WOYWW 680

 Good morning from a warm Sutton.  It's Wednesday again which can only mean one thing - WOYWW - do head to Julia's for the details and share your workspace.


I decided at the weekend it was high time I used some of the new Seth Apter stamps and paints whilst watching the cricket.  

it's been quite a while since I played in my A5 sized journal and it was fun!



But that is the total of my crafty activity this week 


Saturday's visit to Kew was colourful and sunny - check out the post here   it was poppy-tastic! 





that's all I have for you today -  happy WOYWW  and thanks for visiting.


Looks like this coming Saturday may see the breaking of the mini heatwave the south of the UK will have for the rest of this week, so it might be a wet one again; if I'm lucky it will be dry till I get home! At least it won't be as hot as it will be in southern Europe, for which i am grateful.

The number did confuse me a bit for a while! Pleased you had a nice weekend Helen. The weather here has been just right, not a lot of rain but not too warm either but that's Lincolnshire for you. The sun is out and it looks like it's going to be a nice day. Have a lovely woyww, Angela x10x

Fantastic Kew last week, I love poppies (except the californian - I find the yellow so garish).
Hope the rain does hold off for you, if not enjoy your crafting time.

A lovely journal page and your Kew photos are fantastic. It reminded me I used to grow astrantia. The poppies are gorgeous.

Looks like you had fun in your journal! Always fun trying out new stamps! I love poppies, but they don't seem to do well in my garden, so these photos are wonderful! Have a great week, Lindart #20

I love that art journal page, ánd the poppies (those are 'poppies' in English isn't it?) We have a little heatwave coming until Sunday, better stay inside as well (too hot for me!) Have a great week, love from the Netherlands! Marit #3

Nice page, and one will do, as long as you enjoyed the process, it doesn’t matter if it’s one page or a book full! Quite enjoyed the cricket at the weekend, although yesterday was v exciting wasn’t it! Will order a dry morning for you for Saturday, but can’t hold the thunderstorms back indefinitely!! Xx

Doesn't matter how much you do Helen as long as you enjoy it. Poppies (and tulips) are my favourite flowers. Both sadly fleeting but they speak to my soul. Hope it stays dry for you this week. Happy WOYWW, love n hugs Cindyxx #17
