WOYWW 745

 I am at the half way point of my week's holiday from work. which means it must be Wednesday.. and WOYWW   

I had a few things planned for this week (more of that later) and so finished off the journal page from last week, at the weekend in advance for sharing.   (Kyla,  the leaves on the other page you commented on,  they're from a mask/stencil set, by Dina Wakley)  


took a couple of close ups
the figures are Dina's transparencies, I decided to use some rather than just store them up!  

and some other bits - collage tissue pieces and scraps from a Dina live FB workshop from months (12 plus probably) ago....



so the week off... Monday, as planned, an extra trip to Kew after the late Saturday due to the fun run.  

Tuesday (today, as writing )  NOT as planned and as explained in the blog... meant to be Wakehurst, a Kew members coach trip... short version,  I missed the coach...

for WOYWW day I may just stay in bed....   Thursday I have a slot booked at Buckingham Palace as part of their summer opening, but you're not allowed to take photographs.....(till you get to the garden)  

So, depending on what I decide to do or not do on Wednesday I'll catch your crafty spaces very soon!

Oh Helen, how disappointing to miss the coach, never mind, you are on holiday so plenty of time for things to do yet. Hope Kew will feature strong on your agenda.
Love the colours you chose for your journal page.

Staying in bed sounds good to me, you're on holiday so you can do what you like. Sorry though that you missed the coach, I bet you weren't pleased about that one! Still best to put it behind you and enjoy the rest of the week. Loving the journal page. You've reminded me that I have some old overlays somewhere, must try and find them. Happy creative woyww, Angela x14x

I shall not mention missing the coach . . . some people just wont wait a minute!!!
Enjoy the Palace, we found it fascinating but I was very disappointed with the garden . . . left to go wild I think.
Take care and have an enjoyable week

So sorry the traffic made you miss the bus for your outing yesterday, Helen. Your photos from your 3 Kew trips are glorious. I adore it when you show the light shining through the petals. Your journal page is lovely.
Take care and happy WOYWW

What a shame you missed the coach, such a disappointment for you. Enjoy the rest of your holiday and I hope the weather is good for you. A trip to the Palace sounds awesome, shame you can’t take photographs. Happy WOYWW. Angela #4

I loved the photos you took at Kew after missing the coach. They were so uplifting, but made me realize how much I miss my camera. I had intended to stop by earlier, but I fell asleep shortly after I linked,

I enjoyed your latest completed journal page. The transparencies are an added bonus. Happy WOYWW from # 3.

BJ said...

Oh what a pickle, missing the coach, obviously having a really laid back week off. Love your journal page, the layers really make it jump out at you. I really must make some more stamped tissue for collage... Love that you used up some of the transparencies and some scraps from yonks ago, it's so cool when we can do that. Hugs BJ#1

Sorry you missed the coach, that must have been disappointing, but hey, who's gonna say no to a day of Netflix? I would love to go and visit Buckingham Palace, too bad they don't allow photos. Your journal page looks great, good use of those transparencies. It's funny how we hold onto the things like that that we like and don't want to use up! I've been trying to just grit my teeth and use them! Have a great week, Lindart #20

Hope you manage to have fun during the rest of your week off. So nice to have a few trips out or just chill in this very pleasant weather. x x Jo

Annie said...

I'm very late calling round today but I'm not sorry because we have had a very special day making memories with little Louie...and no sewing was done at all.
Really sorry you missed the coach for your trip out. Hoping the rest of your week off goes well.
Hugs,

Mary Anne said...

Oh man! Missed coach . What a pain. But I admire your use-it-up attitude for the Dina goodies. What am I hoarding stuff for? Use it or lose it right??

Happy lovely day late WOYWW!
