WOYWW 803

 Can someone please explain how the weeks go so fast? We find ourselves hurtling into Wednesday again for WOYWW hosted by Sarah.    

I had a bit of panic at the weekend at how little of my Christmas card prep I've done - but then I never usually do them this early... anyhow I decided I'd do batch making big style this year and cracked out some masterboards. 

I used a couple of my favourite stamps that I use loads at Christmas - wooden mounted Magenta stamps from loads of years ago, and I love them.

I filled 2 A4 sheets in shades of blue 3 in shades of purple and then with the other stamp, one in greens/grey (my million year old silver Encore ink pad has gone sticky and odd)  and one in reds. 

the inks are Versafine Clairs.  So when those little lot (with the 3 or 4 sheets I did a few weeks ago) should make quite a few cards.

Kew last week was... interesting.   Forecast was heavy rain, and it did, for a while.  I also managed to trip up a step at the Temperate House (the same step Kim tripped up whilst she was still on crutches)  

There was however, lots of beautiful tree colour.  you can see the photos here 

the bottom step was the one that caused the fall, and the idea was to post at the sign for the new exhibit Rare and Extinct inside....I said we could pretend we were the rare (or maybe extinct) the sign was referring to.

Kim told me to pose.  (this is after I picked myself up again)

I just misjudged where the step was as I turned round and fell back onto the step, on my bum..... big ouch!  

anyway,  I'm fine, the bruises will fade and as I say, the camera wasn't broken 

Hopefully your week was less dramatic and I'll be round to check your desks soon.  Happy WOYWW!
