WOYWW and another card

I have actually been busy this week doing some more straightening in my crafty room and getting things together for some swaps I have signed up for.  I mailed off a couple cards yesterday and you can see the first card here that I made for a friend whose Mom had passed and a second card here that was also to a friend who is in the hospital.  I am sure they will enjoy them!  I think we all love getting snail mail now days.

Okay on to what we are here for today…WOYWW!  What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday founded by Julia at Stamping Ground is a fun place to go and hop around and see other bloggers desks and what they are up to.  Check it out and if you want to come play click the link and she will tell you how!

My desk today!

 I got a new stamp set and die set in the mail yesterday from Stamps of Life.  It is a monthly stamp club that I have belonged to for a long, long, long time and I love their clear acrylic stamps and thin dies but I haven't been so good at using them of late and I am seriously thinking about quitting the club.  I am turning over a new leaf…If I am not using it I am not buying it!! 

The over all picture…I am standing in the door way looking it…no wonder my husband thinks it is such a mess.  I am just happy you can't see all the trash on the floor.

I have been busy working at my desks and paper bits tend to not hit the trash as I toss them in the general direction.  I really think someone could make a killing if they had a trashcan that just jumped up and grabbed the bits as you tossed them in the general direction!!

Today I am working on cards again for a swap on a Yahoo group called ATT-Altered Tattered and Timeworn.  This card is kinda funky and fun!

Inside of the card

This card was made using the Tim Holtz Travelways stamps, washi tape, and an ideology clip.  The background paper is from DCWV.  I pulled the pearls and rest of the washi out of stash.  Cardstock is from Stampin UP! and Distress Inks from Ranger Ink.  Card blank from the drawer…gonna use it all up eventually!

Hope everyone has a great week!

WOYWW #193

It is snowing big fat fluffy flakes here in Oklahoma today!  It is 34 deg F out there right now so they aren't sticking but it is nice seeing moisture of any sort falling on this parched ground.  The mandatory water conservation is in effect and I heard yesterday that the lake water level is down 8-9 feet  from what it should be and if we don't get rain soon it is going to be bad this summer.  Last year we hardly had any rain at all and the lake was down so people are now talking like it is pre-dust bowl days again.  I hope it doesn't get that bad but it is looking grim.

Hooray it is Wednesday again and two things are making me happy today.  Number one  is my DH has been speaking at a seminar in Montreal this week and he will be coming home today.  Number two is it is Wednesday and time for WOYWW!!  Happy day!  Say you can understand the DH coming home but what the hay is WOYWW!  Well check it out at Stamping Ground (upper left corner) and Julia will fill you on the amazing thing that is WOYWW!

This is my desk this week...bare except for a few stamps from Tim Holtz and die/stamps from Heartfelt Stamps I bought.  I got a Stampin' Up! order in late last week and there is some ribbon to the right that is in the Clearance Rack for next to nothing.  I bought 3 rolls of the pink it was on sale so cheap I couldn't pass it up!  ($1.39 for the whole 5 yard roll)  Go check out the Clearance Rack for some awesome steals!

Skitty decided she had to help with the photo shoot of the desk and jumped up to see what I was up to!

Not many people can say they have a cat with Texas on their side!  Skitty got the name Skidmark from my DH when he noticed she had a black hair trail across her private bits and up her tail.  Just like a man to misname a beautiful girl such as she so I call her Skitty cause she is so skittish!!

 I have been busy this week but don't have much to show for it.  I saw a set of stamps on another bloggers desk last week that I just couldn't live without so I went online an ordered them and they came this morning!  I had never heard of Heartfelt Stamps before and these were just the awesome goodness I was looking for to make some cards to sell in a friends shop!

Awesome stamps and dies.  IN the picture above you can see the Tim Holtz stamps that came this week too!

I also received 3 more UnBirthday gifts in the mail this past week!  WOW people are really giving me some nice things!

From Marcia a paper pack she made up with lots of ribbons, a post it note holder and card she made, a Glitz paper pad, some pearls and butterfly bling and some flowers.

This gift came from Sandi and she made the tote bag and card and sent me some awesome stamps, ribbon, and embossed cardstock packet on the right.

The third gift came from Sue and it is a new set of SU button stamps that I don't own...now how she knew that I don't know but I have been wanting these!  Sue made a slider card and a beautiful pin brooch.

I know!!!  I am one of the luckiest people in the world!
Hope you have a fantastic week and I will go find a cup of tea and a few cookies and sit down for a hop around the blogs and have a good snoop!
