Happy ‘WOYWW and if you
don’t know what this is why don’t you hop over to Julia at The Stamping Ground to
find out and get the chance to see what everyone is up to today.
So what’s on your work
desk Wednesday then? As you can see mine has not got a lot happening on the
creative front but there are several new goodies to spot. It was my birthday on
Monday; we had a great few days away in Chester and lots of nice presents to
open on my return on Monday night. I got many more presents than I was expecting
as hubby also gave me what should have been my Christmas present! He couldn't keep hold of it; he’s hopeless at keeping things and couldn't wait!..I
am very happy and over the moon as it means I got my Grand Calibur earlier than
I expected and lots of lovely dies, more than
enough to get me underway.The other crafty items I received included my first
set of copics…I am in heaven, an A3 glass cutting mat, heat tool and not
forgetting a cute jar of buttons. I am so very lucky and would have been happy
with any one of the above
re- organised desk
copics and buttons
Unfortunately I was
working late last night so I have had very little time to use anything. I have
tried out the die cutting machine and had a little play with the copics and
reorganised my desk/workspace. I had to find the perfect home for my die
cutting machine. I can’t wait till the weekend…I don’t imagine much housework
will be getting done.
using my presents
Sorry, I'm sure I have
probably bored you all and it’s a longer post than Julia would approve of but I'm so excited I promise my next post will be something more creative using my
presents. Got to go now and get ready for work. I will check out what the other
woyww’s are up to tonight. Why don’t you hop over to Julia’s and have a nosey
look too!
Have a wonderful week…

cute mini cake - spot the ribbon on my desk
( I couldn't possibly not recycle it !)
Sounds like you had an awesome birthday this year! Cute cake and I did spy that ribbon on your desk. I thought about getting a Grand Caliber but decided on a Big SHot Pro because of all my Sizzix dies from the Big Shot. Don't you love crafting goodies. Have a great time playing over the weekend! Thanks for sharing and have a great week. Vickie #2

Glad to hear you had such a fab birthday. You will not know yourself with a GC - dies become rather addictive!! I do exactly the same with ribbons/embellishments on stuff:) Hope you have the best crafty weekend ever. Hugs, Buttons #77
ReplyDeleteOh my, you were a lucky, lucky girl!!!
ReplyDeleteIt all looks great lined up on your desk just waiting for you to have fun with them. Your magnolia image is very pretty...bet it will be turned into a card by now. i am a bit late getting round too as i was feeling swamped with photo posting problems on blogger right when I was rushing about getting ready for the Black Friday sales.
Yeah for gifts! Love how neat and organized your desk is, while still looking very creative. :) Thanks for sharing pics of your new goodies with us...keep us up to date on how you like your new die cutter, please? I've been thinking of getting one but wondering if its worth it...Deeyll #76
