Welcome deskers. Wednesday again, time for WOYWW
Around the neon circles I'd done last week I added some stencilling - paints this time, Sky and Heather. and stamped some little dots in black and white (which is gesso) I found one of Dina's stamps that was slightly curved so it would fit round the circles. Shame I didn't have one that curled the other way round for the top layer of circles!
The journal is Dina's small square kraft journal, BJ; I've never handmade a journal !
I've ordered the 4 sets of new stamps that Dina launched on Monday.... so they should be here for next week's desk!
Kew on Saturday was.... wet. Not, luckily as wet as Scotland or most of the rest of the country... I feel so sorry for all those people who've been flooded out.
water literally dripping of the berries
Jan, I think 3 years till I get my state pension. Am hoping I might be able to stop working before then though!
Thanks for looking, and I'll catch up with you soon. Happy WOYWW

Pleased you had a good day at Kew. The berries definitely caught my eye, lovely photo and your journal page this week is brilliant. Have a great week and a very happy woyww, Angela x10x
The journal page is so different with the added layers. Lovely! But those berries look fabulous. Just think of all the pages you'll make and photos you'll take when you retire....Wonderful to look forward to!
Getting visits in early on DDs Birthday!

Love that puddle picture at Kew, like you say the reflection is fabulous.
Like your journal page now that you have added some paint to it - fab!
Hugs, Neet 1 xx
Lovely colours in your journal. What dedication to Kew though! Beautiful photos in the rain and gorgeous autumn colours. The water lily leaves were striking, the wet berries and the smelly flower against the light.
Hope it’s drier this week. I can definitely recommend retirement, and don’t miss work at all.
Take care and happy WOYWW

Really like the colours on that page, also the 'square stencil I guess. Lucky you new stamps on the way, I may just not stop by next week! Hope Kew is a bit drier for you - a certain amount of rain can be atmospheric but its been bad this week (thankfully the wo5st overnight). Have a lovely week!! Love n hugs, Cindyxx #9
Hi Helen, page looking good, love the colours. Have you tried hand writing around your circles? Those berries are gorgeous colours and a lovely reflection in the water.have a great week. Happy WOYWW. Angela #15
Your journal page is coming along nicely. I love the neon colours. Those Berries at Kew look almost like Xmas baubles. Fab photo. x x Jo
Fab Kew pics as usual, you do have a knack for seeing the things I wouldnt, like the little cluster of berries and the fab reflections. The bendy Dina stamp is such a good fit, and I really like the words.., that page looks a treat to me!
Even if it isn't finished, I love it. The turquoise round the edges really compliments the circles. Thanks for the journal info, noted. So many colours in the berries and the wetness makes the colours so much more intense doesn't it. As for State pension age, just looked mine up and it's at 67yrs in 2031, same for the old bus pass too, ho hum. Fortunately for me hubby is that much older and has retired so I'm going with retired at 60yrs next February - YAY. Although retirement for me has been slowly passing on some of my household jobs to hubby, slowly but it's happening...Hugs BJ#13 late as usual!
Your journal page is really coming along nicely! Looking forward to seeing your new stamps. The drops of water on those berries is lovely, I love water and reflections too! Thanks for your visit, have a great week, Lindart #18
the page is coming along really well (I dont think I have ever made an actual journal either). those are lovely reflections on the path in kew, and loved your recent photos too
Thanks for visiting my desk already

Hi Helen.
I'm coming in under the wire. Been a busy week.
Thanks for the Kew pictures. I do look forward to them. The reflection is magical. You inspired me to show a couple of pictures during this woyww
Creative Blessings! ~ Kelly #16
