It's time for our weekly meet up at
Julia's for WOYWW where we share our desks (floors) and what's kept us sane in the last week of lockdown...
obviously the new goodies arrived during Wednesday but I saved them to share today...
You may have seen on FB that I have put some of them to use already over the long Easter weekend..
another Kew themed virtual walk
I also spent some more time enjoying the warm weather responsibly (stay at home, save lives)
it's a one brick-width wall but just about room to lie down!
I also enjoyed the shadows of my Philadelphus (mock orange) on my book as I was reading it
Back to work (home-working) now so no more time to sit and enjoy the outside (and it's got colder too) or day long crafting when I want to - but it was good whilst it lasted..
hopefully next week I'll have something else to share (craftwise, not been shopping !)
Take care, stay safe and happy WOYWW

Great pages Helen, I've enjoyed seeing them pop up on FB. I particularly love that purple spread! Hope work doesn't keep you too busy for crafting. Stay safe and Happy WOYWW. Sarah #7
Shock horror, you have not been buying. I thought you would have been internet shopping by now Helen - I might just beat you to it again. I can feel some cheering up coming on and I have some stamps lined up ready to purchase.
Stay safe and well
Hugs, Neet 2 xx
Great new stamps, Helen, and beautiful journal pages you’ve created, too. I particularly like the Kew-inspired one, and I’m glad that you are continuing to be able to enjoy your favourite Kew walks, if only in the pages of your journal! So nice to see you enjoying the sunshine.
Stay safe and well, and happy WOYWW,
Shoshi x #1 (beat you to the #1 place this week lol! Only because I had such a bad night and woke early enough to join in. Now intermittently dozing and drinking ever cooling cups of tea in bed!)
Morning Helen. Sounds like you had a good Easter weekend off work. Great fun pages, and lots of time spent in the sun - well done. Loved the fact that you can be comfy and safe on a one-brick-width wall! I certainly couldn't.
Take care. Stay safe. God bless.

Lovely pages Helen, I particularly love the Kew walk. The new stash looks great and I bet you'll have fun playing with it.
Isn't it lovely to get out in the sunshine, lets hope it continues for a while yet.
Have a good week,

I've enjoyed seeing your pages, the colours are so lovely and I really like those new stamps. Your sentiments have been spot on too! The book reading has made me smile and I don't know how on earth you balanced on the wall, another skill of yours undoubtedly,lol!

Crafting o n the floor, balancing on walls - is there no end your flexibility? Love your new goodies and your pages, I'm sure there will be more to come. Stay safe, stay well, Happy WOYWW Cindy #12
Gorgeous stamps - love how you have used them. I would need more than one brick to hold me!!! ha ha Love mock Orange - they smell so nice.
Take care and keep safe Soojay#19
Hi Helen, loving the new JOFY stamps!Especially the 'pod' ones. Fabulous. Great journal pages too, again, the pod ones got my attention first. It has gone a little cooler now, but the sun is out again today. Have a good week, Stay safe, Love & hugs, Shaz #8 X
Glad you had a few days off so that your could enjoy the crafting and the warm weather. I did chuckle at the thought of you balancing on your brick wall - don't fall asleep though!! Stay safe xx Jo
I think that photo of you is beautiful. You look so relaxed and the shadows dappling over you.... beautiful.
Love all the new stash .... may have to try out the retail therapy!!!
Stay safe

Love the new stamps and your art with them. You look very relaxed on your single brick wall :) . It must be hard to homework when the sun is shining outside. Keep safe Angela x #24
I'm loving your journal pages. It was back to work for me and to school for Alex today - so hard for us both to settle down! Happy WOYWW. Take care and stay safe! With love and God Bless, Caro x (#3)
Love the new goodies especially the toadstools. Nice to see you finding a place in the sun, I'm staying indoors as I get too hot outside! Thanks for the visit BJ#20
I caved and placed two orders on Saturday even though I know it will be a while before they can be shipped I decided I would you know send out a little money to the companies I want to see make it through this. (and it's not like I do not have a stash to play with while we all wait) :) fun colors on the pages you did get done Helen. ~Stacy #30
Beautiful pages!! How fun that you did the virtual walk page! I, too, like to sit out in the sun for a short time daily. Good for the soul.
Thanks for popping by and have a great week!

Thanks for visiting, Helen, and I hope you are managing to keep your nose applied to the work grindstone despite the distractions of home and WOYWW! We are both bearing up splendidly. If you are living alone I think it would be much harder, though. Keep smiling! I am sure you will be back enjoying the pleasures of Kew before you know it.
Shoshi x #1 (I can't believe I stole the #1 position from you this week!! Wonders will never cease.)
Great photo of you relaxing! Happy WOYWW! Dorlene #31
Glad you’re mojo is returning, even if you are back at work now...hope it was just a sort of lockdown malaise...I wonder if it was because all of a sudden, there was a chance to do it in the day?!! Is work as full on busy as usual? Love that floral stencil. And I still like that pic of you on the wall....it may very well make it into my lockdown scrap pages...
Lovely craftiness to share as always Helen, thank you. Say safe and well.

I hope your day is as sunny as mine is overhere... Spring weather and sunshine returned and it sure is lovely to sit outside (I have a little balcony.) I love the 'mushroom' stamps (or are they flowers?) Thanks for your visit to my blog earlier, have a nice day and stay safe! Hug from Holland, Marit #21
I looked at the cup behind your photo and thought I saw an egg in it, has someone been hiding easter eggs, but no looked again and saw it was the remains of coffee/tea. Have a good week. Ani #15
Lovely journal pages! The sentiments are perfect for these strange times. Nice to see you had some sunshine, I too, have one photo of myself in the sun, then it got too cold again! Glad you are keeping busy, stay safe! Lindart #28
Yep I'm homeworking too 3 days out of 4 and trying to snatch little bits of sunshine when I can - definitely good for the soul!
So great to see you've found some crafting time and energy for your new goodies. Those pages are fabulous. Love the rich purples with the giant flowers (lovely words), and the mushroomy flowers in the sunshine yellow and green garden are wonderful. Those vivid red accents are great. My favourite is probably the Kew walk - another glorious tribute to your favourite place!
Love that you found a sunny spot to enjoy some reading time too... looks like a great little hideaway.

Good morning, Helen
what a sweet picture! Lovely to see your smile. While the wall might not be all that comfy, it does look like a good place for a short stretch-out. I'll have an update on my planner shelf this week, answering questions. LOL Creative Blessings! Kelly #26
