Our weekly meetup of show & tell workdesks ...... love this little get together every week..... in the comfort of our own homes ..... come and join us ..... our Hostess Julia (deets at the top of the page) won't mind - I'm sure she'd say 'more the merrier' so come on in .....

Welcome to the last ATCs for 2017 swaps!!

I have completed some of the Angels, which is the theme for this month, but have yet to make my angels into cards.


I have been using the Neocolour crayons to colour them in, the first time I have used this new purchase and I am thrilled with them.  

The colour is much deeper than the Inktense Pencils when used with water but I have yet to use them with any other technique.

I am still trying to find some time to catch up with all my Blogging but for today ... this is it!

You all have a good week and I will try to pop round to visit desks later on.

Good desk this week!!!

I have started!!
Yep!
I have everything together - cards, stamps, envelopes, paper for inserts, even selection of pens!!
So it's going to start .... at the weekend probably ..... that's about when this layout will annoy me enough into to 'doing it'.
All my other jobs are done, one set of swaps posted off, one more nearly finished, one still to do but ......still eight days to go to the end of November ...... did you see that?  Eight days!
I still have get my kitchen finished, for a 6ft square room it is taking ages - two months already!
I have another quote now which I have accepted we just wait the arrival of the painter .....this will be the fourth one who has either looked and/or quoted ..... would be nice to have some order in the house for Christmas!
Thank you to all my visitors last week, I think I managed to visit the majority of desks, arriving late as I did it took up most of the week.
The garden looks gorgeous, the car is shining and a bonus of a repaired garage makes me smiling again..... just don't look at the desk!

Smashing desk this week!!

I'm actually making embellishments for Christmas Cards!  I have several 'recycled' cards made ready to be finished off so I am still feeling happy - wish I had time to start my homemade pressie though - but prioritise I must as we begin this countdown to Christmas .......The idea with these particular embellishment is to form a 'fan' ..... I know ..... sounds daft but should work!
I must add that I have been so busy in the garden as I have a big bag of bulbs to plant; so everyday for the past week we have been gradually clearing the weeds round the roses and planting the bulbs, just a few more to go ......
I am spending the odd half hour here and there to make the cards ... I am getting there, honestly!!
That's my post for this week, will try to get round to visit a few more desks this week ..... only managed a few last week, thanks to all my visitors who didn't give up on me!

This desk has a 'completed' feel about it at the moment of taking this photo!

You will note that in the centre of the desk is a 'projects completed' basket, a present from Elizabeth while at the Crop, with three - yes! three! - projects in it.
I have 3 ATCs for the November swap plus 12 days of Christmas ATCs wrapped plus completed Matchbox.  
Definitely a good feeling!

Well, that was last night!  

Today I have a happy and exciting desk!  
This is the makings of a Christmas Present for DDC.  
I always make something handmade in among the bought pressies for the children and this is going to be hers this year.  Can't tell you yet, so excited to start, having to wait..... I think I will need a complete weekend for this ..........

Happy, happy dancing round here!!!

I do so hope that you are having a good day, even with all the rain and cold out there.  I am sending hugs and happy thoughts and prayers for you if you're not 100%...... I know how it is...... but look at my desk!  wow!  dance with me!

It was all lies last week ..... just the start of the post anyways ....

The desk

It is not the same as last week because I have put the lid back on the box and added some more stamps!!!
No cards made though ...... there in lies the lie ......
I cannot believe that it is a week gone by already - I haven't stopped!
Mainly because last week was taken up with preparing for the weekend Open Day at Tyseley (check out Ben Mason's Post).
Another wonderful day out among the Steam Engines!
This week so far Little Soldier has taken up most of our time..... and will continue for another day .......I'm not complaining but I really do need to craft!
Keeping this short and sweet as 'they' say .... will try to catch up with you all later.
Enjoy!

PS Cannot believe it is 1st November ...... already?...... how did that happen?!!
