WOYWW 682

 Happy Wednesday to you all - another WOYWW has arrived and we'll all meet up at Julia's again

Thank you for your birthday wishes for Sunday,  I had a quiet day mostly watching the Test match (cricket)  after of course spending time at Kew on Saturday


my "tea party"  well coffee morning I guess lol

Lynda and Kim, two of the weekly regulars and I had cake and coffee (they had tea)  









I didn't do a whole lot of crafting this week

I added some more layers to my masterboard from last week
circles are stencilled, the rest are stamps
started another journal page too













finally I just remembered to take a pic of the new distress colour inks and sprays that arrived on Monday

the light is bad under the electric light so the colour test underneath isn't very accurate



I am now watching tennis most evenings so there won;t be much crafting done this week either!


Happy WOYWW,  see you soon!

Belated birthday wishes Helen! Coffee/tea with friends sound like the perfect party to me! I love your art journal spread, the colors must be inspired by that passion flower, am I right! Thanks for your visit to my desk, enjoy your week! Love from Holland, Marit #4

Glad yhou had a nice birthday, as we get older we seem to settle for more sedate celebrations don't we.

Love that journal page. Am very unconvinced but the new DI colour, am as usual, sure you will convince me otherwise! I was convinced it would be a shade of brown that I would have wanted! Hasn’t the cricket been great, I often think if you while we’re sitting shouting at the players!
