Here we are again - another WOYWW - time to share crafty spaces once again with Julia
I managed to finish the page I was stuck on last week...
(I stencilled the "d" and then moved the stencil over just a smidge and finished the word)
I wrote the words using a Posca paint pen and stamped the heart (also a Dina stamp)
I stencilled it again down the side of the burlap page
I also added to one of the other pages I'd started....
mainly added collage tissue pieces
on the denim page I used some figures I'd stamped previously using scribble sticks
then there is enabling....
the trade shows obviously can't take place at present so companies are just releasing new goodies...
I have some new Dina goodies on pre-order but whilst I am waiting tracked down some existing designs I hadn't yet succumbed to...
the pink ink pad I got just for fun...mainly because the pad I got a few weeks ago that looked pink on screen is quite purpley so I've tried again!
the pre-order items won't be here till the end of the month
these came on Monday!
I also arrived home from work on Tuesday (today as I am writing) to find a letter from the NHS saying I can now book my Covid vaccine - hurrah!
That's about it for me this week, happy desk day - see you soon!

Great news about the vaccine Helen. Loving the pages too. It is always good to see enabling too lol. Stay safe and happy WOYWW. Sarah #3
You might not be the first this week but you are my first (ie I came straight here).
Without the shows I am relying on you to be the one to update me on what is new in the craft world so keep on preordering as much as you can. The wordy stencil intrigues me, (it is a stencil isn't it?) as I cannot make out whether it is a complete sentence or just words - will have to go check it out now.
Good news re the jab!
Hugs, Neet 12
Every week I see something on your blog that I saw and opted not to buy, then I see you use it brilliantly and I am like Arrgghh! Love all the pages. and the reminder to check out Paper Artsy. I used to buy from them occasionally but not recently.
Yay to the jab letter!
Happy desk hopping' day!

I am very envious of all those goodies!
Happy WoyWW!

It’s good news about your vaccine, we are moving forward now thankfully.
I like the facial images and your pages. I follow a girl on Instagram called Quiet Noticing - Emily Nooman and your pages made me think of her.

Hurrah, they found your syringe! Relief. Is it just me (!!) and even allowing for a little bit of movement, the stencilled word looks so much bigger vertically! I thought you had two sizes of stencil! Now, we’re you being strong or haven’t you had time to look at the PA releases for the rest of the week? Do you know, new releases and CHA ishness hadn’t even crossed my mind this year. Blimey, I’m so blinkered!
Morning Helen. Goodness - you have had a great week - lots of industry going on there. Well done finishing the pages - a good sense of achievement for you. Lots of sentiments to get your teeth into in your new buys - have fun. Hope you manage to get a slot when you book for your vaccination.
Take care. God bless.

I'm so happy you finally got your vaccine letter Helen, it sure is a comfort when you have even your first jab. Nice to see you've been so busy in your journals the big dream stencil is a a good statement size.
Looking with one eye at the new stash, i'm being very good only buying only top up and tools that I need to replace but you've reminded me that I have 3 untouched versafine clare pads I purchased last Summer, wondering where they are now.. must be downstairs in the crafty corner. Thanks for the reminder & Happy WoywW Tracey xx
I thought the vertical word looked bigger than the horizontal too! Isn’t it funny how our eyes can deceive us? The pages are great and work really well. Hooray for some new stash and for getting your jab letter, a glimmer of light on the horizon!!

Looks like you mojo's back, Helen! Love your new pages - very Dina Wakely! Good luck with jab - we're still waiting for ours. Enjoy your week! xx zsuzsa #22
The pages are brilliant they worked so well, love them. New stash again.....what am I saying Lol! just waiting for mine to arrive so I've no room to speak. Have a lovely creative week and a very happy woyww, Angela x19x
LOVE your finished pages! I really like the first Dream page and then using the Dream again on the burlap but leaving the rest open space - really effective. Lots of yummy new stuff there too. I'm doing really well at resisting! Stay safe and keep smiling, Lisa-Jane #7
Wow, fabulous pages - I love the Dream one with that gorgeous orange, it ticks all my boxes! Have fun with the new stash, it looks an inspiring collection.
I'm glad you are getting your vaccination soon - it's all looking more positive now, thankfully.
Hope you have a great week,
Diana xx #20
Really love your latest pages and your new stash.

I do miss craft shows!! Yes as Neet says we have to rely on you to keep us up to date. I am however still being good, as I managed the whole of Feb without missing out on too much I am going to try another month without buying craft stuff. March is longer too!! I'm looking at your pages and thinking how lovely and tactile those canvas and denim pieces must be... lovely work. Glad to hear you can book your jab - get it done!! Have a great week, stay well stay safe, love n hugs, Cindy x #18
Oh Gosh nearly feeling enabled, love the stencils and your Dream Page too.
Thanks for the visit BJ#13
Ooh yay for happy mail Helen, those all look like you are really going to find fun things to do with them. :) ~Stacy #28 Ooh I like the colors of the pink pad, I finally received the newest oxide pink in the mail the other day. ( mail is delayed in the states due to weather a few weeks ago) and I have not opened it yet.
Great pages Helen. I just don't know how you do it -you combine things so nicely. Good to hear about your jab too. xx Jo
Hi Helen! Congrats on the vaccine! And all those new toys - very jealous! You have some major playtime coming! Great journal pages, love the dream stencil! Have a great week, Lindart #29
Oh Helen, I am in LOVE with the "Dream" spread! It is gorgeous!!! That burlap is so yummy too! I have just got to get that journal!! You have really been showing that guy off!! Can't imagine what the denim would be like to work on, but I'd be willing to give it a go! I am just going to have to come up with a nickname for your enabling! It's AWFUL!!!!!! LOLOL You always have such gorgeous things to show! I love Paperartsy ANYTHING so it's a shoo-in for me!!! LOL I love that dotty or animal print-looking stencil as well! All gorgeous play in my book! Have fun! Can't wait to see your pre-orders! Congrats on your go-ahead on your shot! I pray all goes well and no side effects!! Blessings to you Helen! Felicia #26
Hi Helen, I love your “Dream” page. You have a lovely assortment of goodies there which I am sure you will have fun with. Have a great week Angela #17
Good news about your vaccine. I love your pages and the enabling! Sorry I'm missing in action again this week - we have building work at ours and every evening I am having to move things round the house to make way for the next thing! I hope to be back next week. Happy WOYWW. Take care and stay safe. Caro xx
Loving the Masterboards, I often scan mine if I make some that I really like and then keep the original. There are quite a few with examples of how I used them at the top of my blog. The idea of selling examples on Etsy sounds like a plan. Have a very creative week and a happy woyww, Angela x19x
You have fabulous stencils in your stash. I always look forward to seeing your journal pages. So fun! Happy WOYWW! Dorlene #30
Great pages! And look at all those goodies!
Glad you can get your shot.
Have a great week and thanks for popping by!

Another great page, Helen, and what a lovely lot of new stash to play with. I love the stamps in the last picture in particular. You're going to have a lot of fun with those.
Thank you for visiting - glad you're enjoying the progress of the blanket. There's still a fair bit of work to do but the end is in sight with the completion of all 80 squares. I'm glad you didn't notice the shadows being wrong on my card - if you didn't notice it, I don't suppose the recipient will either! That's reassuring! I think you'd have noticed if all the kitties were sideways on the blanket, though...
Happy WOYWW,
Shoshi x #21
Gorgeous pages and your new stash looks great!
Glad to hear you'll be getting your vaccine soon too Helen.
Your journal is lovely, I've got one of those books somewhere and haven't worked on it for an age, I might have to hunt it down. Loving the new goodies, anything to cheer us up in the current lockdown.
I hope you've had a good week
Hugs
Hi Helen, great news on the vaccination- hope you manage to find one close to home without having to trek to the other side of London. Well done on the refrained shopping - great purchases by the way! Have a lovely week, Heather xx #25
Lovely goodies, Helen!
Thanks for the visit last week.
Didn't accomplish much but the book editing - but we are into another week.
Hugs! Kelly #27
I love these pages Helen! I have been thinking of ordering the DW set with the leaves on - you have just given me the final push! I've also resisted the new Paper Artsy stamps...until now!!! Hugs, Chrisx
