I am going to be really short and sweet today, as I don't have a lot to share.. my WOYWW anniversary atc arrived safely last Thursday from Elizabeth and Bleubeard, in double quick time from the States.. I knew immediately what the envelope was as it was covered in her trademark rocking horse stamp!
here's a close up
I was going to stop there, but decided to add a couple of journal pages -
I have added a little to the page from last week... intensified the colours in the circles, added some stamping and some texture paste stencilled splatters. re-purposed some washi tape that had come wrapped round an order a few weeks ago
and finally... no words needed
I love London and the dreadful attack won't stop me visiting, exploring and photographing..
Have a good week.
Last week's Kew trip here (yes, again!)

I'm glad you shared this. I haven't heard from Julia, but I'm going to share the ATCs I made for WOYWW 8 on my blog tonight. I don't have the post up yet, so obviously no number.
I was glad to read you will NOT be deterred by the attacks this last weekend in London. I was REALLY worried about you, because it showed trains and I know you take them. Have a great WOYWW.
Great atc you have there and it's a shame what's happened over there glad to hear your doing well

That is a lovely ATC. The post seems very quick from abroad (I received my ATC from Australia last weekend) and yet so often items sent within the UK seem to take ages. Happy WOYWW Sarah #8
Love your Elizabeth atc and your further adorned page - keep visiting the capital - we love to see where you have been.
Hugs, Neet 10 xx and thanks for the earlier visit.
Lovely ATC, like the post system here in Spain things get to other people quicker than I receive them. A letter can get to the UK in two days. Love the London page so awful what happened again in such a short space of time.
The London page is the perfect tribute..good for you to keep determined. We can't let the bu&£@rs win. Lovely ATC! The nv Open made me smile!
Hugs, LLJ 11 xx
Im really enjoying seeing all the lovely ATCs on my visits....so much love flying around the world.

Sharing our crafty love around the globe is one of our best times - so many clever crafters out there and all made with that same love - we need to spread it round the globe ever more so. xx Jo
All lovely makes on your page. Anne x #19
Gorgeous ATC from Elizabeth and I love the envelope, I bet that cheered the Postman up!
Well said about London - the page is a beautiful tribute and I applaud you for your words - we won't let them win.
Have a great week,

Happy WOYWW. I love that purple paper. Have you got plans for it? Life in the UK continues to be more difficult than it should be. Not looking forward to the General Election tomorrow (we do postal votes, so at least I haven't got to venture out in the rain tomorrow!). Ali x #29
Great ATC and pretty fab AJ page as well :)

Proof if it were needed that my desk, my chair side table and the box I keep mail in....all a shambles. I did get your atc gal, and thank you for it....it is now with the others after being hooked out from the horror! Your journal entry is wonderful...no words needed, indeed.
Love Elizabeth's home made paper, bet that ends up in your journal in some way!
Journal page is looking good, can't wait for the next episode but I know I must!!
We must remain totally British and carry our beer as we run!
have a good week

Lovely projects and ATC, Helen, and nice to see some more hand-made paper! Gorgeous stuff, isn't it. Thank you for your lovely comment - I've made progress on the mini-album project and it's now on my blog if you want to hop over for a look.

love the rocking horses...a dead giveaway it is from Elizabeth! I like the art journal pages. I need to break out my stuff and get busy doing something! Hope you have a great week. Thanks for stopping by my desk! Vickie #43
I love your journal pages Helen...very poignant. Your atc and paper is fab too :)
Fabulous post,
Sorry for the delay in commenting, laptop trouble. It's died on me and I'm in a bit of a flap.
On a positive note, my Dear Husband plans to buy a replacement for me.

Fab ATC from E&B, and two beautiful pages, especially the London tribute.
