WOYWW 181

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

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… hugs x

It’s My Birthday! (Almost)

Warning …Photo heavy post and no cards!

Sorry no card to post today as it’s my birthday tomorrow and hubby has taken me to a beautiful hotel just outside Chester and we are spending a couple of days shopping. I’m still making Christmas tags but haven’t photographed any of them yet, I’ve been distracted. I did get to take some photos of my birthday presents before we left as we won’t be back until late on Monday. They are all wrapped so beautifully, he has done a fab job; although I thought I knew what they all where or I should say what they should be; there does seem to appear to be a surprise or two that I don’t recognize….I’m getting excited! 

 birthday pressie's for me 

Hubby is off for a bath, so here I am…the joys of Wi-Fi. The hotel is a combination of very old and very modern and is decorated for Christmas already, it’s so beautiful and definitely putting me in festive mood, I plan to take some more photographs and post another time. We are in a new extension the room is gorgeous all gold, silver, mirrors and cream with a lovely 4 poster bed and luxury fittings, there is even a TV in the bathroom!.. Hubby will enjoy that I’m sure. There are some lovely little touches too, such as heart shaped bath bombs...pink or blue... folded with the bath robes and slippers...how sweet.

So I thought I’d share my birthday experience with you. I have some photos of my birthday presents stash and a few photos of the hotel room…before I messed it up by unpacking!!!....my I'm getting so excited ...eeeeeeeeeeeeee.

I’m off now to enjoy the rest of my evening. I will post again later in the week, hopefully with some creations made with my presents. That’s the plan for now...have a wonderful week... Hugs …x
