Good morning world, I hope everyone is staying safe in a world gone crazy.  Wednesday mornings will remain as an escape to sanity courtesy of the wonderful Julia and WOYWW.  This weeks post is short and sweet.  Following my wisdom tooth extraction, I just wanted to curl up and do nothing, so ... only a few Mother's Day cards were made at weekend, to sell at work.  Exhibit A - my main desk - I do like my colouring on the jug of tulips!

However, none of these will be sold at work!  As from yesterday, here is Exhibit B - side desk is now my work desk, as I am working from home for who knows how long!

Stay safe and well, and have a lovely week, Heather xx

Good morning everyone.  I'm not in work today.  Just got back from hospital after having a wisdom tooth extracted, so thought I would distract myself with the best blog hop in town - WOYWW.  Head on over if you are curious!

Please don't faint ... but I have been crafting!  Side desk shows a lovely envelope/invitation die set I just bought for my daughter's wedding invitations.  I also bought a couple of back editions of Simply Lettering and a Tombow lettering beginner's  kit - although it says advanced, it looks like a beginner's essential kit to me.  Let the calligraphy fun begin!

Main desk has the first sample invitations - just having a little play with the dies really.  The wording on the Order of Service made my daughter laugh when I showed them to her.  She's quite taken with the design on the right.  Sneaking in on the picture at the far right is a pack of glossy photo paper for a laser printer ... any guesses what my Christmas present was...

And final shot is my Christmas  present- a new colour laser printer, so I can print all the backgrounds I want, and the photos for the multitude of scrapbooks I have on the go!  Next to that is my box of A4 papers that won't fit in the cabinet below, and next to that are all my 6x6 paper pads.   At the top of the photo are some IKEA tubs, hooks and shelf- more storage!  I have come to the conclusion that crafting supplies expand to fit twice the space available.

Hope you are all safe and well.  Please leave a comment if you stop by, I love to read them.  Have a lovely week, Heather xx

Once again Wednesday has sneaked round super fast.  I'm prepping this on Tuesday evening as my desk won't change overnight, and I have an early start in the morning.  All in a good cause - a world wide desk hop around the best blogs, courtesy of Julia and WOYWW

My main desk has a scrapbook that I am working on, that is for our family holidays, days out, barbecues, christmas celebrations - our grandchildren adore the Santa Express train!  On top of that are some Lego Ninjago characters for colouring and making into birthday cards.  To the right at the back are my floral sample folders for cards I have made.

Side desk has my travel scrapbook, covering the travels that Mr M and I have been on during our 9 years together.  We have managed to pack in a lot of travelling!  I wrote a list of the different countries we had visited and there were 23 different countries - and a handful of them we have visited a few times!  Two more countries to add to the list this year - Corfu and Trinidad & Tobago.  I might need a new scrapbook soon.  The blue tubs are repurposed washing tablet tubs that now hold my cards that I sell at work.  It's easier to divide them up into categories, just need a few more tubs.  The papers at front right are out of the various scrapbooks I am working on.  Each one had 4 sheets of this lovely parchment coloured paper.  Once I have mastered the art of calligraphy, I am going to get cracking with some family trees.  Both my parents and all my aunties and uncles have all passed on a long time ago, so me thinks this will be a lengthy process.  

That's all for me.  Please leave a message so I know you stopped by, I do love to read them.  Have a lovely week Heather xx
