WOYWW #780 - 15th Anniversary

EDIT - Please be aware that some comments are not showing up on my blog but I'm still getting the associated emails - phew

Happy Anniversary to WOYWW, can't believe it is 15 years! I missed the first couple of years but have been here on and off since my post #145 in March 2012. 

A Mahoosive congrats to Julia and gang for keeping this all going and showing up for us all each week much appreciated. After all it keeps me sane and reminds me what day of the week it is.

Here's my craftcorner yesterday, not quite as messy as Monday but messier than usual none the less.

I have made 12 ATC's and I have had a few requests for SWAPS in addition to whosoever I get as a partner so still some going if you'd like to swap or just have one, let me know. I think my collage work has improved on last year somewhat, good to know the courses are working.

I made an extra one for me, for the purposes of testing out my hairspray as a fixative, it seems to work.... Best not to get them wet though, the black Woody is very rich.

Have just discovered the Inktense pencils react to water initially but after they dry, are permanent, must get me some of those soon.

Here's my daily journal pages from the Messy May prompts

07:moments with watercolour paints

08:rays

09:open

10:reflect with Gelli Prints form Day 3 of Nest Fest

11:curiosity with the tea cards I found in an emporium

12:uncover

12:uncover (uncovered LOL!)

13:gathering of people/cloth/botanicals - lilac flowers from a walk so I added lilac oil to the cloth - divine.

14:shadows I made mine happy and stencilled better/properly since the Nest Fest lesson on "stencils" Monday.

So my third set of lessons started Monday and I got into a right pickle. Encounters in Colour is turning out to be where my heart is, it is scripture based and the Facebook group is delightful.

I did Monday's page in a whirl of stash and my room was like a bombsite over 3 hours later!!!! I was much more organised Tuesday with the prayer cards and even repeated Monday's verse in my mini Bible. 

And I got HAPPY MAIL yesterday too. Long story but my best school mate's Mum passed a while back and I mentioned the x-stitch I loved as a child and it was passed on to me. Maybe as I have ballet in my blood it is so special to me, who knows.

And the tea cards.

What a week.

Happy 15th WOYWW Anniversary

    You have some lovely ATCs. I see each is a tiny bit different. Your journal pages are filled with color and great collages. Really lovely art, BJ. Happy WOYWW 780 from # 1.

    Oooh love those tea cards and that cross stitch is beautiful. Knowing how much work goes into them I'm sure the maker would love to know it has gone to someone who will treasure it. Love those ATCs too. I don't have any to swap but if you have one left over I would be a very grateful recipient! Thank you for putting me on to Nest Fest by the way too. Happy anniversary, Lisa-Jane #18

    I've had a very busy, full on sort of day so I'm late visiting but determined to call in on every one to wish you a happy anniversary.
    Hugs,

    Belated Happy 15th Anniversary B-J. Busier than I wanted to be this week and off to the crop tomorrow. Can't believe this might be the end of WOYWW though I understand what a commitment it is - I can't even commit to post every week!! Your atcs are lovely, so glad we are swapping. Hopefully I'll see you next week!! Love n hugs Cindyxx #20
