WOYWW #92

It has been another short week and as Wednesday arrives I am looking forward to hopping around the blogs to snoop around an see what other people have on their desks and what they are working on. The only place I know that you can get away with that is at the Julia Dunnit, Queen of Snoops blog called Stamping Ground. Head on over there and check it out.

My desk is loaded with all sorts of fun stuff I picked up at Leslie's tonight after class. I am looking for ideas as to what I can do with Bo Bunny Papers and of course all the lovely Idea-ology ephemera! Leslie got a shipment of stuff in yesterday and today and was more than willing to share it with me. :)

The Tim Holtzish tag classes are a success the past two months and we have more people asking to join the groups and to even do more altered art work. Sounds like a lot of fun to me!

On a happy note I received a couple of really nice surprises this week and thought that I would share them with you.

I was picked as a third place winner of a contest over at Paula's blog and won lots of lovely flowers, papers, and a small easel to display projects on. Take a look at Paula's blog, Paula's Paper Playground. Thank you Paula! I hope you are having a good time in Spain!




Lavinia at Lavinia's Paper Emporium awarded me the Liebster Blog award. Thank you Lavinia for saying all the nice things you said about me and the blog, it means a lot to me that someone likes my work and what I create. Part of the Liebster Blog award entails nominating 3-5 other Blogs that are newish and deserves recognition. I will have to give this some consideration so be watching for it in a later post.

Hope everyone has a good week. I am off to snoop around the blogs. Unfortunately I only made it to about 2/3 of the blogs last week due to some problems...namely my headache, and it was a big following last week! Hopefully I will make it to all the blogs this week. I really enjoy seeing what everyone is up to.

    Ooooh what treasures you've got on your desk! I would either be so eager to get to work or stumped because I'd have to think of a really great project. My advice- just do it! Patsy from

    You deserve prizes! Lovely haul of stash too - I have no clue as to the ephemera, mostly it just scares me until I see what others do with it! I followed you round a lot of desks last week; I often do - please do not consider it an obligation. I know everyone appreciates your visits, but don't pressure yourself, it's meant to be fun!
