Here is a close up of the ID card which used a free template designed by a guy called Muggle Magic DIY. The folder at the back is a little folder that the ID card fits in.
I haven't done a lot of crafting this week as I have been away again - this time to my parents in Somerset to collect Alex who had been there for a week, and to see my brother and his family. When the weather was good enough we went for some lovely walks...
...including waving at the trains - the boys were very happy that three trains 'dee-dahed' them and five drivers waived at them.
We also picked loads of blackberries, raspberries, plums, apples, runner beans, french beans, tomatoes, lettuce and courgette fresh from the garden and surrounding area... there is nothing nicer! Have a great week everyone.
Love
Caro

A great workspace there - happy crafting Ellie. xx Jo #14
what a fabulous week! glad you got to get out a bit too. About a year or so ago when I was on the train to Kew Gardens, I passed a youngish girl and her dad playing tennis on a court by the track.. the girl waved at the train and you should have seen the look of astonishment on their faces as I waved back!! Hope when you do Alex's school stationery shopping you "oops I need one" for yourself too.... you know you want to!
Great makes Caro. Looks like you all had a super time in Somerset. Happy Days! Anne x #15

Hi Caro, lovely for you to spend the last few days of the holidays with your family. I'm kinda looking forward to the start of school again, although it means more hectic mornings. Love your 5-minute page - I didn't spot the tissue paper at first -I thought it was random ink marks! Looks really good! Thanks for your visit earlier - enjoy the last few days of summer! zsuzsa #24
Your journal page looks like you spent ages doing it! Karen 21
Those tissue papers in your journal are gorgeous, such rich colours. Have a great woyww and hugs, Angela x9x
Hi Caro. Lovely to see you here today. It sounds like you have all had a great summer - read back a week - sorry to learn your hubby's mobility is shrinking somewhat. Some great photos today of your activities. Your 5minute challenge is incredible - well done.
Take care. God bless.

Hi Caro, certainly looks lovely weather in Somerset. It rained when we went to Keswick, ah well, I should be used to it! The ID card is lovely, I'm sure Alex will love it! Thanks for stopping by earlier and have a lovely week Heather x #11
What a fun post! Great art with the clean up tissue. I Love to use the wet baby wipes that I use for clean up on CS for backgrounds.
Have a great week! #33
Hi Caro, Your son is lucky to have such an inventive crafting mum. The Hogwarts ID is fab.
Glad you had such a nice time with your family and the boys enjoyed waving at the train drivers and some waved back. Great that some even 'dee'dahed' them.
Thanks for stopping by my blog.
Happy WOYWW

Hi Caro, looks like Alex had a great time all round. That 5 minute project is amazing; I love it. Happy WOYWW. Sarah #18
I really enjoyed seeing what you got up to - lovely pics of the family walking and train waving (that takes me back to when my boys were small!) The Harry Potter card was great and thanks for the blog heads up!

Happy memories of when dad used to work on the railway and I knew a lot of the other workers as a child.
Love the five minute page - gosh, that is worth a lot of time being spent on something - love it!
Hugs & Thanks for the visit to mine - Neet 4 xx
Very cool stuff on your post! I love the ID card. My kids would love that. And your 5 minute journal page is fabulous! Dorlene #31
Ooooh... are the blackberries ready to pick? I must go to the dunes (at the seaside) then as I know they grow there and I just LOVE it!! Going for walks, exploring nature and surroundings, is a good way to spend time with family and friends! After painting (the lilac case) my beloved and I spend some quality time last week too going for walks and such so I’m pretty late with my visit, it’s almost weekend already! Enjoy, enjoy. Love from the Netherlands. Marit #20
Hi Caro, looks like you had a fab week away. Love the art journal project, so vibrant. Have a lovely week, Hugs, Shaz #6 X
Hi Caro, what a wonderful amount of fruit and veg to pick, reminds me of my childhood. Glad you had a great week away. It will soon be back to school again, the Summer holidays go by so quickly.
Thanks for sharing WOYWW.

Love the Hogwards ID. Alex does look like he'd be a Potter fan, for sure. What a great treat and a simple pleasure to see the trains and their waves acknowledged. Great fruit haul. So far I've frozen peaches this year to be turned into jam when weather is cooler. Next on my list is apples. The weather has been so hot that the garden didn't do much. Creative Blessings! Kelly #27
