WOYWW 833

 Hello lovely deskers, welcome to another week's WOYWW .  It was good to celebrate our 16th anniversary last week. The link is over at Sarah's

I am sharing the atc from Mary Anne and the card from Jan that I received. 

I am sorry I couldn't join the zoom get together-(although the code didn't come through)  as  I was quite late back from Kew) I hope you all had a good natter

I took a shot standing up of my workspace this time

before a close up of the journal spread I worked on at the weekend  




Last week's trip to Kew was colourful 

tulip tree flower 

and the ox eye daisies are back in the rock garden 

I have a few days off now so depending on Wednesday's weather I may be out when you visit.

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!  

 

WOYWW 738

 Hi deskers,  it's Wednesday again - the last one in July... WTH? (trying not to swear) Anyway, Wednesday, desk day. WOYWW day.   

A slightly ore productive non desk this week.

but first, an anniversary atc and badge - a replacement, from beloved head desk girl Julia, as the original got lost in the post.

with a cute card.  which I seem to have photographed very badly!

thanks so much Julia!  

Now, to my productivity...

I used the scraps I had left from the journal page 2 weeks ago and turned them into 2 cards.

I spent some time rummaging in a box of stamps for a greeting for the one on the left,  until I used a different one completely

I had to move a load of stuff from the top of the box (its the one behind my "desk" that has the basket full of more stuff sitting on top of it

to see what was inside.. I knew there'd be some text-y stamps in there and oh look, my peg stamps top right.   I wonder when I last opened this box!

this basket here... 

and I made the start of another background with some of Seth's older stamps and a more purple-y colour way 

Saturday was of course, Kew... another lovely visit 

just one tempting photo as this has been a long enough post.

a gorgeous flowering cactus in the Princess of Wales conservatory.

Thanks for looking, happy WOYWW!
