WOYWW #147

I don't believe it! I have not shared anything here for a WHOLE week! I'm sorry peeps, it's been a helluva few weeks but I will try to do better!  Anyway, you are either here to see my desk or just curious to see what I'm up to; welcome one and all. (There are plenty more desks HERE at Julia's place)
Here is my desk
 So, on the right, some new birthday goodies, New Idea-ology tags and cards, embossing folders and the new bag die. Jelly beans- hiding here so I get to eat them rather than my daughter..... one of those kind of gifts! Next to them, some experiments with papers and embossing and in the background there's a card.

 More birthday treats; shimmer sprays and a file which is all the embossing folder samples from the class I did at The Craft Barn on Friday. Great fun experiments with what you can do with your embossing folders!
Then; aren't these gorgeous; from my wife. She said she knows I could make them myself but thought I'd like them anyway as she did. I'm going to use them for storage but not sure exactly what yet.
 Then lastly these wings, and a feather. Got plans for the wings but I'll show you later!
So there's my place this week. In other news, Mom in Law is here from South Africa; been running back and forth to the tip; trying to catch up with deadlines, painting the daughter's bedroom and went to see Grease on Saturday evening which was fab. Now I need to catch up with more deadlines so I'll see you all later!
Oh yes, before I go, it's paint effects week over at The Craft Barn blog and I'm sharing a little travel journal/notebook cover HERE if you are at all interested in taking a look.

  5. Oooh nice birthday haul there!! Happy belated birthday, and I'm sure you will come up something fantastic as usually regarding those boxes! LOVE the way you use a lot of texture in your work as well. I so wish I had more money to try and get a few basics to give me a bit of a start in having a try. I have a few ideas but need to try them out to see if they will work first.

    Take care and Happy WOYWW

  8. That should be 'this' and 'folder'! Trying to get round more desks leads to typos!
