Welcome to What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday!  If you are wondering about this,  just take a visit to Julia's Blog and have a look around.  She is the creator of this little adventure and I'm so grateful to her for it.  I love letting you have a look into my life and I also get to visit every one's blog and look at what they have going on.  
 
 
 
I must confess I had been working on a card or two and was beginning to clean up  my mess when I thought I should take my photo then.  Not too much of a mess left, I'm afraid ... just some of my tools and a little glue and glitter left.  I had been making flowers and had quite a mess of glue and color all over the place and needed to get up some of the glitter before I had it in my eyebrows!
 
Well that's it for me this morning.  Hope your day is a good one and that you take a moment out of your busy day and "Breathe"!

Thank You.....

I always need thank you notes to send to people who do a kindness for me.  I do, however have trouble making them that go through the mail without extra charges.  That is something I really need to work on.  I've noticed at the post office, even if you take a regular size envelope, if it is a little fat...they have this page that has slots on it and they try your envelope through the slots so they can add on extra charges.  I just can't seem to make it through the small slot!  My flowers are just too dang big! 

 
 
So here is my card.  I used some Heartfelt Creations stamps and dies and paper to do this card.  The sentiment is from another company and I am sorry, but I don't remember where it came from.  I used to tear off packaging and just use my stamps not worrying where they came from...bad, bad habit!
 
Well this does it for me today.  It's Monday again and like it or not, we must face the day!  Hope your day is a good one and that you take a moment and just "Breathe"!

Have a Wonderful Birthday.....

 
Good morning everyone!  We have almost made it to another weekend and I for one, am a very happy camper.  Laundry is done, house work is done and I'm ready to play!  This morning I'm here to share with you another card I have made for Heartfelt Creations.  Blogger is giving me problems this morning...not wanting me to upload a picture so I've had to make a trip around the world in order to get this to upload to my blog.  I'm hopeful this works..
 
If you would like to have the products used and the instructions for this card just go on over to the Heartfelt Creations Blog and everything is listed there.  While you are there, have a look around at what the other designers have posted.  There is some wonderful inspiration there!
 
Well that is it for me this morning.  I hope you have a wonderful day and a great weekend.

Good morning everyone and welcome to WOYWW!  I'm starting 2013 with a clean slate and I'm trying to do some organizing in my craft room to  make my space a little more user friendly.  I found an old cd case and decided it would make a wonderful storage for my Pro Markers.  I don't do very well with markers but have several and you can't use them if they are not where you can get to them.  I just slid cd cases into the slots and divided my markers somewhat in the color ranges.  I'm working on the long cd storage unit and it will also hold some markers that are just thrown into a bin and some new Spectrum Noir markers that I'm treating myself to as a belated Christmas Gift.  I had some already and purchased some on EBay at a greatly reduced price but still brand new.  I will probably take out the cardboard dividers and just use empty cd cases to separate that unit too. 
 
Most of you who follow me know what WOYWW is but if you just can't figure out what the heck this stands for it is "What's on Your Workdesk Wednesday.  Julia Dunnit is the creator of this madness and you can visit her blog here:  Stamping Ground

We all take a picture of our desk and post it to our blogs and then go to Julia's blog and link it.  Then we can visit each other's desks and see what is going on in our own little worlds.  Now I'm off to visit as many desks as I can.  I seldom get around to everyone's desk but I do try.  Have a wonderful day!
