The desk....

I know .... quite shocking....it's been a bad couple of days .... No doubt I will be crafting soon.  
I am about to write my Easter cards and then wash and pack .... I shall try to avoid Notre Dame, much too heartbreaking to visit.
We hope to visit Fontainebleau but we will see ... I will post and let you know if we succeeded!

Have a happy and blessed Easter, may the sun shine on one and all.

I am trying to sort out one of my external drives at the moment and in between downloading and/or recycling files, I am working on other things.  My desk may look busy today but it is all ordered.... 

The offending external, on the left almost under the box, can just be seen above my book, which I am pencil lining ready to continue using as my diary.  There are my red papers and card to create some coins themed Monochrome Red.  On the other side of my laptop, with gorgeous photo of Burma jungle, are the latest purchase from Works (why? oh! why do I go in there?!?!?!). 
I'll tell you why .... I happened to see Barbara Grey demonstrating some background stamps on Hochanda using stamps similar to these ...... have to doncha?  lol
The Calibur is out on the desk cos I have been using it ....... surprised you there didn't I?  
I have been trying out some cards, which didn't work in the end but I am not giving up!
Then there is my Stamp File ready for me to enter all the new stamps ........ organised you see.
Did I tell you I had a lovely Mothering Sunday?
  

DDN gave me some Euros and a gorgeous lantern (love me those patio lights).

DDC is taking me out for the day ..... more to follow.
DGS gave me some lovely pressies as well, post to follow.

Talking of DGS .... what about this then?  

Growing so fast it is difficult to keep up....


Thank you to all my visitors last week, I'm sorry if I didn't make it round to your desk .... will try to do better this week.....
Following on from last week.... 
Back in the day, if a child was born before April 6th the tax payer (usually the Father) had a tax rebate for the full year, so some folks tried to beat the date and April became a very busy time of the year!!!

Busy desk today as I am trying to complete some Vera Lane ATCs.   This month's swap is called 'Off with their Heads' and consists of swapping heads and bodies about a bit!

It took some time to size up the images to fit an ATC but now I have them printed out and enjoying colouring them up.
April is a busy month for us, several birthdays, and we have been invited over to Paris again for a birthday.  Paris didn't feature on our calendar anymore: travelling is getting difficult for me, then there's the cost and then ..... then..... there's the B word..... and the questions ....will we need visas.... will we be able to leave the country without spending hours in a queue..... how much will the pound devalue etc. lol  
Anyhow we took the plunge and booked everything up, same hotel but we are flying this time as we can't be sure how the French will react with Eurotunnel once all this 'stuff' kicks off.
I am now trying to clear all my swaps before we go as well as make all the birthday cards .... too many folks trying to collect the end of year tax rebate!!!  (you'll only understand if you've lived life a bit!)
So that's how the desk is today .... hopefully tomorrow we will be out and about posting envelopes, having lunch etc
Oops!  nearly forgot .... look what I found ....

Left handed crayons!!!!!   he! he! he!
