Welcome back for another WOYWW. Desk sharing day...
I stamped one of Dina's faces onto a blank transparency (using stuff again!!)
added some collage tissue pieces to the page.
I made a birthday card for my boss
you can at the moment still get spray attachments separately but gradually the droppers will replace them on all the glosses sold.
unfortunately although not surprisingly you can't take photographs inside.
The rest of my week off passed in a flash.
I went to London and took the planned tour of Buckingham Palace and really enjoyed the Coronation displays. The robes were magnificent and the embroidery on the Queen's gown was superb.
this is the back garden where they hold the Garden parties.
Saturday was another lovely visit to Kew
We have a work team meeting which runs over lunchtime so I'll be late visiting those of you I can't do before work.
Happy WOYWW and see you soon

Glad you had a good week off Helen.Hope your friend is able to get back to Kew soon when the plaster is off. Great page! Stay safe and happy WOYWW. Sarah #4
This is my third attempt at commenting.Fingers crossed this goes through.
So glad you had a good week - both crafting wise and with visit to Kew. That lovely cygnet was a real treat but, as you say, bet it has a nasty nip.

You’ve had a good week then! Lots of lovely things to do on your holiday, bet BP was fantastic and the Kew colours are gorgeous as ever. Love your collage piece too, that’s a skill I’ve never mastered.

I love those neon colours and look forward to seeing how you get on with the droppers. I can understand them trying to find a different method as the sprays can be very annoying when the block. Enjoy your day and wishing you a very happy woyww, Angela x11x
Those neon colours are superb . . . NOT tempted . . . really . . .
Love the idea of stamping on a transparency . . . must give a really soft sheen.
So pleased you enjoyed your visit to the Palace, I found it all very fascinating . . . all the tiaras were on display when I went.
Sending (((hugs))) to Kim, hope she'll be up and about soon.
Have a good week

Hello Helen 💕 such gorgeous bursts of colour with your neons ... I have a basket full of sprays that always clog, quite like the thought with the droppers.
Treasure gifted in a handmade card ⭐️
I'm so glad you enjoyed Buckingham Palace 🏰 Oh to see the splendour ... magnificent!! Loving your photos from Kew 📷 Hope you have a good day back at work. Much love and hugs Tracy #14 xxxx
Ouch y, poor Kim. Hope she heals fast and without effect. I do love the seed heads you've used for the birthday card, every time i see it on your erm, desk, I remind myself that I must get it!! Good idea about converting the sprays to droppers, I've got a few (can't remember the brand offhand) that were put into air pumps to stop the clogging prob and it made no difference at all!
So good to hear you are using stuff up! Sprays are a pickle aren't they, I was trying to get one unclogged the other week and inadvertently sprayed my face pink! Super card and glad you enjoyed your London visit, we did the tour many moons ago, the dresses are indeed exquisite. Hugs BJ#12
Love the page and the card! But useful to know they are converting to droppers. Not sure it will give the same effect but there you go. I think the best plan is to get CAPS - use the spray tops then remove to soak and recap till next needed. So annoying, when will they figure out a non clogging spray fixture??
Happy, if wet and miserable, WOYWW!

Great page and card. Love the photograph of the cygnet, I bet the neck would be lovely and soft, but I agree with about the nip! Happy WOYWW. Angela #10
I can understand why they are moving to droppers, sprays are so problematic.
Lovely journal pages and great Kew photos Helen. Glad you enjoyed your week off.
Take care and happy WOYWW

Hi Helen! I would love to visit Buckingham Palace! I am now into reading an "Autobiography of Henry VIII, a novel", and at the same time listening to a lecture on Henry VIII, such a fascinating time of history, but I wouldn't want to live it! That "ugly duckling" is beginning to look like a beautiful swan! My favourite birds...Have a great week, Lindart #19
I'm doing a quick whizz around my favourite blogs before I get changed to go out[will tell you more on Friday]....its all go.
Sorry to hear your Kew buddy has broken her ankle...hope she heals well.
Hugs,

Oh get well soon Kim! She will miss her trips to Kew with you. I would love to have seen the Queen's gown. The embroidery sounded interesting - motifs special to Camilla I think. I love the page and card this week Helen. x x Jo
Happy Belated WOYWW. I hope your friend, Kim, is back out and joining you on trips to Kew soon. I love that birthday card. Very calming colours. Sprays ... well, inks of any kind - I never got on with them. I don't do messy crafting!! Ali x #13
Thanks for your enthusiasm and dedication in writing this blog
Love the message of that journal page, and the cards are lovely.
