WOYWW 677

 Hello lovely deskers hope you are all well after our 13th birthday last week? So we start another year of desk hopping...with Julia and the gang. Check it out at the Stamping-Ground   Also news of a crop  in October  - hurrah!!  

As promised I'll share the atcs I made to swap -  I used 2 of the chickens from one of the Paperartsy sets by Elena Zinski 

I must apologise for not completing the backs in true atc style- I sent some off without numbering them at all






My letter box hasn't been so busy in such a long time with all the envelopes of atcs landing on the mat in return - 

and I love the pretty envelopes so many of you sent too (I may have muddled some of them up, sorry) 
Ali , Catriona, Annie and Jo (and of course a poem too from Annie) my drunk chickens, Angela R, Caro and Jan

I am so sorry I ran out of atcs to swap back with Catriona -next time!!  
Mary Anne, Christine, Julia
Lyn (Spyder) and Cindy


You are a clever bunch of crafters!  Thank you all.






Finally and briefly, Kew last Saturday - something a bit different to enjoy - check them out if you have time




I'll be there again this Saturday and then off to a wedding reception in the evening so there may not be quite as many photos of alliums next week  


Thanks for looking and as ever, Happy WOYWW

Loved this wacky birds lol! But the TH ones you leant me are still my firm faves. Seeing all the other ATCs the week after the anniversary swap is always so fun. And that guy is quite a charmer isn’t he? A cross between yoda and golem lol!
Have fun at Kew and the wedding!
Happy Woyww

I laughed out loud when I opened your ATC, it reminded me of some crazier times in my youth, lol!! Thank you, I have really enjoyed getting mail this week, just fab. That was an interesting shot of the sculptures at Kew, very different and weird perspective, made my eyes go funny!

Happy WOYWW. It has been nice to receive Happy Mail this week. So much of my life is digital now, which will make it simpler when we move house (and we plan to do some travelling in Europe). I love the big troll at Kew. Ali x #22

I just knew that when you used some of those Pa stamps that I’d find a need… I do love those chickens! Great pic of you at Kew, takes a lot of looking! I’ve been browsing places to stay in Shrewsbury, man it’s a bit pricey, we must have a convo about how we play and plan. I’m really tied up till after jubilee so will get in touch properly after that. Meanwhile, enjoy the wedding do, I hope there’s fruit cake!!

Those chicken ATCs are so much fun - congratulations to all on the 13th birthday of WOYWW - amazing! And lovely happy mail in return...

I know, I've been missing blogging too - but there's just been a lot to deal with lately. As I said, I hope to be a bit less absent now. Looking forward to catching up a bit with Kew visits over the weekend too.
