Welcome back deskers - time for another WOYWW Queen of the Desks Julia has the details should you be new to the planet and not know what this is all about!
My atc from my swap partner Elizabeth (and Bleubeard) arrived last Wednesday, taking only one of the 3 weeks she feared it may take to arrive - with 2 postcards!
The weekend just gone was a Bank Holiday here in the UK and - surprise surprise - we had good weather! Saturday of course was Kew -check the Kew post here
So that's me for this week. I'll be round to see your desks either at lunchtime (if we're not too busy) or after work!

I'm so glad you got it and the postcards, too. I enlarged your photos (what else is new) and was in awe of both the journal page AND all those products you have sitting where they can be reached. I can't believe all you have at your disposal. You amaze me and your great number of stencils, stamps, paint, inks, and stamp pads. Totally in AWE, dear. Not playing this week, but I appreciate your shout out.
What a “desk!” Love the journal page, missing doing those as I am so consumed by tidying! But I will get back to it soon. Enjoy the sunshine, however long it lasts. We had a fab walk around Stourhead the other day and it was so lovely I could have stayed for hours.
Happy Woyww

Thanks for the page(s)in your Kraft Journal - love Kraft as I said last week and now I have seen it I am sorely tempted.
Great mail from Elizabeth and Bleubeard - two postcards and a lovely atc.
Hugs, Neet 4 xx
What great Happy mail from Elizabeth, i'm really sorry I missed the anniversary/birthday. Nice to see a double page spread in your journal, kraft card really does take so many mediums thrown at it.
The weather has been a delight over the past few days, beautiful for you to enjoy all that's stunning at Kew.
Happy WoywW Tracey xx

Hi Helen - I too love your desk with everything easy access. Your journal look fab too - I used to scrapbook a lot - but have never done a journal. Looks like something I will add to my list of things to try. Have a great week - Stay safe & well - Cheers Maurs xxx #12
What a great floor/desk shot this week Helen - everything within reach. That kraft journal certainly seems to take plenty of media well - great pages. Stay safe and happy WOYWW. Sarah #14 (I had a lie in for the holidays).
Great ATC ftom Elizabeth, Helen and one week is exceptional, and all I can say re laburnum arch is wowsers! Its truly amazing. You certainly know how to do spring over there, but my autumn roses have been wonderful too.
Thanks for sharing, and may God bless and keep you and all whom you love safe and well.

Great mail, lovely garden and sunshine. what more could you ask for. Have a lovely woyww, Angel a x13x
That Laburnham arch is gorgeous, I remember seeing the one at Bodnant in North Wales, so spectacular and all you could hear was the buzzing of bees! The Kraft pages make that a journal with a difference, you’re already well under way. Nice happy mail from Elizabeth too!
Hugs LLJ 3 xx
What beautiful photos from Kew!
And a great journal spread. I have yet to start on my new kraft journal - but I am working on a grey one at the moment. (It was on offer!)
Happy WoyWW!

Good to see you've been making the best of the sunshine....it makes us feel good doesn't it? Such a busy workspace.
Hugs,

oh fantadtic journal pages! I can't believe you do all that on the floor, my knees would lock as well as my back and I'd be stuck down there all day, which wouldn't be that bad, as most of my stuff is on the floor anyway! Love all that craft stuff just handy to grab! and love the Kew pictures! Stay safe! Keep crafting! Happy WOYWW!? ((Lyn))#19
Great journal pages - I do love the Kraft journal, it certainly looks very good quality. The Kew shots are gorgeous, and I can almost feel my joints aching when I look at your desk on the floor!
Have a great week,

Beautiful post Helen, love all the great photos. I think the great weather really helps us all perk up or happiness. Have a great week.
Good morning, Helen.
I always enjoy your photos from Kew. I'm hoping to visit more gardens this year. I'd never thought of working on kraft paper. Hmmm great base for lighter colors, for sure. Thanks for your visit last week, as well. Creative Blessings! Kelly #26
Good morning Helen, happy WOYWW! Great journal pages. With all your flower photographs , y0u have lots of inspiration there for your art. I love the flower picture showing today - fabulous colours. Angela #15
Good to know that mail from across the pond is not taking as long as it was, maybe things are getting back on track? Wasn't it nice to have good weather on the long weekend! Love your journal and your desk and seeing all your supplies, it looks like having a lovely craft shop in your house and I would like to browse. Elle #27, EOTC
Your floor desk is definitely impressive, Helen. I can't imagine how you get comfortable working down there, though! Do you sit on your haunches with your feet underneath? I can't get comfortable on the floor these days!! Lovely Kew photos again. It's amazing that we actually had a sunny Bank Holiday, isn't it. Almost guaranteed to rain.
Happy WOYWW,

Thank you for your return visit, Helen, and for your good wishes for my appointment tomorrow - also for my birthday! I am loving using the new knitting bag even though I haven't yet explored all its possibilities.

Helen.....NO ENABLING?????? I was so looking forward to something that I KNOW I "just needed!" LOLOL Love your happy mail and so glad you had some great weather for the Kew!! I always love your Kew photos! You have such a great eye Helen!! Love the "punishment" on that journal spread...LOLOL It really is a great spread! And, I always love seeing your desk/floor! Those boxes of PaperArtsy paint are killing me! I have some, but boy howdy you have the motherload!! LOL Thanks for stopping by my desk Helen and as always leaving encouraging comments! Blessings to you! Felicia #23
Hi Helen! Thanks for your visit! I love the Kew pics, as always, those yellow (poppies?) are gorgeous. Your journal page is fun, and wow! What a view from your couch! I don't know if I could work on the floor like that anymore, very difficult to get back up. I might just sleep there! Have a great week, Lindart #30
Hi Helen, Ooh I love how you have your ink handles stored that is cool :) I love the garden shots too. ~Stacy #28
You know what? I can't remember the last time I visited Kew. Many, many years ago. I probably haven't been since I last lived in London, so we'll over 20 years ago. I should make an effort to get back there some day...
Happy WOYWW!
