Here is a tag I made for the letter "I" at our local stamping club
I think my friend, Mo, was glad she did not pick this one as she said, in a not so happy voice, "what's Ikebana?" I thought it was an ingenious idea as I was trying to avoid 'India' thinking many others would do that - nobody did!! Took me ages painting these rectangles in those pale Twinkling H2o colours too.
Today I am showing you two desks - well my desk and a table really. Here is my desk, with my Halloween stuff still on it waiting to be put away.
I am disappointed that I did not make anything new this year but I did buy the skull to the left of the pumpkin and how do you like my Harry Potter Box? £20 from Newark - love it but not a clue what I am going to do with it. The pile of card by the orange box marks the start of my "C" cards and yes, the sunflowers are still there.
My table - all neatly arranged for you to see is my stash from Eliza. How many of you remember Flat Susan? Well she has just spent an enjoyable month or so with Eliza, Myrene and Yoda of course and Eliza sent me these things to put in my book made for me by Annette.
Flat Susan has now left Eliza and is with Sandy and then she will go off to Spain to see Kate. After that I am hoping she will spend Christmas with me before venturing off again around the UK for her other new friends to host her. It is 18 months since she left home to begin her travels and she only had one accident as far as I know. That is, if we discount the puddle she was dropped in early on when Jo took her out and about in Europe.
Just had to share the photo above, hope Julia does not mind as it is so obviously staged. Well, now comes the time for you to visit all the other lovely ladies and gents who like to share their desks on a Wednesday. Ta Ta for now then.

Your Harry Potter box is fab, I think I'd have had to buy it without knowing what for, too! Your heat gun looks nice and - erm - painty (dirty? no I wouldn't say dirty!) in the background!!
Love the goodies Eliza sent from Flat Susan - what adventures she is having! Helen no number.
Nice tag and you look very organised today Neet ........ happy WOYWW !
I love your tag Neet but have to admit I did look up what it meant ;-) Well done you with the Chrustmas cards....I need to get moving with my designs so folk actually know where we ended up moving to :-)
Hugs,

Gosh I'm sure FS will be looking forward to a rest at Christmas! My sister thinks I'm nuts because every time we go somwehere I keep saying - oh if only FS was here with us... we went to Shakespeare's Globe and to see the poppies but FS would have had to saty undeer cover - the weather was appalling! Love the Harry Potter box and the Ikebana tag (yep I know what it is) is gorgeous - I thought the background was a paper so well done you!! Cindy x #38
I always stage my photos, is that bad? All this time I thought Flat Susan was a real person, can you believe that? Now I understand why she's flat, LOL! What a great idea! And she has her own blog as well! Just brilliant! (Oooo, I like that Harry Potter box, by the way!) Have a fantastic week! zsuzsa @ InkyDinkyDoodle #42
Enjoyed reading your blog and that Flat Susan is on tour again. Beautiful Ikebana tag and a nicely arranged workspace. Like it!
Cheers

Happy WOYWW
Hugs Eliza at work without Yoda
Okay so I'm intrigued with your post about flat Susan and her travel adventures - please explain :) Thank you for stopping by my blog earlier Anita #42
Hi Neet, thanks for the visit. Hope Susan reaches her destination okay, it will be nice for you to have her home for Christmas, what stories she has to tell.
Have a great week and happy crafting, Angela x 40
Your mention of Newark hit a nostalgic spot - used to go with my uncle and aunt. Love your tag! Some lovely Flat Susan things to go in the book! My phone is on a Virgin contract, was fine when I first got it and for 2 years had quite good connections for when we went to the caravan and took the laptop to link up to - recently we have had little or no connection - rely on going and using Wifi in Booths cafe!!! I must do something - btw went to see Book of Life with grandchildren last week - ok, lovely art work and will probably be a good DVD to have handy for little ones! Mr Turner next week!!! Chrisxx57
Well, I reckon the ikebana tag was a real brainwave! Sorry, but I had to smile at your first para - I'm always doing things like that. Have a great week, Chris # 7
ah Neet great post - am very late wandering around and starting WOYWW for that matter thought you ikebana was simply brilliant myslef and love the art .. guess might be more common over her as we are closer but was surprised she did not know.. as a crafter an all!
Loved seeing things from Annette to Flat Susan's collection...
Happy Belated WOYWW Shaz in Oz.x #74
Oh I love your Harry Potter box! What a find!
Great stuff there for Flat Susan's book! She certainly had a good time with Eliza, Myrene and Yoda. I've been following closely. I was very pleased to read Flat Susan is visiting Spain. I don't know Kate but discovered she lives not far from me, so perhaps I will get to meet Flat Susan in person. I've sent Kate a message just to introduce myself and say hello.
Sorry I'm so late in commenting. I like to comment on all of the posts but there just aren't enough hours in the day...
Thank you for letting me look over your shoulder.
Have a good week.

Doesn't that frustrate you when you type a whole post and it just disappears into never land! OMG! I love twinkling waters...I own a lot but don't spend a lot of time playing with them. Don't know why...maybe it is the storage and drying time needed before I can put them up. Have a great week. Vickie #68
Apologies for being so late commenting, I have been away! Always love seeing your desk Neet - I absolutely love that skull, it is fabulous and the Harry Potter box was a great find! Flat Susan really has been on some wonderful adventures. Hope all is well with you. Big hugs, Anne xx
Hi Neet, I love the Hogwarts box... would keep it for putting the Halloween candy in if it were mine! I was sick this Halloween so all the cool stuff I bought in Calgary stayed in the cupboard... maybe next year! Looking forward to seeing Flat Susan... I am sure she will enjoy a trip to Scotland!! Sorry I am so late visiting, still plugging away at the list!! Annette #18
Thank you Neet for leaving a comment about the Twinkling H2O's If you don't put the lids back on how do you store them. Do you have a special box/rack etc? I would llike to use mine more but...
I can see you're stressed... I came here to comment on your wonderful Parisian tag to find you've not pushed it into the limelight, poor thing!
