WOYWW 696

 Gosh next month WOYWW'ers will reach 700 posts - well some will, I joined in the early days but not the first posting.  Last Saturday we met up, not all of us but some, and it was lovely to see one another after so long (Pandemic stopped us) but it seemed as if it was yesterday we had been with the sisters and Julia who did the organising.  It was a lovely day and we had a toast to past members, in particular to our Shaz who had touched everyone's lives in so many ways.  Must mention that we did miss Lunch Lady Jan who was busy in Edinburgh celebrating with her husband, Gordon, their Ruby Wedding Anniversary. 

I sat with Cindy who I was meeting in person for the first time, and I got on with my Wonky Book.  I had it cut out ready so just had to decorate it, and chose to do so with some of my Janet Klein figures.  The background was done simply with some of Abs' stencils and I still have to put some stamping on, despite having already stuck the figures on.  I decorated the cover when I got home as I had not done the cut outs previously - here it is and one of the pages:


Monday we went out for the day as we wanted to pick something up from the Lakeland Store and decided to go for a little walk along the edge of the lake.  We came across two tree stumps that people had been putting coins into and it led us to a lovely little 'beach' area.


We both agreed we would come back here in the summer and maybe bring a little picnic with us.  What's the betting there are lots of others with the same thoughts.  So glad we didn't leave it until yesterday as it was so wet and windy - the perfect day for staying in.  Showery again this morning.

As it is so wet and cool I think it is a perfect day to carry on with some crafting.  So I weill leave it there and get on, perhaps a bit of Lavinia and some fairies.
