WOYWW 311…The crop part 2


Well, I say part 2, but part 1 here only had photos of the area where the crop is held(it is beautiful if you want take a peek)
First though, the desk - taken this morning at about 8.00.
This is after all why we are here and Julia welcomes anyone with desk to show - you don't even have to pitch up each week(although you probably will - it's addictive once you start snooping err…showing!!!)Just link to her blog at the Stamping Ground.Mine shows the aftermath of (a) returning from the crop and dumping stuff (b)making a quick card - really quick - 10 minutes before we were due to go and pick up GD yesterday so we could hand deliver it on the way!!
Okay…I know why you are really here today - photos of the crop coming up - in no particular order!!
Just after the 'Official' photo - can't possibly reveal what Julia said!!!
LLJ having a moment!!! I think Julia has named all these lovely folk on her crop blogpost!


As you may know it was Zo's 40th birthday last week - we all signed her card!

Red, white and blue - Shaz(silverwolf), me, Zo(craftygashead)
Lunch is served - a wonderful choice of delicious food, Debbie(Tatteredrocks) and 
Maggie(Silvercrafter) have just got theirs from Julia and Jan
We all had a great time - lots of chat, some crafting, coffee, cake (couldn't resist Fiona's Lemon cake)- then came the packing up!
Hettie, Zo and Lisa
Dolores(Cardarian and Mary-Anne(Scrappystickyinkymess) didn't want to go
…and now the shots I know you will love….Helen(Stamping by H) packing up her stuff!!

It did all go back in too - although I've never seen a suitcase with quite so much in it!!!
I was lucky enough, as you will see in pics on LLJ's, Helen's and Julia's blogs, to work between Cindy and Helen!

 So, that's it….I will be hoping to swap ATCs next week but will be starting pack for our long holiday! I'll try to show you the ATCs I got at the crop too!!

 Thanks for looking, Chris

    It was good to see Helen smiling. She really DOES pack a lot in the suitcase, doesn't she!

    Whatever Julia said, it must have been a doozie, because everyone was laughing.

    So glad you had fun at the crop, and I saw how your hubby helped with the dishes. He's a keeper, I would say!

    Thanks for the visit. Happy WOYWW from #1.

    What a great day! And what a great weekend (I looked at your earlier post)! How nice that you could make a mini holiday out of it. I did enjoy seeing all the pics from the crop day. A fabulous get together :)

    LOL! Yep, I totally hung in there till the last possible second :) Lovely to see you but it was all too short a time. I never got to say how much I loved your journal page - those fishes made me smile. I did ATCs a while back all with a bit of a fishy theme. I love underwater colours and totally disagree with that whole "blue and green should never be seen" malarky! Add in B&W and it's a magic combo.
    See you next year!


    Happy pre-anniversary WOYWW!

    crumbs I don't remember you taking those pictures!! good job you were on that side of me or you'd have had all my gappy teeth on show...
    Your desk today does look a bit like "push it back and pile it up out of the way" (I should know, although of course I don't have a proper desk!) Thank you for being so kind about sitting next to me, glad you enjoyed it as much as I did!! Helen 7 (don't the girls and I will be doing the next Port Sunny, Glasgow is on the cards...)
