 The Anniversary One!

I have lost track of which one this is  . . . all I know is that we are all extremely grateful to Julia (Stamping Ground) for setting up this meeting place so many posts ago.  Thank you Julia.

My desk is not crafty at all this week, I am catching up with my office work!!!

I spent a week away with DD1 and so I am having to catch up with the paperwork.  

The booklet at the right is our quarterly magazine which, this time, is a celebration of one of our drivers . . . . . . . he retired from driving on the mainline and then came back to drive our steam engines and train up some new young drivers . . . . . now, after 60years of driving, he has decided to definitely retire . . . . . yes Ray . .  of course!

Actually, looking at the magazine now, I realise that on the back page is a photo of one of the last projects on which Peter and I did some work.  Back in September, we planted perennials and a few small bushes, under planted with some spring flowering bulbs in the flowerbed on the station platform.  I must say they are a tribute to our hard work on that sunny morning, we were so tired out afterwards and so looking forward to seeing it this Spring . . . . . they are just as we imagined . . . .  

I hope to finish my paperwork and get some ATCs posted out on Thursday/Friday (dependant on the weather if I go to the postbox!).

I am open to swapping with anyone else as well as the person who follows me . . . . .  let me know in the comments if you'd like to swap with me.

Enjoy the freedom of meeting up and getting back to some form of social life . . . . . but . . . . stay safe.

  WOYWW - All the deets on how to link up etc. and, more importantly, why you should, can be found at the top of the page.  Thank you Julia for hosting another week of fun and mayhem.

Today's desk has the remnants of yesterday's work, I have been sorting out some rubber stamps. 

These were originally roller stamps, very old as you can tell, but I have removed them and now, added some Cling-a-Ling and turned them into border stamps I can use!!

I printed out the stamps and added this to a piece of packaging acetate, with the stamps on the other side I now have a neatly stored set of stamps.

That's it for this week, short but sweet.  

I have a busy few days ahead as there are arrangements to be made for the removal of the chickens to the Chicken Hotel for a week.  I may even clean and clear the ranch out while they're away . . . .  weather dependant of course!
