WOYWW - 25th May 2011

Here's my desk today, loads of projects on the go this week and running out of time to do them!  I need to make some father's day cards and I've 2 layout's on the go:

this one is using Cosmo Cricket's Cogsmo for a Robots style layout and

and this one is a snowy one of the kids playing out the back in the snow.

WOYWW - 11/5/11

Good evening, really late with WOYWW. Thanks for the lovely comments last week I am loving doing all these layouts and this week it's another 4 by 6 photo love layout.





Pix are of the kids eating M&Ms on the train to Tenby on Easter Sunday.

WOYWW - 4th May 2011

Welcome to another WOYWW, thanks for all the lovely comments last week.  As you can see my desk is still relatively tidy as i haven't done much crafting, been too busy enjoying having the kids off school.  Gutted they've gone back today, the holidays were far too short! What's on my desk is 2 quick layouts I did on Monday night as I still have to glue the flowers on to the first one.  The 2 layouts are from Shimelle's 4x6 Photo Love class on two peas, only got this month's to do and then i'm up to date!

To see more desks go to Julia's blog, there's loads there!

WOYWW 27th April 2011

Hi everyone and welcome to another WOYWW!  If you've been reading my blog you know that this week I have had a trip to Ikea to buy a new shelving unit for the craft area in my bedroom.  You can see it on the right in this picture with the purple bags on it.  That's cleared a load of room on my desk so I currently feel really organised and efficient.  Yesterday I managed to scrap a page from start to finish in 1 day, I still can't believe it!  Read about it here and click here to see the mini book I spoke about in last's weeks WOYWW all complete.  I'm on a roll at the moment!

Anyway, back to the newly organised and expaned craft corner:

Here is one half of my desk with the new shelving unit.  The big brown box on the bottom is full of my old knitting and cross stiching stuff along with A's drawing boxes.  The next shelf has a pink basket with all my Tim Holtz goodies next to them all my projects that are waiting to be finished.  The self above has a purple back with all my Thickers and Acrylic stamps and finally, the top shelf has Dawson's Creek dvds and my organizers with scissors, glue and other bits that you need to use on everything.

Thanks for coming by and looking if you want to see more desks go to the master list at Julia's Blog and I'll see you all later as I'm posting twice today to take part in a link up from Shimelle's Blog, why not call back later to see that as well?

WOYWW 20th April 2011

Welcome to another WOYWW I can't believe how quick that week went! Thank you for all the lovely comments last week.  As you can see I cleaned out my desk and found lots of half finished and not started projects which i have decided to use the Easter holidays to complete them.

So today I'm working on a Halloween mini book from Halloween 200* - it's that long ago I can't remember which year it was!  We hosted a little party for the kids and some of their friends and I got to try out some Nigella recipes that I had been wanting to try for ages.  For the minibook I'm using papers from KI memories, run on's from Pink Paislee and some Echo Park hybrid elements printed out from JessicaSprage.com.  I love her One Buck Wednesdays and usually buy a couple of things each week (I'll probably buy this Photoshop Friday today).

WOYWW 13 April 2011

Hi guys!  A rather cold WOYWW today.  I'm sitting here in a tshirt, jumper and coat and I just can't get warm!  Only a small part of my desk today as it is a total mess with to much on it (a good sort out will be done later) and all you can see a pile of beaded safety pins ready to be made into a bracelet like this, just need to get some elastic to bind them all together.  

Here are the two pages I was working on last week.  Still need to give them titles but i'm useless at deciding what to put.  I need to find a course that will help me come up with titles for the pages.  At the moment I'm thinking of "Sort-of Cousins" for the first one and "Stonehouse" for the second (and green one) as that was the name of the pub garden the photo was taken in.

WOYWW 30 March 2011

Hello everyone! I'm back this week after taking last week off due to exhaustion - see here for more info. Here's my workdesk today, once again it has purple and butterflies and Tim Holtz stuff. Can't get enough of the technique Tim did here,  I'm doing it on everything! These are the foundation for a few mother's day cards as it's Mother's Day this Sunday in Wales.  What are your plans for Mother's Day?  I'm hoping for the Glee 4 album and a day out as I no longer work on a Sundays. Yipee!

For more workdesks just pop along to Julia's blog and follow the links.

WOYWW 16th March 2011

Hi Everyone, Thanks for the lovely comments on last weeks posts (can't believe I managed to link up to the wrong one!).  This morning I'm working on a little flower embellishment to put on a present (the big pot) for my friends birthday today - you can also see a bit of the card I made her which I blogged about here.  I've also got some more work to do on the Man's birthday card.  Don't worry you I'll blog it all when he has received it.

To see more desk's go to Julia's blog, there's loads of brilliant inspiration there.

WOYWW 9th March 2011

I'm really organised this week and I took my picture earlier on tonight so I could be one of the first on the WOYWW list, instead of one of the last as I usually am.  Loving experimenting with all the new things I got at ArtsyCrafts and today is no different.

Today I'm working on a birthday card for a man, can't say more than that at the moment.  The background stamping from one of Tim's new stamp sets, the butterfly one, and grunged it up with Vintage Photo distress ink, on top of that is some books paper which I've Gesso'd and then distressed with Vintage Photo as well.

Here's a better photo of the cards I made yesterday.

WOYWW - 2/3/11

Here's my desk tonight, full of flowers from the tattered floral die cut in my Vagabond. Loving the machine it is so easy to use!

Also you can see2 pendants have made for the boys, just need to measure them up forth length of the chain and then they are ready to go.

Also here's quick snap of the ATC's i've been doing fromTin's TSV. Loving the versatility of alcohol ink. Can't wait to get more colours.





See you next week, if not before. Why not follow my blog ando see if you enjoy the updates.

WOYWW 23 February 2011

Hi everyone, no workdesk for me today as I have just come back from a few days in Carmarthen with my folks.  While wondering around the town centre (you must go... Debenhams, Costa Coffee, Next, New Look, Fat Face, Quicksliver, and many more) I came across a bargain in Emrys Art Supplies.  Stickles, Distress Stickles, Alcohol Ink and Crackle Accents all around £2 a bottle - Stickles are £3.50 in my local Hobbycraft so looking at the pic above you can see I've saved a fortune!  If you're ever in the area go and check out the shop or they do mail order through their website as well.

Must go and pack now, 2 nights away and a Friday with Tim Holtz.

WOYWW - 16/02/11

Here's my desk today. I'm supposed to be working on the butterfly card with some beautiful House of 3 downloads which i printed on photo paper but currently I'm watching Grey's Anatomy instead. Love this program especially the way that Christina Yang's character has completely changed after last seasons huge Finale. Sandra Oh is brilliant actress.

Back to the crafting. Finally finished the mini book yesterday so look out for it on the blog soon.

WOYWW - 9/2/11

Wow! Thanks for all the great comments on last weeks photo. I'm hoping to get round and leave loads of comments this week as well. My pic this week is of my bed as I'm taking it over while making a mini book present for a friend.




Been a good girl this week and I've tidied up my crafting desk. I only get a small corner of the bedroom to keep all my stash so to have a tidy desk really helps.
