My desk is a mess in preparation for these events but I also just wanted to actually complete something, just for me. Many months ago I did the Creative Stash Diving prompt from Shimelle's Pretty Paper Party class and made quite a few layouts to their first stage. They need titles, journalling and embellishing so I pulled those out, chose one, and I've part way through it. The others are scattered around with my on-going Smash book, some paint samples, and a very cold cup of tea. I wouldn't ever have a drink on the table if anyone else was working with me but its my work I would spoil so I don't worry too much. I was at a class once where a can of coke went over someone else's work and destroyed the last segments of the papers that were needed to complete a layout. It was a very uncomfortable situation and I'm glad it didn't involve me!
Its half term here but B is at nursery and Management is off so the boys are watching The Empire Strikes Back while I rest on the sofa. They've had a busy morning of fixing stuff and doing "blue" jobs and as a special treat, L got a burger from the awful van at B&Q like the "real workmen" do. I pretended I wasn't allowing them to have one and that I would cross if they had a burger in secret and L was beside himself with excitement at a big boys outing and a secret from Mummy! We've all been so poorly and jaded for the last few months that it is good to see him really giggle. I love half term!
Bye for now

Hope you feel better; you have a lot to do!
ReplyDeleteYay, for WOYWW
ReplyDeleteI've missed you!
Do I spy some OA stash to the left of the picture?
Hope you're soon back to what you call normal!
I had my tonsills whipped out back in the day when that's what they did!

Sounds a perfect way to spend half term, Lisa.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad that you are on the road to recovery. It's been a strange start to the year for so many people hasn't it. We've had a rough one too but thankfully things are improving now, fingers crossed.
Your LOs are looking gorgeous and you definitely need a brew to help things along.
Happy WOYWW

Hope you get feeling better soon, now that you know what's going on. I like the paper layering you've got going on in the layout in the foreground. :)

So sorry you're feeling yukky, but so glad you joined in at the last minute. Well technically speaking you had another 8 hours or so :p
ReplyDeleteI've been looking out for you today xx
No wonder you were feeling pants! Tonsilitis is horrid - let's hope the drugs sort it out quickly...
ReplyDeleteI laughed at the illicit burger story - DH has done that too when the boys were younger! Rather them than me :)
Have fun with all the crafting, you've got some lovely LOs going on there - hope you get to your crop! I'll get in contact re the bag when I get back from Wales, if that's ok...
Hugs, LLJ ~72 xx
Hope you feel better soon, so glad you decided to join in this week Happy WOYWW, Hugs May x x x
ReplyDeleteOh Lisa, am so glad that you have some meds, hope you start to feel much better very soon. Poor you, such a waste of time being ill! Am delighted by your story of the boys' working outing, how exciting. Photos or not, it needs preserving as a memory!
ReplyDelete...oh it's horrible when you feel unwell and when it lingers on and on...throats are especially worse...glad you got AB's hope you feel better soon...Mel :)

Super cute story about 'big boys DIY outing' Half term is always the time for re-charging everyones batteries,its lovely hearing your child giggle! Hope you start to feel lots better soon, depression sucks Big time! I know too well! Lou @#91
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear your not feeling so well. Certainly hope your better by the weekend. At least you can do a little crafting.
ReplyDeleteHere's to hoping that medicine makes you feel better soon.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you are getting a lot accomplished though. Sometimes feeling poorly is a good excuse to just sit and do some finishing up!
Not to tidy, vacuum or deep clean though...better to delegate out those tasks so you can create!
Lovely LO and how exciting to have been to Uluru. Hope things improve for you.
ReplyDeleteI hope you are feeling a lot better soon. It certainly feels like it has been a long old winter doesn't it!
ReplyDeleteHope you are feeling better soon. Your layout is looking good. I know what you mean about needing to make something for yourself, seems a while since I've done any stuff just for me (and it's not like I've got a pile of stuff waiting to be tackled...)
ReplyDeleteHope you're feeling better soon, your desk looks all fun and creative. Take care, thanks for sharing & hope you enjoy this week's WOYWW. Zo xx 86
ReplyDeleteHope you feel better soon. Your desk is looking very pretty with the polka dot background.
