WOYWW 678

 Welcome deskers,  we are once again (already!) meeting with Julia for WOYWW -join in here 

All I've done this week craft-wise, is to open new parcels of goodies!

first to arrive were Paperartsy stencils by JoFY (Jo Firth-Young)  on a first of a series of new releases.    

the larger circles were actually from a previous release that somehow or other I'd let pass me by....

I showed restraint here and didn't get any of the new stamp sets!  

next to arrive, although they should have been the last, was a Dina Wakley release, some more gloss paint sprays and a large version of her fabulous kraft journal

sorry about the bad lighting on the photo!

these were delivered to work

Last to arrive, although actually had I not misjudged the size of the parcel and had them sent to work instead of home, and not fit through the letter box, so that I had to go to the sorting office, they would have been here Friday

I also didn't realise the sorting office new opening hours - they used to open about 6.30 in the morning,  but now 8am so were still shut when i tried to collect them on my way to work Monday morning

!

next time, I will remember that they open later on a Saturday and even Sundays!  However, safely collected Tuesday after work! 

some more Paperartsy goodies, this time from Seth Apter's range (I showed restraint again here and only got 2 of the paint colours and not all of the stamps!

the wedding on Saturday was lovely - here's a photo as Neet requested

I did have a (very thin) wrap thing with me (in my left hand)  but it was very chilly outside but a lovely evening 

I did also fit in a visit to Kew in the morning, which was lovely too -  pics here

one to entice you over, quickly as I've taken up far too much of your time

this is part of the Food Forever summer event that I missed the first weekend it opened

the guide was telling my fellow Kew regular friend Kym (who happened to be in the gallery at the same time as me) that as part of this is made from sugar and candy, they have to evacuate ants each morning...

Ok, thanks for looking, I will be round soon to visit and am very much looking forward to the Jubilee bank holiday long weekend to rest and hopefully play with all the new goodies,  and watch all the festivities planned to celebrate the Jubilee (from the sofa, less crowded and a better view!)...and of course, go to Kew again!
