I didn't take very many photos at the crop and there are some that aren't that good... I will save most of them for Wednesday's Workdesk post, but can share these now.
I debated long and hard what to take with me - being unsure what I would feel like creating on the day... so this is the end result..
however I packed so much on top of the box, spare clothes wouldn't fit and I had to take a rucksack too...
On Friday afternoon, after lunch with Julia and her family, they had to pop out for a while, and I was left in charge of the craft room.... possibly a dangerous thing to do (and access to the computer for my twitter fix!!)
So I sat down (SAT down....) and played...
I also got a photo of her stunningly beautiful Paper Peony which was blooming away in the garden...
Thanks, Julia, Bart and Jen for making me so welcome and to everyone involved in making the crop such fun. See you all again next year...!

Looks like you had a fab weekend Helen! Missing you at the Extravaganza! xx
It sound like you had a great time Helen and I'm sure some lovely inky sessions.
Hope you have a good Sunday and get some sunshine.

What a dream come true. To work/craft at Julia's craft desk would have been such a thrill. And to join the crop must have been so much fun. So glad you enjoyed yourself. Of course, you know me. I'd have had to clean and organize before I could sit (or stand) to make art. Then Julia would probably never have found a thing, but it would be tidy, at which time Julia would never speak to me again. Just joking, of course. Seriously, it couldn't have happened to a nicer person.

Very condensed stash-packing! Personally I'd've stuffed extra stash rather than extra clothes in the backpack, but I guess if you're staying with people you probably need a change of clothing!! Glad you had a great time at the crop - look forward to hearing/seeing more later in the week.

It was a great day Helen and it was lovely to see you working away on your journal. You are cleaner with paint than I am!!
Great photo of you at Julia's desk and that Peony is stunning.
See you at the next one!

Hi Helen, was great to meet you on Saturday! And a pic if you working at J's Hallowed 'where it all started' desk!!
Glad you had a good journey back, more important the crafty case made it back ok - after all, you can always replace the clothes lol!!

Pffft clothes? Who needs clothes? I love that picture of you in Julia's craft room - how surreal was that then?
