First off I want to tell you our trip to Missouri was great fun and we enjoyed spending the time with Betty Jo and doing some fun crafting thing. Unfortunately due to a semiannual crop in the area on the weekend we were there we had a poor turn out at Betty's stamping party. Betty, Heather, and I agreed that we had a blast even if the turnout was poor and would do it all over in a heartbeat. I always enjoy taking a road trip with my daughter cause she is so easy to travel with and has a lot of interests similar to mine.
I have been fairly busy this week making cards and doing other fun things that I will be posting as time goes by. Check out the previous 2 posts about Caffeine Addicts Swap and Society of Stampaholics Monthly Challenge to see the cards. Tonight my desk has drying bits of 2" x 2" grunge paper that has been painted, embossed, and painted on it for a swap I am involved in on the All Things Tim Yahoo Group. I would give you the URL but Yahoo got hacked yesterday and over 450,000 accounts have been compromised so....I guess I won't do that till they get them up and running again. Okay back on track...my desk!
Remember the post about Halloween Chaos Tag Canvas I was making tags for ? I got my finished canvas back yesterday and here is what it looks like.
Well I think I had better call this done cause Julia has made us all vow to not have long run on posts and this one has definitely run on long enough. I am going to go grab a cup of tea and do some blog hopping and see what everyone is up to! Have a great week!
btw...I learned a new term today....Deja Poo...the feeling that you have heard this crap before! As the presidential election gears up for the final month of politicking it is definitely getting piled higher and deeper here in the state.
Your tag canvas looks great - what a lovely idea. My tags just get stuck on the wall with Blutack. Great busy desk, am intrigued by the Christmas squares you have for a patchwork? Looking forward to the end result.

ReplyDeleteHere I was getting ready to leave a message when the storm that came from down your way knocked my electricity out. Since my work space is so small and I don't have a back for my table, I MUST put everything away as soon as I use it, even if it means I have to get it back out 30 minutes later. It's a habit with me. Happy WoYWW from #4.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful swap, I love that tag canvas so much. Have a wonderful week! Happy WOYWW! Sandy Leigh at #11
ReplyDeleteDeja poo!!! never heard of it either so I learned a new word today too!!! lovely workspace and creation!!!

ReplyDeleteDeja poo!! I think you must have made everyone smile with that one! Lovely creative desk and I hate putting favourite things away toobut am trying hard at the mo as I get a bit antsy when there is too much stuff out. Happy WOYWW Cindy #88

Super cool Halloween canvas! That must have been a fun swap to participate in. I'm with you on the deja poo of the political season -- I'll be glad when we're past election day. Thanks for popping over to visit me already. :) ~ Laura #22
ReplyDeleteha ha ha deja poo, so funny!
ReplyDeleteyour tag canvas looks wonderful, and yes, the week does fly by and wednesdays seem to come so quickly, don't they?
LOLOL - I love Deja Poo...am so going to pass that on!!
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a good time at the stamping party - you sound as if you'd enjoy anything where, a bit like me :D
Hugs, LLJ #59 xx
You've been so busy with all those little squares. Can't wait to see what they turn into. I think we all have our favourite things on our desks that never get put away, no point really when they'll just come straight back out.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you enjoyed your trip, sounds like a lot of fun despite the lack of people. It's not always the quantity but the quality!!!
Happy WOYWW

Love the hanging Halloween Chaos Tag Canvas, such a creative way to display the tags you exchange! As for the politics, I just ignore the ads, and vote for the one I like anyway, the ads don't change my mind! waving hi from the hills of North Carolina :)
ReplyDeleteDeja Poo! I love it. I try to ignore all things political these days because it is all a bunch of poo flinging. The return H'ween canvas is awesome! What a fun swap.
ReplyDeleteYou are one busy lady. The Halloween canvas turned out fantastic! I love how everyone made a tag to make a bigger work of art. Now, I can't wait to see how the Christmas quilt goes. Dani 123
ReplyDeleteHi Vickie, Deja Poo - just love it ... here in the UK we have a daily diet of it, even when there is no election brewing! Love the canvas, it's such a fun thing to have. I've caught up with your most recent post and love those floral squares now that they are complete - beautiful. Two very interesting posts so thanks for sharing. Have a great weekend. Elizabeth x #77
