WOYWW 228

This is what happens to your desk when you don't put things away after a crop because you just can't wait to get on with something!

The thing that I wanted to get on with is the lettering cut out of denim.  It is for a scrapbook page that I started at the Artful Angels crop on Saturday that will go in that gorgeous woodgrain chevron album.  I've Mod-Podged the denim to stiffen it so its just waiting to dry.  


What else do we have dumped there?  Well the orange bag is a wheatie, much needed today after a session of acupuncture on my neck.  On the left of the mat is a little pile of Christmas presents waiting to be added to the list in my festive planner (coming soon to a blog near you ;-)).  I'm excited about doing the French knitting with the children after Christmas.  If you think I am early, well actually I feel a bit late because I really wanted to get this all done before November because of NaNoWriMo but I have made a jolly decent start.

Also this week I've had a few birthday cards to do including this one for my Step-Dad.  It was a free stamp, coloured with Promarkers and I am quite pleased with it even though I don't normally like my cards.



So what's on your desk today?  Caring is sharing so link up with the rest of the snoopers at Stamping-Ground and see what inspiration strikes.

Bye for now

  1. I like your card too. Male cards are so tricky I find.

  22. Um, about half an hour ago I lifted a big pile of stuff off my desk and set it on the floor. Then I stood on it. That's a lot of cutting round the crumpled bits, then..

    Love French knitting! Very addictive

  24. Letters from blue jeans - what a great idea. I may have to try that. I hope the acupuncture helps your neck feel better. I like your card too - very masculine. I have the hardest time making masculine cards. All mine have flowers. LOL

  33. NaNowrimo? that's going to take me til next Christmas to work out! I have two books (one in two parts and one whole book) finished, but, I'm cutting chunks out and its taking longer than the actual 'write' My other story isn't finished and was just a tester on Wattpad so that's having a bit of a 'rest' until I can get the main one finished! now I'm #28 happy woyww
