There are one or two pics that didn't make my report...
I collected some stamps that Julia had put aside for me from clearing her Mama's stash...
and some atc's and tree decoration from Mary-Anne from the crop - I am ashamed to say the thought didn't even cross my mind this time!
thanks to Christine, Mary-Anne, Dolores, Erika and Margaret.
and in between making Christmas cards (mostly the grumpy penguins - happy enabling) I did finish the journal page that so many of you thought was finished as it was... well it could have been finished... but I felt it was crying out for a Paperartsy monster - talking to PearshapedChris at the crop, she said she'd cut one out and crossed his legs.... the idea was born.
I had a JoFY Paperartsy Christmas set with me... a bit of tweeking with the inking of the word and....
I had to nick this picture that Jan took of me and Chris at crop, just before I left...
See you at a desk near here very soon! head to Julia for the link
oh, and I seem to have come down with a cold since the weekend... if any of you from Saturday end up with one too - I am really sorry!!

Oh dear, so many colds about - and they seem to be ending up on people's chests so be careful.
Does the journal page say what I think it says? Wonder who thought that one up??? LOL
Not surprised you had to include that photo of you and Chris but I smiled more at a memory of when I wore over the knee boots - in days when we wore mini skirts but that is another story and probably before your time.

Thanks for sharing

You and Chris look like top models for a design magazine. I LOVE that photo of you two. Your boots are killer! And you made out like a bandit with those ATCs. Since the crop was pushed ahead so much, I didn't have a chance to send any to Julia to pass out to people.
Hi Helen, great post and gab photo. Have a good week and happy woyww, Angela x 17
I really enjoyed all the crop pics. It's so lovely that soooooo many friendships have been made thanks to the blogging world. Life should be full of days like that.
Hugs,

Oh I am sorry that you're full of cold :-(. Stay in and keep warm. That monster journal page made made hoot - I didn't realise at first how you'd tweaked the sentiment!!
And you looked amazing on Saturday, those boots were fab - I really love that pic of you and Chris!!

I see my earlier comment never materialised!
Love that card, makes me smile just thinking of it. What a superb photo of you and Chris! Thank you for sharing the photo.....:-)

Have a good week

Hi Helen. Thanks for popping by to say hello. I am enjoying all the photos of the crop, it all sounds/looks such fun. Maybe one day ! Your boots are fab u lous - I couldn't wear them as my legs are too short and too fat lol Anne x #19
It sounds as if you all had a wonderful time, Helen, and what fun it must have been, meeting up with everyone. I sometimes feel a tad cut off, right down here in Devon, so far from the action! Sorry to hear you got a cold afterwards and hope it clears up soon. The weather has got really cold which doesn't help. Thank you for your lovely comment - very encouraging! I've still got loads to do on that project and I found some more photos lurking today, which need mounting on their pages. Then it's decision time, as to what else I do on them! I have no idea what will happen with the Skype call tomorrow so I've laid out loads of my work all around my studio - we shall see!
Happy WOYWW,
Shoshi #23
Sounds like the crop was a load of un and full of creativity. Great shot of the 2 of you. All the best!
Thanks for stopping by
Nope definitely didn't visit earlier! But I have now. I did see "the boots" on other blogs though, very nice I must say. Loving the little guy taken short - LOL. Thanks for visiting me before I visited you despite thinking I had LOL BJ#28
Good morning Helen. Sorry i am getting around a day later yesterday with errands the day flew by before I noticed. Seen so many pictures from the crop you attended and looks like such fun you all had. Those are wonderful stamps given to you, very sweet of Julia. As soon as I saw your art journal page had to gigggle and I just love the creature you used and what a great idea to make him sit with the legs crossed. The background I also love......your work is trully gorgeous love peeking in to all your creations. Thanks for visiting me earlier and have a wonderful week. Hugs Always ~Anne L#15
Hi Helen, Glad you had such a nice time at the crop.
Thanks for stopping by my blog.

Happy Belated WOYWW - it is getting very late to be on my laptop, but today has been another very busy day. I will go and read the Crop posts now. Looks like a lot of fun (and cakes) was had. Ali x #29
Sorry to hear you're under the weather too - here's hoping we're both getting it well out of the way so that Christmas is cold-free! I did spot the fabulous photo of Hamish in passing somewhere, and I'm looking forward to catching up with more tales from the crop soon. I know I must have missed lots of treats here, but I'm looking forward to some proper catching-up time over the festive season.
