WOYWW #418

Welcome to Wednesday and WOYWW!  What is WOYWW?  Go check out Julia's blog for the deeds and come play with us!

My desk this week...not much different then last weeks view but I have been busy doing a few cards and other stuff!  I spent a couple hours Skyping and talking with my daughter in California while I made a couple cards last night!  I really miss her but she is having a wonderful time living out there.  So much to see and do in the San Francisco Bay area!
The desk is still cluttered with all the papers, glitter, and glues I used to make the cards.  I went to Michaels a couple days ago and walked out without buying anything so nothing new to show you today!  I know I must be sick for sure!

The Cards that I have been making!  the cupcake card...I decided that the white needed to be colored so made it up with green sparkly frosting top...definitely changes the look!





















A double pocket card I made for a swap!  It was fun but I don't think I will be making many more.  
 I have been trotting out dies and different embellishments I have been saving to make cards...It doesn't make sense to buy more cause I probably have more then I will ever use in this lifetime...thought if I need something specific I will buy it but I have decided to really curtail craft shopping just to shop!
don't you love the bunting on this card!  The paper is from  Stamps of Life as is the Congratulations die...
Another card with SOL paper and dies...I found the resin flowers in a drawer and thought it would work perfect for the  color combo swap card of maroon, tan, and blue!
Okay that is it for WOYWW posting today...but there is more.  Hope all you deskers have a great week and I promise to get around this week.  I didn't do so well last week but plan on making up for that this week! 

This week has just flown past.  I went to the Dr. last Tuesday and was told I would definitely have to have surgery and based on the CT and MRI I had done on Friday he will tell me when and if I need to get it done sooner or later!  OMG!  I hate surgery but I am really hating this pain more!  It is difficult to get up and down out of chair, forget walking up and down stairs, and the numbness and tingling is pitiful!  My back evidently is out of skew....  Isn't it fun they give you pictures when they explain stuff.  I will go back to the doctors and let you know what is up.
My garden is really growing and doing awesome things...Chuck has harvested all the potatoes, onions and cabbages now....We are filling the empty spots with more potatoes and squashes.  

This is one of the hibiscus I wintered over in the kitchen window...It has started blooming and looks like it has more healthy grown in the making!  I love these flowers! So cheerful!  Makes me think of tropical islands!
A view of the sunset by the pool...this is such a calming place to sit and reflect!  





The onion harvest...the picture doesn't do them justice!!  Some of these onions are softball size...The picnic table is 70" round so you see they are good sized!







Also picked some of the first of the blueberries a couple days ago!  It isn't much but is a start.  The plant has been planted 3 years so I am glad to see it producing!
A couple pics of the flower planter...
 It is nice sitting out here and enjoying the weather!









  Okay!  Done deal!  I am going to go get dressed and go the the therapists office now!   Hope everyone has a great week and I will be around shortly...
