WOYWW 818

 Happy WOYWW - desk sharing day...  

it's been a week of deliveries... new crafting goodies...

first up were some Paperartsy goodies, new stamps, a stencil and 3 more Mattint colours. 

I was restrained with this order, as I didn't get everything that was released!

I used some of the Seth Apter stamps in a journal...i was intending to do a light and dark version on the 2 pages but then stamped the darker pink on the light page.... oops oh well as Dina is fond of saying.

talking of Dina, hers was the next delivery - part of her new release (I was restrained with this order too, and didn't get everything!!)  

She's been teasing us in her supporter videos on facebook with the ledger journal for a while, and now here it is

its made of the same weight paper as in Dyan Reaveley's journals, nice and thick but cuttable.  

there are some blank pages too here and there, but the idea is, that the printed ledger pages remove the "fear of the blank page" syndrome some people have. 

Saturday at Kew saw the opening of this year's Orchid Display - and very beautiful it was too - head to the Kew post for lots of pics but here's one or two to tease you...  This year's featured country is Peru

the main display feature

loved the pelicans, there were several 

there will be more to come over the next 4 Saturdays - both Kim and I have booked a time slot for each of the Saturdays the festival is on.

thanks for looking, I'll be round to see what you've been up to soon.
