WOYWW 263 - where we hope to welcome back Julia

Well, poor Julia - missing in action last week, poorly on holiday and undergoing surgery.. Hopefully there'll be a link up this week at the Stamping-Ground. Hope, even more, that you are recovering well, Julia, and taking it easy... ((hugs))

Since we last met properly, I have received another ATC from the anniversary swap, from Kezzy - it's fabulous, and thanks too for all the extras!

they are artfully posed on my square journal that I use for the Darcy Wilkinson Paperartsy monthly journal challenge and since I snapped the photo above, I've (finally) made a start on June's - check the original here - whilst this is what I've done so far... in front of the football, (as you know, I'm a BIG football fan, so the World Cup is great for me (too many late nights though!)
It will look much better soon, I promise!!

There will also be a Dragons Dream tag later this afternoon - my choice of theme this fortnight, and obviously I'm sworn to secrecy till then, about the choice of theme... suffice it to say, it features something I love lots right now (no, not football!) come back and see, why don't you...

Looking forward to catching up with your desks as soon as I can.

Oh so lovely ATC gift there and loving what you've been creating as always!

Neet said...

One of these days I will join in with that challenge (DD).
Wondering how that page is going to turn out - bet it will be something special knowing you.
Don't have too many late nights - ok when you can have later mornings but no good if you have to get up.
Take care
Hugs, Neet (26 I think) xx

I've had a few more ATCs drift in as well, but not as organized as you to share them. :) I still see some of your journal pages in my mind's eye - it was such a treat to see them IRL at the crop. I might have to browse back a bit and make an actual list :) I'll go to the Artistamp show in Newbury in July and it would be good to at least TRY to score a few of the things you've shown that I covet.... :D


Happy WOYWW!

Oooh...love your happy mail! I'm actually enjoying the World Cup too. Of course, soccer is not quite as huge here in the U.S., but it's always fun how a million more kids here in the U.S. sign up for soccer when they see all the fun and excitement surrounding the World Cup! Hugs! Happy WOYWW! Sandy Leigh #44

What a cutie that monster is! My kids are also football fans and have to wake up at 3 in the morning to watch some games. It was a sad day for them when Spain lost.
Happy WOYWW!

Hi Hels

what a lovely collection of ATC's you have gathered there - how lovely of the WOYWWers to send you all those lovely ATC's Helen.

Wonder how many you could make if you used a diffierent stamp each time - from the 'few' you own of course, lol.

Happy WOYWW
