WOYWW # 831

   It is Wednesday so

 I am linking to WOYWW at Sarah's craft shed

Follow the link to find out more about What's on Your Work Desk Wednesday and maybe join in... This is my post for WOYWW #831 


My desk looks much like last week....but you can see a junk journal cover in progress (made from a cereal box). I will share it when I have it finished. The image on the top is from Conjurer of Dreams. To the right there is also a pile of goodies just arrived - - not really unpacked yet.

More images from Conjurer of Dreams are here in thsi junk journal p[age - made from a brown paper bag.


These are this week's faux stamps :


On Friday morning (very early) I joined a Zoom with the UK Stampers Network - Jo shared this card technique and I made a couple of cards...


On the 3rd our lovely Mum would have been 94 - some years ago I bought her this rose 'My Lovely Mum'. I do hope it is still blooming in what was my parents' garden.


This is a picture from our garden today...


But that's all for now... hope to comment on you all this week.

 Last week just flew by and it is Wednesday again before I knew it!

I am working on an ATC to share...


Happy WOYWW!

The sentiment is a die from my stash.

If you look at my card you should be able to see the above colours with pale versions in the background paper.
