WOYWW#122

Hi there
Welcome to my little Wednesday world. As always this is hosted by Julia and there is plenty more desks/floors/walls to see via Stamping Ground
Starting with my usual overview
In the foreground are some of the backgrounds and pieces from Saturdays demo minifest (Yes I did spread them out a little so you could see better instead of leaving them in a precarious pile!)
I do love the way these circles worked; they have a lovely vintage Christmas feel to them with the trapped shave ice in the UTEE. They sit really well on the sumptuous backgrounds.
 Now I just need to make the time to turn them into their finished Christmas cards.
Then, in the middle all ready to go are a couple of pieces of 12 x 12 and the Katzelkraft stamps I plan to use for a project so you know what I'll be doing just now.....
Then (And yes, I know it wasn't in the overview shot, I popped it on the desk because the floor is a mess!) Some lovely bits from a bootfair and stuff my wife bought me on Saturday.
Lovely Prima flowers, a still sealed perfect medium (A steal at £1.00) and the lovely wooden tray all from the bootfair and my wife bought me the star frames of which there are four on the string, just calling out to be altered slightly. The eagle eyed among you may have spied the "seed" boxes that have appeared in the main picture, they were also bootfair bargains and now house my punches. I need more room; does anyone know of a Tardis going cheap ?
Hope you all have a brilliant week and keep the sunshine in your spirit even if it is not outdoors.

    Lovely bargains to be had in your neck of the woods. Don't have a tardis I'm afraid. Was rather hopping you might start renting space out so I could spread over. Mrs A.

    Those backgrounds are amazing Neil, sumptuous is a perfect word to describe them. I spotted the Seeds boxes (being a gardener I would!) and just love them. You bootfair bargains are amazing, Prima flowers? Really? I love stars as well, and those ones look lovely and rustic. Looks like you've had a great week.
