. Always so calming. Glad you liked the end result for this week's assignment. Have a wonderful week and happy crafting. Hugs C xx

That is so kind of you. That corner definitely needed 'something' to soften it, didn't it. If I'm honest it was pure luck those three stamps layered so well....lol. I'm looking forward to seeing your assignment for this week later tonight when the chores are out of the way and I can relax and have a treat....lol. Thanks so much for popping by again and have a lovely week. Hugs from me. C xx

Hope you have had a wonderful time with your family,Jennifer and now you can have fun catching up on your crafting videos....win win😊 So pleased you liked this little one. Definitely a fun one to try and I was happy with it in the end. despite a wee wrestle with that sweetie wrapper! TFW and have a lovely week. Hugs C xx

@@oakhousejournals 😀

Ha ha, it was a bit beyond me too, Wendy. Bits kept dropping off here and there. It was like confetti on my craft room floor 😃 Thanks so much for watching and joining me again. Bless you. Have a wonderful week and hugs from me. C xx

Ha ha, I was determined to make those stamps work in one way or another ... just fluke they worked layered up like that, if I'm honest. Thanks so much for joining me again and have a lovely week. Big hugs C xx

Thanks so much Susan. Can't wait to see what you've created for this week's MM assignment. I'll have to exercise patience as it will be tonight before I can check your channel..groan. Have a lovely week. Big hugs from me, as always. C xx

Thanks for popping by again Linda. Really pleased you liked my take on this week's MM's prompts. Big hugs C xx

Ha ha, thought you might. It's gorgeous. I was determined to make use of those stamps in one way or another and it was just fluke they worked together layered like that. As for that fussy cutting... Hmm that was a bit beyond me. Bits kept dropping off and the craft room floor was like a confetti shower with them 😃. Thrilled you like the end result, Sis. BIG HUGS C xx

@@oakhousejournals ... you were very brave to even attempt that cutting, even I would have given up on that one.

Awww that really is so very kind of you to say. Thank you so much and for popping by again. I'm in the thick of the house move at the moment so my craft video watching is confined to last thing at night. It's teaching me patience as I'm really looking forward to seeing what you've chosen for your prompt pieces this week and seeing you finished collage. Have a wonderful week and hugs from me. C xx

Thanks for the lovely comment Pamela. If I can do MM's challenge anyone can. It's great fun both finding the prompt items to use and creating the actually collage using them. A friend gave me a 'gentle' nudge to give the challenge by treating me to one of MM's planners a couple of years ago and from there on in I was hooked doing these assignments each week. So be careful, it's addictive 😄 Enjoy. Hugs C xx

Vicki thanks os much for watching and leaving me such a kind comment. Bless you. Hugs C xx

Oh my goodness, bless you for such wonderful comment, Anita. I am so very flattered you like what I create and to have you watching each week. BIG hugs C xx

Awww bless you Amy. I really am so flattered that you like what I create and to have you watching. Bless you. BIG hugs C xx

Bonjour Fabienne, merci d'avoir regardé et pour votre adorable commentaire. J'espère que vous passez une bonne semaine. Câlins Cxx

Good it's coming across like that. It's all panic and frantic thinking about placement this end 🤣 I really should take more time to work out my compositions before I turn on the camera! Bless you for watching and leaving that lovely comment, Pauline. Hugs C xx

Thanks so much Susan. That is a pretty little book that I found in a charity shop one day. It's actually fascinating to read too... as I pull pages and images out, as you do......lol. Big hugs C xx

Awww thanks so much for that kind comment Sandy. TFW and have a great week. Hugs C xx

As always I'm thrilled you liked it Pat. Working in the wrapper was a bit of a nightmare as I'd boxed myself into a corner by leaving it's placement so late on in the composition but in the end it works to make the girl stand out a bit better from the woodland background, I think. TFW and big hugs from me. C xx

Thank you so much and thank you too for watching. Have a great week. Hugs from me C xx

Have to say I was with you on the doubt issue. Working in that wrapper was a nightmare and I'm not so sure it works in the end but at least it makes that gardening girl stand out from the woodland background better. Thanks for watching... can't believe YET ANOTHER week has gone by! Soz. BIG hugs and lots of news will eventually be shared...lol. C xx

@@oakhousejournals ... I get it, I'm happy to wait.

Felt a little bit of a struggle this week but I got there in the end. TFW and have a great week. Hugs C xx

@oakhousejournals thank you and I hope your week is good as well.

My finished assignments are more picture collages rather than the ones that MM does. I know that but I'm having fun playing with all the prompts each week and I kind of figured it was my journal so doing what makes me happy is the important thing. TFW and have a great week, Linda. Hugs C xx

Oh that sweetie paper!!!! Nightmare trying to make it work on my piece this week......lol. TFW and have a great week. Hugs C xx

TFW and have a great week, Vanessa. Hugs C xx

As always, so flattered you liked it. TFW and have a great week. Hugs C xx

Awww thanks so much yet again for your kind comment and for popping by. Can't wait to see your take on this week's prompts. TFW and have a great week. Hugs C xx

oh that sweetie wrapper was a nightmare to work in .... left it a little late and then 'boxed' myself in with what I could do with it. Think it worked in the end and highlighted my girl who was a little lost against the background. It was fun to 'play' with the prompts again this week. Looking forward to seeing your take on them. TFW and have a great week . Hugs C xx

Aww thanks so much. Thrilled you liked it. Big hugs & enjoy your Sunday. C xx

No worries!

Hi Pamela, if you go to my Playlist for #CWP2022 you'll see, right at the end, a video called 'Rebinding my planner' ( czcams.com/video/49cs5nMWHds/video.html) It gives full instructions on how I took MM's planner apart and created my new journal using an old book. I used the same method for binding all my 2023 #CWP assignments and I'll be doing exactly the same again this year. Hope you find it helpful. Hugs C xx

Hi Pamela, I replied to your other comment giving this information for you, but here is the link again: czcams.com/video/49cs5nMWHds/video.html Cut and paste it into your browser and it will bring up the video you want. It's called 'rebinding my planner' but if you watch it through it's all about taking the planner apart and creating bindings for the completed 2022 collage assignments so they can be bound into an old book. You don't have to use an old book, as I did. You could create your own covers and spine. It was just easier for me to use what I had to hand and that was an old Encyclopaedia. Hope this helps. Hugs C xx

Thanks so much Amy. Hope you're having a great week. Hugs C xx

Thanks so much Kimberley. Thrilled you liked the end result. Have a great week and hugs. C xx

Thank you so much. So pleased you liked the end result. Have a wonderful week and hugs from me. C xx

Awwww thanks Susan. Bless you. Big hugs C xx

Ha ha..... thanks for endorsing that positive affirmation of mine. Bless you. Thank you too for the lovely comment. Hope you're enjoying your week too. BIG hugs C xx

Ha ha 🤣 Oh my goodness you had me chuckling hard here after reading your comment. Thank you, you made my day. Hugs C xx PS age is just a number or at least I keep trying to sell myself that it is....lol.

Sandy that was so kind of you to say. Thank you. Have a great week and hugs from me. C xx

Thanks you so much. I'm flattered you liked it. Have a great week and big hugs from me. C xx

Awww that's lovely of you sis. Hope all is well.... that email will get there eventually.....lol. Big hugs to all. C xx

@@oakhousejournals ... yep, all is great here. I'm guessing that you guys are super busy? ... can't wait to hear all the news.

Crazy mad busy and I thought we were prepared too! C xx

@@oakhousejournals ... so the move is on???

Have to say I thought they were gorgeous colours on that image too. TFW Pat and hugs from me. C xx

I loved that image and the colours too. When I saw it I knew I wanted to work with it on my piece this week. Thrilled you liked the end result. TFW and hugs C xx

Thanks so much Jennifer. Big hugs and have a great week. C xx
