WOYWW 218

Good morning/afternoon/evening and happy WOYWW day... The best day of the week, not only because we're halfway to another weekend but the day we all get to nose round desks and cupboards and floors (I'm not the only one any more!) thanks to Julia's brainchild idea.

Anyhow, for once I've been making stuff.
A double page journal spread (see yesterday's post for the full info)


and I'm getting ready for the Stamperama stamp show at Stevenage on Sunday - ticket ready, train times ready, woyww badge ready, notebook... and
the gorgeous crate is going on the recycling "I can do something fab with this" pile - it's from a 1kg bumper box of cherries I bought at the weekend (not only for the box, honest, I love cherries!)

 last week I was lucky enough to win a blog giveaway from the so so kind Jo (Jozart) and look how fab the parcel is..... wonder what was inside... shall we see?!  it was like Christmas!!!
 some bunting (so pretty, shame I made such a mess of it taking it out of the packet... lol. It is sorted out now!) and loads of other goodies... Thanks so much Jo - I will love using this!! And when I can find a hammer the bunting will be up in the hallway, as I told you..Promise I won't fall off anything putting it up!
so that's me today. thanks for your visits and comments last week, next week as you may have gathered I will have (lots!) new things to show you from the show at Stevenage.... !! Till then, have a good week.

I adore your artful blooms. I saw the post below and got all the deets. I've been a bit lax lately, because I've been doing Tea (grin).

Lucky you to win Jo's giveaway. You got some absolutely gorgeous things. Christmas indeed.

I saw your comment on Julia's tea post. Did you get a photo of the rocker? I am sure it's stunning, because I've seen photos of other work by Mr. Dunnit.

happy early WOYWW.

Bloomin' lovely :) and thanks for the fair warning of your upcoming shop. Now I don't know if I should avoid or embrace the envy :)
Love the AJ too, One of my fave things about WOYWW is getting in to the habit of visiting regularly. So easy to forgo blog hopping in deference to actual crafting, but on WOYWW day I know I'll MAKE the time!

Happy WOYWW!
