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!

WOYWW #179

Not a lot to share or show on this Wednesdays WOYWW!  I had finished some tags to make a canvas with but I  have misplaced them and don't have a clue where they have gone.  My craft room is totally turned upside down in my searching for them and my Mojo has packed up and left with it!  OMG!  I get so irritated when I do something like this and now I don't even have a clue how to replace them.  Hopefully something with stimulate my interest soon!

Here is my desk today!  Hope you see something that interests you cause there is a lot piled up in my crafting space!  New stamps on the left was gifted to me by Crafters Companion, a new lot of Graphic 45 A Place In Time, a couple Tim Holtz dies I got in the mail yesterday (the toy soldier and tattered poinsettia) and some small bottles of Claudine Helmuth Studio acrylic paints and new brushes!

my desk!

 Here are a couple of my girls!  Before getting these two we had three neutered males and thought we would try a couple of the female types and went to the pound and picked up these girls about a week apart.  Skiddy came first and was about two weeks older then Stormy. 

The girls in their tree!

Stormy Girl!

Skiddy Kitty!

Aren't they gorgeous!  Skiddy is a very skittish kitty and has a black spot on her right flank that resembles the state of Texas!  Stormy got her name from her stormy disposistion and is one of the most talkative cats I have every run across!






I was told by a friend about these two iPhone and iPad apps that are available at the Apple store. They have all sorts of useful advice about produces and foods. 

$7.99

$3.99

A really useful tool for shopping but not so much for eating out.  They rely on restaurants to furnish info and most don't want to go out on a limb to say it is GF!

I found a lot of interesting foods to try this week and have enjoyed some gluten free mac and cheese, a grilled cheese sandwich made with gluten free bread and tomato soup!  Yummy!   I am finding out more and more about the diet changes and in general changes that go with food intolerance's that I won't bore you with here and suffice it to say I am amazed!

Okay that's it for me today.  IF you are wondering what all the desk talk was about go visit Julia at Stamping Ground.   For more about my gluten free journey and other health issues check out Okienurse's Fibromyalgia Blog.
