I had to have a little reorganisation of my Paperartsy stamps at the weekend, because there are some more on the way to me - one set I ordered as a treat to myself, and the second I was lucky enough to win in the Paperartsy blog (check it out here if you haven't seen the fun that's going on there at the moment, with their guest design team) so I had to find a bigger box for them! Sadly, Royal Mail didn't try and leave them with a neighbour (or she was out) this time, so they are at the sorting office for me to pick up tomorrow! (or rather, today!)
Tuesday should have been craft club but it was soooo cold and meant to be wet so I had to let my SIL down and stayed home in the warm instead, so it was crafting on the floor (as usual) rather than at a nice table... I was working on my Craft Barn altered dictionary challenge which I would have taken to craft club with me... (see Tuesday's post) but here's a sneak
I'll try and get round as many of your desks as possible, as always!

How exciting is that? New stamps n the way! Wow! Great journal page- love using dictionary pages! Once, our old house got flooded and a huge dictionary got wet. I painstakingly dried the pages to save it! :^) patsy
I thought i had quite a few Paperartsy stamps until i saw yours , looks like your another fan of those stamps.

Happy WOYWW. I had a lovely set of Paperartsy stamps to sell, but someone else reserved them yesterday. They are gorgeous - no wonder you have such a collection. Ali x #8

I found a link yesterday on how to refurb books into journal books so will have to look for an old dictionary. Makes a fabulous background and love the eyes.. Look at the wonderful sets of stamps would love to dive in and have a stampathon with those.

What a yummy box of stamps!!! Makes you just want to dig in, lol! You're doing a marvelous job on your journal too. A shame you couldn't make it out, but we've had horrible weather here too. Where's SPRING already???
Happy Crafting!

About time you were on the PA DT huh? That's an impressive collection of stamps from one marque, I wonder if you have more in any other?
Know what you mean about turning out in the cold and wet..a bit different if you drive I guess.

I would LOVE to see your altered dictionary!! Is Paperartsy a UK brand? Love your box of those goodies. I don't like to get out in the cold at night either--I much prefer going to crafty gatherings in the summer! Happy WOYWW! Sandy Leigh #104
Just popping in to say Happy WOYWW. I'm late getting around to desks, and I need to be packing...LOL

Those eyes were following me around the screen!! Great journal page, love the whole thing :) have fun with all those stamps, hope you can squash the new arrivals in that box somehow!!
Hugs, LLJ 44xx
Hi, Helen -- I like how you used the blue buttons in the "eyes" on your dictionary page. That sounds like a really fun challenge. Your box of Paperartsy looks very neat and tidy. :) Happy WOYWW and thanks for visiting me. ~ Laura #123
A lovely lot of stamps for you to sort out. I am about half way through my Clarity stamps, cataloguing them and cross referencing so that I have some idea where they are. Thank you for your visit, and have fun with all those new stamps. xx Maggie #20
Love your dictionary page - the eyes are superb.
Trust me to miss out on fun with Leandra, cant really complain though as I have been holiday (still am until tomorrow) but congratulations on your win.
Thanks for the visit to my blog and happy WOYWW.
Hugs, Neet xx
Love the altered dictionary page, and I would have stayed home in the warm too....but I don't know how you manage to craft n the floor, my back and knees hurt just thinking about it!! Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by my blog, waving hi from the hills of North Carolina ♥
Now that's a serious amount of stamps, Helen. Isn't it a pain when you get home and see that red card which means your parcel has arrived but is now sitting in the PO, grrrr!!
Love the journal page.
Keep warm and Happy WOYWW
Hugs Lisax #54
Thanks for stopping by Helen and congrats on your win over at PTI! I love the organization of your stamps! I need to find a bigger box for mine running out of room. I want to order from them (PTI)but the decisions get too big! Tamika #125
I love your stamp organization, althouth that box may not be big enough for many more orders/wins. I like the little blue buttons peeking out like eyes in the "e"s of your aj. I also like the colors and layering. Thanks for popping by my blog. LisaDV #117
Wow Helen, with that many stamps you need to be organised. Loving the eyes they have been looking at me looking at them. Thanks for your visit. Happy WOYWW Hugs Mo x
WOW Helen that is a lovely collection of stamps you have there and so neatly stored. I really must get to mine as they are not very easy to find and not very well looked after frankly! Have fun with your new stamps and thank you for popping by Happy WOYWW to you from Helen 52
That's quite the box of stamps!! And your journal page is wonderful!!!
Happy WOYWW! Oh, thanks for visiting my space!

Hi Helen
I dont blame you for not wanting to go out, Brr
Your eye page is fab, love the colouring.
Very impressive storage for your stamps, you have to love them dont you.

Good Grief Helen!!! Do you need some err professional help? That is an addiction there!!
Can I come and play? Tee Hee!
Love the dictionary page. I keep meaning to join in that one!

I'm not jealous, I'm not... ok, just a bit cabbage looking then... what a lot of lovely Paperartsy stamps!! Love the eyes journal page with the wire effect across the eyes... reminds me of the ladies in Saudi wearing their hijabs. Annette 18
Hi Helen - thanks for the visit - only reason the floor looks OK is it got a hoover before the photo!!!
Love the collection of PaperArtsy stamps - I love 'em too but they've taken a back seat at the moment until I run out of steam on the sewing!
That's a great page!!
Have a great week

Hi there,Helen, just a quick visit to see what you are up to. Unfortunately, the EM is unwell and needs looking after so time is limited today. Don't you just hate it when packages go back to the sorting office - I just itch to see what I've missed :) Love what you've done with the letter 'e' on your journal page. Hope your WOYWW has been happy. Elizabeth x #55
What an amazing collection of stamps there Helen,
But they all look beautifully organised.
I have every sympathy for you in the cold. I haven't been in a UK winter for quite some years now and think I'd probably hibernate! ;D
Have a great WOYWW desk hop and thanks for nipping over to my place earlier.
Neesie ♥ #7
Helen your box looks amazing! What fun stamps. I haven't seen the whole of the journal but I love the page you have shown. Thanks for stopping by my blog for my first WOYWW!
Thank you for already making it by the Playhouse, Helen! I love your journal page and your wonderful stamp organization! I would say that Paperartsy owes you a commission (more free stamps!!)Have a wonderful week!! Darnell #47
Brilliant journal page Helen - and can I just say you have a stunning collection of stamps there - presumably all Paperartsy ones. Which means there must be hundreds of other ones out of shot.
Belated Happy WOYWW, hugs, Di xx #51
So many Paperartsy stamps and more to come! I have definite stamp envy! Your page is fabulous - I haven't done mine yet! Thank you for visiting my desk and have a fab week xx
That all looks very organised, Helen - a great collection of stamps, and what a beautiful dictionary page. Very subtle colours and textures.
Thanks for your lovely comment - we are hoping the move goes smoothly. There's a huge amount of sorting and packing to do but we'll get through it, I've no doubt. I am sending my hubby out on banana box hunts around the local supermarkets and I've already filled 4! It will be a while before I'm in my new ARTHaven, though, and all creativity apart from Zentangles will have to be on hold for a while.
Happy belated WOYWW,
Shoshi
Ooh, that is cool! And I have no idea at all about Paper Artsy stamps, bet we can't get them here in the states so I better not even have a look or I'll be for wanting them badly! lol :) Thanks for stopping by my blog already and leaving me a comment. :) Deeyll #42
Hi Helen. It is always exciting to get a craft parcel in the post. hope you managed to get out to collect it today. I'm sorry the weather was too unkind to get to your craft club. makes me feel very privileged living here in Spain. (We complain when the wind is cold!).
Thanks for dropping by my blog. Sorry i am so late doing the rounds this week. Kate x #71
Looks like your stamp collection is all organized now. I'm jealous. Your journal page is awesome.
April #133
Helen, I should organize my stamps better...maybe I would not still be looking for the lost penguin stamp LOL! Happy WOYWW! Sue Kment
Thanks for stopping by my blog, I'm so late this week.
O M Goodness Helen, HOW MANY PA stamps!!!! you lucky devil lol and well done on sorting them x
Hugz Minxy #29
Ooh, look how organised those stamps are - and how many!! Missed the WOYWWing for the last couple of weeks, just too much on my plate, but this seemed as good a post as any to say I've no idea why I'm not already signed up as a follower - but I'm just off to sort that out!!
