WOYWW 507

Good morning all, time to head off to the Stamping Ground for our weekly desk hop.  A short post from me today.  I've taken a day off work to go to Leeds and have some girlie time with my eldest daughter. "Ladies what lunch"

My side desk, in all it's glory (no pic of main desk, it's just too untidy for words or pictures)

At the left side are my grandchildren's Christmas stockings, found in a box I was emptying.  I made them when my youngest grandchild was a bump, That my daughter had nicknamed Moonie, and have never got round to changing it.  To the left at the back is the card I made Mr M, all ready for scrapbooking, to the right are some card blanks/envelopes and stamps I bought in the sale at Inspirations.  At the front some acrylic blocks that need cleaning, and the two floral albums at the right are for an idea I had to put together albums for inspiration, as frequently I lose my mojo!  Not sure if they will be sketches, photos of cards I have made, magazine cut outs or what .... any ideas ladies?

An update on my card sale at work last week.  I took 10 valentines cards in and sold 8, raising £27.  Not too bad, but apparently I should have taken them in earlier!  

Thanks for stopping by, and please do leave a comment,  I love to read them.  Have a lovely week, Heather x

Hello all

I'm back to take part with Julia and the crowd at WOYWW!  I don't really have any excuses for missing 4 weeks, just been busy with work, family, home improvements and not much me time.  Bits, and I mean bits, of crafting have occurred, but nothing serious until the last few days when I decided to make some Valentine's cards to sell at work for charity.  So my desk has the remnants of card making.  I didn't quite have the exact stamps I wanted so I made some!  Some for the fronts of cards, and some for the verses.  Anyways on to my desks:

Side desk has some of the cards, close ups at the end of the post, and some of the stamps I made.  I made 2 of each style, so hopefully a few pounds for this month's charity at work.

Main desk has the bits and pieces I was using to make the cards.

Exhibit 1 - I made the large love stamp, and the love definition stamp.  The love heart stamps are from my stash.

Exhibit 2 - everything from my stash, apart from a new embossing folder

Exhibit 3 - I made the large love stamp, everything else from my stash.

Exhibit 4 & 5 - everything from my stash.  Card 4 was copied from Pinterest.

For the curious, I used the Teresa Collins Stampmaker that Mr M bought me last year, or was it the year before??  Messy, time consuming, but great way to get exactly the stamp you want!

That's all for me.  I'll be round to visit, although it might take a little while as it's my brother's birthday today, Valentine's Day tomorrow, and my monthly spa facial thingy on Friday after work.   Ooh in my 4 weeks away I had reflexology for first time ever - why have I not had it before - it was great!  Have a lovely week Heather x
