WOYWW 764

Happy Wednesday deskers,  I hope none of you suffered damage from Storm Isha (or Jocelyn who is hard on Isha's heels...)  that means it's time for WOYWW again 

I had a bit of a play in the small kraft journal again at the weekend 

I added to the blue page.. 

and added some more to some "waste" paint on the adjoining page 

there's a small tag started to add to this page but it didn't get photographed!

I made a birthday card for a friend (she won't see this so it's ok to share it) 

the background is a sheet of paper that I overstamped  and the butterfly is stamped on tissue 

Neet, you wanted to know about the Sacred bamboo plant that I shared last week ... luckily, Angela (Crafting with Jack) checked it out and left a comment which I've copied here  - thanks, Angela.  

" I had a look for you: This Flower Essence is for opening and aligning the main chakras to receive light energy. It helps us be a heavenly bamboo, a wonderful, flexible pillar of light. - Helps us stay grounded in our divine identity especially during spiritual growth spurts.

It’s not at a bamboo and the berries are poisonous to people." 

it is a member of the berberis family and it's true name is nandina domestica (that's my contribution! )

 I had a much happier day at Kew on Saturday, no more January blues - you can see all the pics here   it wasn't as cold as I anticipated (or perhaps it was all the layers)

the pond was frozen - it had been a very cold week!

It will have thawed out by now.  

Thanks for looking, happy WOYWW 

There will be new goodies next week, Paperartsy are on a new release week (ordered from both of the first 2 days, one more to come...)  They are also celebrating 20 years of business... and I am probably responsible, given how much of their stock I own!
