WOYWW #206

Not a lot going on today on my desk...Not a lot of room for anything to be going on!!  Right now the desk has become the depository for all things I have received in the mail and a shopping spree my daughter and I went on last week. 

 The biggest buy was these Tim Holtz carriers that we found at Tuesday Morning...an outlet store here in the states, that had been drastically reduced.  The cases were originally $35-$50 each and we paid less than that for all three.  The small case on the left is a trinket case, the middle is a tool/paint box, and the big one is a 12"x12" paper carrier.  I the middle of all this awesomeness is a package I received as unbirthday gift from a friend on Splitcoast Stamper. 

I posted on Sunday some pictures of the tags I am doing in a class and thought I would share them here.  If you would like to see the detailed post click here
The theme of the class this month is Travel.  Don't you love these Tim Holtz Stamps!w3
I started my spring clean up and gardening this week by opening the swimming pool, a necessity around here in the hot Oklahoma summers.  The yard guys got my raised beds made and I started planting a few things today.  Here is a look around my back yard! 

Corner of the house and my husbands cactus and yucca garden.  These are gorgeous when in bloom!

Iris that have flourished since we cut down the trees that shaded them a couple years ago. 

Tritoma or Red Hot Poker.
The swimming pool in the process of being 'opened'.  I didn't cover it last year and will be pulling leaves out of it for a week!

My pride and joy!  New raised beds for vegetables!  I have planted 10 tomato plants, 4 pepper plants, and seed for squash, sunflowers, and green beans. 
Pretty picture intensive this week and probably went way over the short post rule of Queen Julia but sometimes it happens especially if you are long winded as I am.  IF you would like to know who Julia is and why I am posting pictures of my desk please got to Stamping Ground and click the WOYWW link in the upper right and Julia will fill you in on the deets.  Hope you come play with us!

That's it for me...I am too tired to stay up any longer so I am off to bed for a snooze and I will be back in the morning to hop around the blogs and see what's on every one's desk!  Happy Wednesday!  Have a great week!
