WOYWW 795

Well, my week off is over and it's back to work.  Time for WOYWW once more - the last one of August. Sarah will have the link as usual now. 

I should have had new goodies to share today, but they didn't arrive at work on Tuesday (hoping they'll come today)  I would have had them on Saturday, but when I ordered them didn't think they'd arrive at home before I went back to work. so had them delivered to work and blow me, the order was processed super fast.  I had decided to give Kew a miss till Sunday due to the rain that was due on Saturday and so would have been at home.... typical!  


this  was the sum total of my crafting during my week off - though I did get a couple of piles of old craft magazines turned out



it's a page in the 6x6 Kraft journal 


my photosbyh blog has several posts from last week with various days out, including some new places - I won't link them all, but hope you can take a look at some of them. 

I will link Kew from Sunday though! 




this was from one of the new places I visited (Palace of Westminster) 




Happy WOYWW - have a good one.

Nice page Helen, shame about the order for new stuff. So annoying when you plan it all out and it doesn't work quite the way you want.
I'll look at the other blog later, better get back to bed, i just got up for the usual around this time and landed here on time.
Hugs, Neet 1 xx

Glad you had a good break and managed a few trips out. Love your journal page. It reminded me that I have a little 6x6 book - must do something with it. Enjoy the Paralympics! x x Jo 🌈

Not all plans work but guess that's life. Love the colours you've used on the journal page too. I must get back to my journals again but you know me how I jump from one thing to another. I'll pop back later for a look at the pics. Hugs Angela x10x

LOL! Tell me about it - I ordered a few things to be delivered by my in-laws and after about 4 months I will finally get my hands on them. Not a lot, but still looking forward to new toys. Love the page - a big fan of purple - and will def. check out the photos after I get round to all the morning desks, and after lunch with the knitters. Why is Weds. always so dang busy!?
Hoping for a better desk-hop day this week!

I like the sentiment on the page too! You’ll enjoy the new stash all the more having waited for it, sometimes the anticipation is the best bit! You did some great things on your day off, I’ve never been to the Palace of Westminster but seeing the Queen lie in state on the TV was something else.
I’m looking forward to the Paralympics too, i enjoy it almost more than the original.

It’s good sometimes to have a break. I find I come back looking at things with new eyes. Hope your stash arrives soon

Glad you had a good week off, Helen, including round some places I used to work - Stratford for NR, and around Victoria for Crossrail. I used to love walking across Green Park to see the pelicans. Your Kew photo were lovely and the waterlily photos are fab. Loved your journal page, too.
Take care and happy WOYWW,
Hugs
