What a great week last week's WOYWW was, I think I visited every desk again - and only missed being able to comment on the Google + sites. But already it's Wednesday again and we gather for some more desk sharing.. the link is here, at
Julia's
I am working on a RAK - it's apparently RAK week next week, (Random act of Kindness) and a small group I am in (yes, the girls I go to workshops etc with) decided we'd do a small swap between us. So I have a work in progress (the canvas sitting on my pots of gels and mediums) Can't show you any more as the recipient may see it before she knows who it's coming from! Plus of course, I haven't got far with it!
I am also playing in my journal again, I have been playing with a stamp from one of Lin Brown's new releases for Paperartsy
It's a gorgeous stamp of a wild grass of some kind.. and I have stamped it as you see, multiple times in different blues (and a brown for contrast)
Added some words from another stamp from the set that I cut up and glued to the page... not sure if the page is finished yet, maybe - maybe not!
Sunday is the stamp show at Stevenage, aptly called Stamperama. It's a great little show, one of my favourites, not too far from home and lots of great exhibitors. I'll be topping up my Paperartsy supplies!! It also means I get to catch up with some friends again, as well as watch great demos.
You know what that means, lots of new stuff to share next week (and on Sunday, too if you're keen as mustard to see before next week's desk!)

It seems like ages since I've been to a craft show, I am so jealous! Your journal page looks interesting, nice stamp. I need to pop down and have a look what else you've been up to. Happy crafty woyww, Angela x 20
One thing I do miss is a good craft show something unheard of here in Spain. Enjoy but don't break the bank.
Lovely journal page! I really like that stamp. How lucky to have a stamp show to go to nearby! We used to have one, but it hasn't been around for years. Have fun! Thaks for sharing, Lindart #45
