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

P.S. If you've arrived here on the off chance and are wondering what's going on hop over to Julia "Queen of the WOWWers" blog to find out what it's all about. Link is on the side of my blog.

Firstly apologies to all you fab WOYWWers....I didn't manage to get round to you all last week because we all invaded my sisters in Cirencester and did lots of day trips. Cadbury World was yummy and Legoland in the POURING rain was an experience!!! I think my sister breathed a sigh of relief when we left on Thursday afternoon!!
I did manage to get some crafting done over the weekend and if you want a look they are on previous posts. I must admit I did come home from work last night and had a massive tidy up and here's what it looks like now(piccie taken last night @11.00pm- sorry it's a bit dark, the bulb has gone in my main light!!!)

It's my Birthday on Friday and I'm off back up my sisters for the weekend and on Saturday we're off to LB Crafts for a "Shabby Shack" workshop with the amazingly talented Lin Brown.......What a fab birthday pressie! I'll show you what I made next week.
Thanks for all the fab comments last week and I'll stop by for a snoop over the next couple of days.....

Happy snooping.xx

We're visiting my sister's in Cirencester this week and so far we have been  to Cadbury World  (they give you chocolate as you go around......scrummy!!!)and LegoLand. Not sure what we are up to today yet.

WOYWW 'week 61'

Not much and the Bermuda Triangle..........

Camera  batteries have decided to give up the ghost on me this morning so no desk sorry........so I thought I'd show you a book I made for my friends birthday last week - she has real trouble remembering birthdays so I thought this would be a good idea........

a

and here's the inside....

and now for the "Bermuda Triangle" - For those of you with a neat and tidy disposition look away now!!! I live in a bungalow and about 2yrs ago we converted one room into two so I could have a craft room and because of the hall way I ended up with a triangle space in my room and this is what it looks like......

.........a mess!!! The drawers have my coloured card and paper and  the rest  needs to be sorted. I must get DH to put some shelves in there.
Thank you for all the lovely comments last week, off to work now so I'll see you later or over the next few days!
Have a great Wednesday and happy snooping!

xx
