WOYWW '68'

Hi WOYWWers......
It's 6.05am  it looks like the middle of the night outside and I'm about to leave for work :(  I normally schedule my post as I never have enough time in the morning but I was too busy last night, so here's a very quick post.

Here's my desk this week.......

.....lots of Christmassy things going on because I have just booked to go to Disneyland Paris the weekend before Christmas (I must be mad!) and thought I'd better get very organised!!!

It was my Daughter's 25th Birthday on Monday, so I thought I'd show you the card I made her.......

and this is the card my 10yr old Son Dylan made (with very little help) for his sister....

 Dylan is off to an Activity camp in Llangranog (hands up who can pronounce that!!) with the school for the weekend, DH is working all weekend, so I'm planning to do all the chores on Thursday so I can stay in my Craft room  all weekend with out interruption ..........woo hoo!!

Hope you all have a great day, see you soon.

I know somebody says it every week but this week it's my turn " Where has the Week gone?"

Firstly............. I need to apologise to Elizabeth and Bluebeard for my spelling mistake last week (I wrote Bluebird).......sorry!!

Secondly.........I was lucky enough to get a place on the ArtsyCrafts event with the master himself................. Tim Holtz..........Woo hoo!!!

Thirdly.......Here's my desk......

Thought I'd go for the overhead view as this seems to be the fashion at the moment. This is how I left it last night at 11.30pm so on the messy scale of 1-10, I think I can qualify for a 10!!

For all of you who stopped by last week here's an update on my little cabinet...........

Not sure if its finished yet, any suggestion are more than welcome.


I'm off to work now at 'stupid o'clock', there should be a law against it.......... See you later (I managed every desk last week before Sunday.........hooray! Can I make it 2 weeks in a row - fingers crossed)

WOYWW '66'

First of all I would like to say a big THANK YOU to Bluebird and Elizabeth. who stopped by my blog yesterday to tell me that they are choosing me to be their 'Blog of the Day' for today. I am truly greatfull and please stop by there to say Hi.
As a result of desk hopping last week, I decided to sign up to the Learn Something New Every day. Well by now I should be starting project 7 but I've only just finished number 3 and have only blogged number 1. Lesson learned...............far too busy to take on a daily class!!!

Any way on Sunday in the pouring down rain, I went to a car boot sale (which was ironically named 'Stormy Down Market'!!) and found this..............

It had 12 glass bottles with stoppers in and was originally a 'Spice Cabinet'.  I knew instantly i NEEDED it, so I picked it up off the floor and the back of the drawers fell off........I turned quickly to my DH and without me saying a word he said "its OK I can fix that" and at the same time he was putting his hand in his pocket and getting out the £3:00 to pay for it........ I suppose my face said it all!!! 

Here it is now standing proud on my desk...............

.............still needs a lot more TLC before I can store my Distress Re Inkers in it, as suggested by my DS -  Dylan. (what a smart child I have ......sometimes!!) I've just got to collect all the re inkers now!!

 That's it from me, I've got a day off today to take Dad to the hospital for check up (he's doing OK thank goodness) and then to B&Q to see if I can find a glaze or varnish for my new addition!

See you later, Happy WOYWW..........xx

Learn Something New Everyday

Yesterday was the start of 'Learn Something New Everyday' class over on Shimelle.com and only yesterday I decided to give it a go.....(this is the point where my Sister picks up the phone and says "you never told me you were doing that"!)
I haven't done my front cover yet, that will have to wait until the weekend, but here's my first page/tag........

I love Hydrangeas and I remember a long time ago reading somewhere that you could dry them. So I went on the internet to find out what I had to do and then went and cut a few from my garden and followed the instructions..........So that's what I learned yesterday!!!!
You are generally a day behind and today so far I've learned that if I want to complete this class I need to be ultra organised.......so that's going to be my Tag for tomorrow!

Its not to late to join in, so go and have a look on Shimelle's blog to find out what its all about.

Thanks for stopping by.......xx

Hi WOYWW'ers

I was out on the town last Wednesday, well.....in the Harvester with a few girls from work!! so I was late visiting,  but I did manage everyone by Monday....... phew!!! Every desk I visited was fab, neat and tidy or messy oops! creative and the projects on show were all stunning.
Anyway I've had a few days off this week and when I haven't been rushing around for last minute School Uniform, I've been finishing off my WIP  'Christmas Screen' from last week..........

This was inspired by the lovely Linda Elbourne and I've used Paper Artsy papers and Paper Artsy stamps and a few bits of metal and here's my desk inspired by all you NEAT and TIDY woyww'ers.........

Happy WOYWW........xx
