WOYWW #224


I wasn't around last week for WOYWW I missed you guys.. We went on a trip for the week to Phillip Island.. So when we where not exploring and walking, I was collecting pamphlets and tickets from the places we visited so I could pop them in my new smash book. It was quite fun to have something to do with them.  I took the box on the right with a heap of bits and pieces that I had printed out before I went.. So just sat when we got back to the caravan at night and cut and pasted them into some kind of order, I really liked it, was quite relaxing.. I still have more to do. I want to make a flip out one of this pamphlet from the quarantine centre in Sorrento, Its from when the ships came through the heads if you had diseases on board you had to stop here back in the days of tall sail ships. So that's what's on the agenda to do while its all still fresh in my mind.. I will do a separate blog post for my trip of some photos of the highlights. The penguins where the highlight for me they where just so cute.

I am not really one for collecting souvenirs of places so this was what I brought when I was wandering around the shops..  The butterfly stamp is hand carved the lady said it works best with acrylic paint well that will be perfect for my new Gelli plate.. I loved these letter stamps they are so tiny and just the perfect size for on cards when you just cant find those perfect words.. Stamping sayings in the smash book yep will get some use out of these.. Chevron washi tape yes what a find.. Unusual souvenirs but ones that will get used so perfect for me.. 

Had to leave you with one picture of the beach,this is just over the dune from the caravan park where we stayed walked along here every day so peaceful, I was always the only one there..  
Julia from  WOYWW gets us all together every Wednesday to have a look at desks from all over the world.. Grab a cuppa, I have mine here, and take a browse.. Thanks for taking the time to comment and enjoy the blog hopping around all the desks.

Have a great day
Sandy :)

    Hi Sandy, oh gosh I remember Phillip Island and the cute penguins, can't believe they're still there lol. Great idea to journal all the bits n' bobs from your trip - happy memories and all that. Thanks for the 'tidy' compliment, I just can't seem to work in a mess, have to clear things away as I'm finished with them.
    Cheers, Elaine #28

    I love what you bought! How fabulous to have a stamp that works well with acrylic paint and one that will be unusual too! I love the idea of a Smash Book; I now look out for leaflets and so on when I visit places - it makes trips and holidays even more fun! Happy WoYWW! Julie Ann xx #45

    What a beautiful hand made butterfly stamp and your picture is wonderful

    That thing you where trying to figure out on my desk is a bracelet I haven't trimmed the edges of the thread off yet. I like to re-inforce the knots with a drop of glue to make them last longer.

    So glad you had a great time down at the island and those penguins are so cute waddling around and walking for miles to their homes in the dunes. I was so pleased to hear you had a good time and read about the old cottage art room, good giggle ha... Awesome finding some art supplies too. Anyway we will catch up soon as Di and I will be heading down to the new K shop, let me know when the move is complete will you.

    Say hi to DH

    Hugs Eliza & Yoda

    Looks like a beautiful place, haven't been down that far before, I've been down to Melbourne once and Sydney a few times but never that far down. You got some gorgeous little bits there. Love those letter stamps.
    Have a grat week.
