WOYWW 644

 Another Wednesday another month - hello October!  the year - never mind the weeks - are whizzing by so fast.  We head to Julia's Stamping-Ground for another week of WOYWW  desk sharing fun..

As I am writing this (watching Great British Bake Off)  I've just seen a Christmas advert on telly.... no way!!  

 abandoned Christmas cards this week for a "batty" play in my journal... 
I'd already sprayed the background - or it might be paint I honestly can't remember (think it must be paint, actually)  some time ago

the church window stamp set (Dina Wakley) was the front of the pile  ad the circle came from a Dina Wakley supporter video idea...I painted it to look like a moon behind the window 

I remembered i had some bat die cuts and hurrah, could even find them!!  
this is the play from the supporter video - a sort of warm up play session - pieces to be used as is or as collage fodder as Dina calls them  as you choose 

needless to say they stopped as a warm up exercise and haven't developed into anything.  





I had a lucky escape at Kew on Saturday as the forecast heavy rain didn't start till after I'd got home and it only rained intermittently.
Photos here including the new Japan season


Thanks for looking, I'll be round to visit you soon.

No Way! Not the dreaded C word on tv already? That seems crazy to me. Your collage fodder looks like it could turn into something but what? Hope you’ll share when it does. Lucky escape on the rai at at Kew. It bucketed it down here! Phew.
Happy Woyww

Glad you avoided the heavy rain on Saturday Helen. The new Japan garden looks great from the photos I've seen. Love the bat page and I am sure the latest play will turn into something eventually. Stay safe and happy WOYWW. Sarah #3

Yes, the supermarket up here was full of Christmas food - already! Eek!
Really enjoyed your journal page, nice to see one finished.
It rained non stop, heavy stuff which is why we did not get a sunset - well I am presuming we didn't, I didn't venture outside. Today is lovely (touch wood).
Hugs, Neet 9 xx

I am envious of the Japanese festival at Kew, bet it was fantastic! Good timin with dodging the rain, it’s been like here this week - I’m in T-shirt and shorts in the house (no heating) and 3-4 layers on when I go out! Love the batty bats - ooh that brings back memories of Captain Beaky and his Band, lol!

So many stunning Kew pics Helen - you could make a fortune with photo cards/coasters/calendars etc!! The batty page is fun but not the thought of Christmas just yet. xx Jo

I think your warm up pieces look like little trees especially with the drips that look like trunks to me, you could make them into little tree cards. Happy WOYWW! Elle #21, EOTC

Happy Belated WOYWW. Yes, Christmas is everywhere in our local town. The M&S Foodhall seemed to have been taken over (even Halloween was pushed to one side), and I must admit I bought a box of mince pies (as me and hubby love them)! I love those 'warm up' pieces. I see trees and they would make gorgeous notecards or notebook fronts. Ali x #4

I suppose we have to admit to C being on the horizon or nearer now!

Hi Helen! My hubby and I love The Great British Baking Show! We watch it together every week. It a lot of fun, and so funny to hear hubby making comments on baking - I don't think he's ever baked a thing! Now we are looking forward to The Great Canadian Baking Show, starting after TGBBS ends. Lots of play this week I see, good for you! I love the Halloween page! Thanks for your visit, have a great week, Lindart #23

I had to smile as I totally get that "I even found them" part of the equation Helen. :) the bats in the moonlight scene is really cool ~Stacy #22
