Hello fellow deskers - another Wednesday already.. The day of the week we gather at Julia's Stamping-Ground for WOYWW desk sharing day.
I've had a splurge on buying new goodies lately, and have had 3 deliveries since we last met!
writing this Tuesday evening, an email alert has just flashed up on the screen to tell me my parcel will be delivered today.... yes, about 10 hours ago!! They normally arrive before the post!
so, lots of goodies to play with.
At the weekend I had a bit of a play with one of the Dina stencils - the circle mosaic which is just gorgeous. In honour of the new distress inks on the way (at the time) I used distress inks in my journal - on one of the cotton rag pages in the Dina journal
Added a collage tissue face - intend to doodle on this to enhance it a bit - added some splatters and some cut up collage tissue phrase which I then muted with gesso.
Saturday's trip to Kew was fabulous - I spent half an hour in the Zadok Ben-David exhibition taking close ups - lots of pics on the blog and ages outside enjoying the rich autumn colours - my favourite time of year I think
the detail is just exquisite
Sadly the forecast for this coming weekend is wet, so I think I'll maybe not spend so long outside!
That's it from me - not planning on new goodies next week, maybe I'll have used some of this week's! Happy WOYWW and I'll see you soon.

H, my lovely, you are soon going to run out of space! Three deliveries! Lucky lucky you. I always enjoy your Kew pictures, it feels like visiting even when I can’t. Kew was actually our first even touristy thing on my first ever visit to the UK. I loved it, even it it was pouring down with rain! The page is lovely, and yes, great stencil!
Happy Woyww!

Must visit your Kew photos another time as I am off out early this morning.
Loving all the new goodies and yesm, that stencil is gorgeous - do you have an idea in mind for some goodies before you buy or do you buy because you like? I think I do the latter but then it is the demos I see of the stuff that makes me buy so not sure really.
Hugs, Neet 7 xx
Fab new goodies Helen - my Villainous Poison goodies arrived on Monday but I haven't played with them yet. I ordered as usual before the colour was announced but I haven't been disappointed yet. I have ordered some Dina collage paper too - thought I'd check out what all the fuss is about lol. Hope the rain holds off for you on Saturday. Stay safe and Happy WOWYW. Sarah #5
Somebody is going to be busy with parcels arriving. Our postman jokes with my hubby that I’ve been spending the pension again.
Enjoy your goodies.
Autumn must be a wonderful time to see Kew, I know looking out of our windows at the tops of the trees below in the nature reserve is awesome

Wow, I just adore that last pic, what a gorgeous photo! Autumn is my fav time of year too and I welcome the turning of the seasons. Your new goodies are fab, the new DI sounds fun, great name!
Hugs LLJ 4 xx
I don't blame you for ordering some more goodies there's nothing more pleasurable at the moment than hearing the postman leaving something nice so I've done it myself Lol! Have a great woyww, hugs Angela x15x
Lovely Autumnal photos Helen, it's rather late arriving here in the Fens, so much rain means lots of green still about but I did see a stunning Acacia tree yesterday moving to red and golden tones, it looks totally magical in the sun (yep we saw that yesterday).

Ooh lovely new goodies - I love your stencilled pages, the colours are beautiful. The new stamps look fab, and I could be seriously tempted by the new Seth Apter ones.
Hope you have a lovely week,

I adore the sound of villainous poison as a name for a purple ink!
Beautiful autumn close ups at Kew, Helen, and I adore the sight of you and your friend rolling round the exhibits for low level shots.
Beautiful mosaic page as well
Take care and happy WOYWW
Hugs

Lucky you with all those new goodies - the PaperArtsy stamps look wonderful! I love autumn too - the perfect time to walk around in nature! Have lovely week! xx zsuzsa #18
PaperArtsy! Tim Holtz! You must be in Heaven! I'm still waiting for some Snarky cats....think they've forgotten or got lost!! And on top of that Lovely Kew. We are still, not really going out, but have to go see Lady Pam and my brother. Still have to wear masks although, most people out and about, don't! HappY WOYWW!? Stay Safe, ((Lyn)) #20
Oh some fun goodies. I love that purple but not ordered it yet. Beautiful fall tree and the last photo is beautiful Yes our weather is turning today, high winds, 30's no sun and possible storms later. We've had a great FALL so much color and warm temps. Was fun Enjoy a great week
Hi Helen! Once again drooling over your new toys! I LOVE those Lynne Parella stamps!! And your journal pages are lovely, I love the colours in the background and the stencil you used! I haven't seen the new purple in "person" yet but it will be going on my Christmas Wish List! Have a great week, Lindart #22
I had a bundle of parcels in the post today too, Helen - new DIs, shimmer pens, grey cardstock... So glad you've got the new purple too, and we are both looking forward to a chance to play with this! Have you seen TH's video about the launch? It's totally awesome. I love your latest page - the circular mosaic design reminds me of cobbled streets - such a pretty design.
Thank you for your visit and your good wishes for our health. I'm glad you like my patchwork cards - I've got plenty of ideas for developing this further, especially with my new products. I'm very surprised you managed to blunt a distressing tool lol! I suppose you turned it from a "distressing" to a "distressed" tool haha!
Happy WOYWW,

OOOOh - so you have got villainous potion!! I am waiting to hear that it's in in the odd shops I but from... Do I need it I woder?
Looks as though you have a bountiful supply of new goodies!
Great journal page.
I am sure Kew is wonderful at the moment - my facebook memories are showing the fabulous Autumn colours at Bodnant.
Happy WOYWW!
Stay safe and keep well!

Ooohhh, I have a crush for purple these days and I LOVE that purple spray... might hop over to buy me one too! The other goodies look promising too, I bet you will make great projects with it all, enjoy! Thanks for visiting my desk the other day, have a great weekend! Love from Holland. Marit #19
Hi Helen, sorry to be do late. Villainous Poison - what a name for that shade of purple! How did you manage to wait a day before succumbing ... it's so your thing :) I've had a bit of a spree this week too but then I've been very good for months now so I'm not feeling too guilty. Hope to pop over to look at your Kew photos later - I always enjoy them. Hope today is not as wet as anticipated. Hugs, Elizabeth x #23
I'm finally getting around after getting nailed with extreme fatigue. Nice goodies!
Have a great weekend.

Wonderful craft assortment. Beautiful foliage. Happy Halloween!
ooh your "enabling" continues-I hadnt spotted that new purple TH colour in the latest updates will be interested how this looks as they dont have a good deep purple in their range yet (in my opinion) so may have to buy this!!
Thanks for visiting my desk already

How fun when everything arrives together, looks like a nice crafty collection of new goodies to play with. I love how you said you waited a whole day before ordering the new Distress colour, that shows restraint! lol Happy belated WOYWW! October was a busy month, still catching up. Elle #6 this week
