April has come to an end and with it the Brown/Sepia #dailycollage2024 pages in my ring bound journal. I have chosen green for May as it was my father's favourite colour and today would have been his 90th birthday.

WOYWW 778: The Anniversary Nears
Congratulations to Julia (and Jan), I can hardly believe that the 15th anniversary of WOYWW get togethers is only a fortnight away. Closely followed by the crop on the 18th May.
My desk shows some of the tags that I will be bringing to the crop as I won't have time to make ATCs to swap. At the moment we are 10-12 crafters plus a plus one. However if there are any more last minute additions all will be welcome. Please see my post last week for the address. We will be getting going at 10am and will finish at 4pm to allow time for clearing up. Eva and I will be bringing tea and coffee and I have had one offer of cake as well. I forgot to mention the sandwich shop which is across the road as well as the chippy and convenience store last week. Annie also reminded me about the raffle and is bringing raffle tickets. Please bring something for the raffle and if you have anything to donate to the sale stall all money raised from these will be going to the British Heart Foundation.

A Bee Birthday Card

WOYWW 777: The Crop is On
Well I made it through the first day back at work - just. Had a telephone consultation with occupational health yesterday - required for the cover insurance at school. Was glad for the day off and had a great time at my recorder group in the afternoon.
I have been making cards using the Barbara's Loving Heart stamp set from Clarity Crafts. I didn't get them posted in time for the craftalong but will send them in with my next lot of samples. The mojo comes and goes.

WOYWW 776: Saying Our Goodbyes
On Monday we said our good-byes to Paul at a packed service. It went so well and was a beautiful way to remember him.
The flowers are from the spray which was on the coffin. There is another larger vase in the house full too and I am pressing two of the roses. Thank you again for all the love and support which came our way. The wake was also a celebration of his life.
