I think I promised Summer last week on WOYWW and what lovely weather we have had the past few days here in the SE of the UK.
I have received 4 ATC swaps from last week's mega blog party. Japanese from Claire, Cupcake from Nikki (all the way from Canada), Butterflies from Lottie. and the Flower from Helen. Nikki included some Talking Tags which look like super fun.
I went to The Craft Barn's Extravaganza on Sunday afternoon and saw Karen from Tando and her sister Dawn and bought a few supplies too (couldn't help myself LOL). Karen gave me the rose napkin which is sure to come in useful for my 12 months pages this month.
I have been adding to my June calendar page on 12 Months in View, where the flower of the month is the Wild Rose. I carved another stamp for my calendar page and I've made a coronation tag of our Queen too.
I learnt how to do stencil bumping at craft club last week as well.Quite a busy crafty week then.
Hope you all have a good week to come.
Happy WOYWW.

I saw the Queen's 60th anniversary of being on the throne on the news tonight. It was good to see you made the tag to honor her day.
I was a bit jealous to read you got to meet both Dawn and Karen. I watch their blogs, too. And you may remember, they were BOTH in my AB workshop, too.
Happy WOYWW. No number yet, cause Julia's still sleeping.

Hi BJ, love your Coronation tag and the wonderful ATCs you got. That white Dylusions spray is my favourite, it covers a multitude of sins (in my case!). The seaside stencil looks amazing too, not seen that one. Hugs. Happy WOYWW, Anne x #52

Lovely ATCs. How lucky to be near enough to visit the Extravaganza too. We would have loved that.
Waving hi from the bears@#85 this week.
Hi BJ - its lovely to see all the ATC's around everyone's desks... Happy WOYWW... Mxx #98
Another fab WOYWW post sweetie, I love your stash pile and can't wait to see what you do with your napkin.
Lucky lady too, what beautiful ATC's you got in your swap.
I adore your hand carved stamps and you have inspired me to have a go as soon as I can find some decent sized rubbers to try with ha ha!!
Was a delight to meet you over the weekend too, very special.
Huge hugs x
Love all the photos of your work and space. I don't think I have ever heard of stencil bumping.

Love all your ATc's & new crsft stash! You have certainly done some influence to the weather, its been beautiful. Keep it up, please, :). Have a great week, Hugs Shaz xx #33
I keep forgetting to try stencil bumping. Love the shadow effect though so I need to give it a whirl. Lovely ATC's. waving hi from the hills of North Carolina ♥ #12
Your desk looks wonderful with all the cards you've made and loving seeing all the ATC's everyone got too have fun with the tags
hugs Nikki 2
It sounds as though you have had a busy week. I love your garden photos. That rhododendron is stunning.I wouldn't worry about the Welsh poppies. They are very hard to kill. I used to live on the Welsh border (before I moved to Spain) and my garden was full of them. I even transported some to my sister's garden down on the south coast and she still has them.
It has been fun to see eveyone's ATCs today. They are all special in their own way.
I didn't think I would like digital scrapbooking but I did a few on-line tutorials and now I love it. I think eventually I will end up making hybrids - digital with 'real' embellishments. Thanks for popping by my blog today. Kate x #33
Hi BJ,there is lots to see on your desk this week. Glad you had a good day at the Craft Barn (very envious) look forward to see what you do with the new goodies. Your coronation tag is lovely it has a very regal look.
Happy art making
Hugs Lottie #45

I love the little birdie designs on your desk!

Busy week for you. Love the new stash! Cool tag to honor the Queen. Great ATCs! It's that puzzle one creative. Your calendar pages are gorgeous! A bit late hopping... Happy WOYWW! Nan G #103
Lovely crafty bits on your desk today and that tag of the queen is brilliant along with your calendar pages. Annette #8
Ooh, your desk has some gorgeous bits on it! Are the birds a stamp? I love them! Thanks for stopping by earlier and leaving me a comment, sorry I've taken so long to get back with you...stupid gallbladder is acting up again! Hope you're doing well and having a great WOYWW! Hugs, Deeyll #144
Hi, BJ, I'm late in returning your visit from last week -- happy belated WOYWW. :) Lovely stuff you've got going on this week -- I jumped over to check out "stencil bumping" because I'd never heard of it -- now I definitely want to try it! ~ Laura #106
