Well it has certainly been a week and a half since the crop. First Hubby tested positive for Covid on the Tuesday and then #3 son last Friday. I have been consistently testing negative. They managed to avoid it in March when I was positive and it seems the reverse is true now. EDIT Hubby tested negative yesterday evening.
I had a very nice surprise in the post at the end of last week. I had ordered the new Distress watercolour pencils but thought I would be waiting for them until November, so when they arrived early it was great. Having seen Angela (Felix the Crafty Cat) playing with them at the crop I was keen to get my hands on them. Haven't had much time to play with them but they work really well with a watercolour brush pen - especially on watercolour paper.
EDIT I was very saddened to hear of the death of Debbie Rock on Monday evening. SHe was a much valued member of WOYWW and a generous and talented crafter. I will always treasure the pieces that I have which she made.

I've only just seen on Julia's and Jan's post about Debbie. Such a loss, such a kind generous lady.
Enjoy your crayons and I look forward to seeing the results! Helen #3
Such a sad day on hearing about Debbie's passing.
Those pencils of Angela's looked lovely so you just get pleasure out of them each day - with your challenge maybe.
Hugs, Neet 5 xx
Very sad news about Debbie and wish I could have met her. I really look forward to seeing how you get on with the pencils and pleased they have arrived early. Loving the journal pages too but sorry to here about the family getting covid it's definitely getting going again. Take care and stay safe. Sending hugs, Angela x9x
Hope your hubby and son are feeling better now - G and I still v tired, not much gumption to do anything - and now Rhys has joined in too. Love those pencils, hope you have fun with them.

I too have some treasured pieces by Debbie. It’s a great shock to me, so I’m quietly processing. Meanwhile, your pages look great, and am fascinated b6 your buying the distress watercolour pencils…again, I’m thinking they make more sense than other products in the distress range, have fun with them!
What a nice surprise in the mail! I haven't seen the Distress Pencils yet, but I do have a lot of watercolour pencils already. Your butterfly pages are lovely! So sad to hear about Debbie, I didn't know her but she obviously made an impact on the group. So nice to be remembered like that! I hope your hubby and son recover quickly, sounds like your hubby already has! Lindart #21
