WOYWW 903/123: Out Gallivanting

Welcome to the weekly sharing of desks which is WOYWW (What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday?), the brainchild of Julia, who kindly entrusted it to me to continue after the first 15 years of togetherness.  Please feel free to link up your desk and visit others' - we are a friendly bunch.

Having been catching up with my club stencils, it was time to use more of the Clarity club stamps from this year, so I was having a browse through the project folder.  I was busy working on samples for the 34th birthday celebrations at the weekend so can't show any finished projects yet (you can check back tomorrow for the first one).








I have done a lot of gallivanting this week.  Two theatre visits which were fabulous - I bumped into some former colleagues after the second one so we did a little catching up.
On Sunday I visited Keele for the first time in 30 years and went on the heritage tour of Keele Hall.  This was home to both the French and German Departments in my final year ('86-'87) so has changed a great deal on the inside.

But not on the outside.  Hard to believe that I was in my final year 40 years ago!
Not too much gallivanting this week - recorders in Lichfield yesterday and a visit to Mum's on Friday.
Stay safe and Happy WOYWW.

  3. Looking forward to seeing what you've created! Going to the theater sounds wondrous to me, since other than our school students' performances, I haven't been to one in many years. Happy WOYWW!

    Curious about the theatre - what was it? Also still loving the cards and this set is particularly fabulous. Can't believe Clarity is 34! Amazing. Have fun making samples :)

  9. Good morning, Sarah!
    Love your ATCs. Thank you for including the Autun Equinox.
    What a treat to visit old stomping grounds. I'd love to go back to my old high school, maybe even speak to the English dept.
    Hugs & Creative Blessings!

  11. It's always fun going back - nothing seems the same as the first time! In my case I live in the city that I went to Uni in, so I see the changes all the time! Love the ATC's, my favourite today is the beach huts, so cute! Happy WOYWW and Happy Fall!🍂 Lindart #13
