WOYWW #522- The After the Crop Edition.

Yes, indeed, here we are again, this week with the after the cake crop edition. As always brought to us by our Queen Julia, First of her name, Mother of Desks,Forger of Friendships- and she has the Tiara to prove it! GoT references end there.😄

 You will surely have seen a huge number of photos of the day by now, I know LLJ and Helen both did a blog post with loads of fab pics.
So I'm not going to flood you with pics, just some of the memorable ones for me.

A pair of strange ladies in the photo booth.

Followed by a pair of strange men!

Much laughter was shared, as you can see, wish I could remember what was so funny!

Our leader, and her deputy, along with our two lovely hostesses for the day, Jo & Annie.

We had an amazing day, full of love, fun & cake, as a good crop should be. I got to meet some crafters for real for the first time- Zsuzsa, Caro & Catriona, And catch up with some others I'd not seen for a while, Anne, (Copperbeech), and Dolores, (Cardarian), to name but two.

Many ATC's were exchanged- top row PearshapedChris, Zsuzsa,Margaret( Glitter&Glue),Dolores, next row
 LLJ, then below that,Neet,Christine( Bishopsmate), Anne (Copperbeech),Caro, a bookmark and badge as well.Below them A lovely little hanging atc from Heather, and then Dolores again!( Should be in Debbies pile.)

The tag is from Sarah, the one next to it should be in Debbies pile too, lol, then Stamping byH,a PTC from Maggie, (Silvercrafter) , next row Heather, Mrs D, Jo and finally Elizabeth.

Little gifts from lots of people- Catriona in the silver bag, Annie (Wipso) made coasters, a notebook and biccies from Julia, mini purse from Jan, and Debbies ATC which was a really chunky one made from a stone type of material.

Finally, had two arrive in the post- Robyn on the left, and my PIF, Kyla on the right.





And so I'm done, very little crafting has been managed, I'm working on a Wedding Card for a work friend, so can't show that yet, and it's not finished, and I forgot to take photos of the cards I made at the crop- all two of them!




But that just leaves......And Finally........

WOYWW #512= The After Concert Edition.

We're back from our weekend away. The concerts- Birmingham Friday & Prestatyn on Saturday- were both fantastic, we had a great time.


As always, Wednesday id Desk Sharing Day over at Julias place, The Stamping Ground.

Couple of pics for you here.

 You really have to see the drum kit to believe it- it's enormous.

 Beside the sea, so we had to go down to the beach, then as it was lovely & sunny, an Ice Cream was in order. ( Julia did confirm it's the Law!)

   Having a look around the area during the day on Saturday, and came across Dyserth Waterfall, right on the edge of the town.















Took a short video on my phone.





So no crafting till we got back, and I got the Mothers Day cards finished. Based off a design I've used for Birthday cards, using Honey Doo stamps. Putting them down here so they don't show on FB, lol.
Speaking of FB, I'm putting this question in case anyone has any ideas. I have a crafting & blogging friend, and every time she- or anyone- tries to post a link to her blog posts on FB, it says it goes against their Community Standards. So, you ask for a review, telling them it's not spam, they review it, agree they got it wrong, then allow the post. Next time she tries to post, the same thing happens again! There doesn't seem to be any way to speak to a human being, and the Help Forum is totally misnamed! We suspect someone has maybe in the past marked her posts as spam, and that's what's causing the problem. But there doesn't seem any way of getting FB to sort it out. If anyone has any ideas, they'd be most welcome.
 Just got a Wedding card to make, then I'll be back to the glittering, lol.
 So, all that brings me to .......And Finally.......
