WOYWW 832 - 16th anniversary

 Happy WOYWW to you all and welcome to  the 16th anniversary!  Started all those years ago by Julia and now in the safe hands of Sarah.... where does time go!  We've definitely all been through good times and bad times but week after week we get together and feel better!  Lifelong friendships have been forged, we may come and go but we remain strong and together.  

I did manage to make an atc to share here today but not multiples to post - though there will be one for a PIF partner 


I used a bubbles stencil I've not used for -  well years! that is by Dutch Doobadoo.  The  frondy stamp is by Dina, the words are from a Seth Apter stencil for Stencil Girl and the paper dolls are Tim's   




I also started another pair of journal pages

which you'll probably gather I forgot to photograph in daylight so it's a bit dark!









Of course, it was Kew on Saturday, and a beautiful day it was too 
it is allium time- one of my all time favourites 
and plenty of wisteria still too.   



I'll be round to catch up as soon as I can  - and thanks to Mary Anne for the atc that came in the post, most unexpectedly. It is of course, beautiful!

Loving your ATC reminiscent of the 80th VE celebrations lately too. Love the silhouettes on your journal pages. And yes Allium, I have 2 out in my garden, planted in memory of my Dad, the lack of water this Spring has kept them small this year though. Happy anniversary BJ#1

I never remember to consider aliums for our little garden until I see them blooming elsewhere, aren't they wonderful. That photo with the blue sky is just lovely. Of course your ATC is great, love the choice of words and what you've said about our 'age' , too true.
