WOYWW -63

By
O.K - who has had their finger on the fast forward button this week? It really can't be that time already. But I suppose it must be because if you click here you will be magically transported through the ether to the fabulous world that is WOYWW!
This is my desk this morning -

It is a bit of a mess I know but I am having the best time making my project for the next Simon Says challenge so all my distress inks are out along with pieces of grungepaper, chipboard and mica powders etc.
Thank you to every one who gave me ideas for my clock cogs - I think I know what I am going to do with it now.
Also last week you may remember I was making a garden journal to enter in the local garden club 'Show'. Well here is said journal

The journal was entered and so was my daughter's Victoria Sandwich. My daughter was pipped at the post this year and she came second - I however came third beaten by a hat and one of those doilly things - you know the things - my nanna had them over the back of her settee many years ago. Not that I am bitter though - it just means I will have to endure another year of gloating by my daughter!!
Hope I haven't bored you all too much - see you soon - Jacqueline xx.

    Love the planner. I might have to try something similar for my MIL who's very much into gardening.

    Thank you for your comments on my ILWS inspiration challenge card and I'd be flattered if you CASE it.

    The judges simply didn't realise how much work went into yours! People seem to think you just stick a few things on and hey presto, but we know different ....

    I'm surprised the journal didn't beat the doily. I have a friend who can whip one of those out in about two hours. But you still did great, even if your daughter beat you YET AGAIN (grin). Sorry I'm late visiting, but I contracted a nasty computer virus. It's still not fixed, but I had to make sure I wasn't infecting anyone. Happy belated WOYWW.

Yikes - I'm a bit late posting today, but when I got into my studio this morning I had forgotten that it looked like this I had a big family lunch yesterday and 'cos our house is so small, I have to keep stuff moving from room to room in order for there to be enough space. So I got to work straight away and now my desk looks like this There is a hidiously green magnetic board complete with snail magnets that I won in a raffle - just right for altering, some wooden drawer knobs onto which I will attach some foam to use with my disress inks and my chipboard albums from last week that I didn't get round to doing. Also found when clearing from one room to another was my old jewelery display board which will soon be converted to a card display board and an old set of corner shelves. All they needed was a quick flick of a J-Cloth and a spray of Flash (oops advertising - other cleaning products are avaliable) and they now stand proudly in my craft room displaying my most recent cr

Starting the Year with a Christmas Card

 I have decided to try and get on top of my Christmas cards early this year and so far it’s going well!!! Here is a card that has been made using the Sweet Gingerbread set - I love gingerbread houses and the stamps and matching dies are really cute. I used the sketch from  52 Christmas Card Throwdown  - this is a brilliant Christmas challenge blog (I started it many years ago with Mynn Kitchen) and it’s a perfect way to get organised with Christmas crafting. Thank for stopping by today - see you soon - J xx
