Is it WOYWW 429?

Or have I got wrong numbers down somewhere?  I got so muddled last week but then it doesn't take much.

Well, straight to the point - here's my desk - a couple of shots but then another photo (Tee Hee!)


The first is my desk on the left hand side.  I have some pictures (taken down when decorating) waiting to go up again but I don't know what to do with them.  They are only on Scrapbook Paper and I used to have them pinned on my "wire line" but now I am wondering about putting them onto a canvas. The trouble is I have so many pictures and so little wall space now.  They are 12 x 12 and the first is just a picture of a lady from the internet - the second is me when I was a bridesmaid (cough cough) years ago.


This is the bit where I do most of my stamping etc and all I have are the delightful wooden Alice figures from Saturday's show at Leigh. Lorraine came to show me her set and I asked her to get me one too. Bless her, she is a good pal, she did and here they are.  Just got around to spreading them out. Now to look up the correct colours before I begin painting them.  Did try using my Distress Oxides as watercolour paint on Saturday (on the back of Lorraine's watch) and it worked beautifully.

Told you there was a third photo.  Well, on Saturday I was working, demo'ing the Distress Oxides when I looked up into the biggest smile of the day.  It was a very very dear friend who had travelled 70 miles to come and see me - and she had 70 miles to go back!

Is that a lovely friend or what?  And all because I/we had gone down to surprise her one Thursday only to find she had a dreadful cold and was not there.  Unfortunately with working I did not have much time to talk to her and so it was a brief "hello" for the two of us. Hopefully we will get much more time to chat on the 30th of next month because she is hosting the crop.  I would have loved to take her back home to have dinner with us but she was off next morning to see an old friend and then to visit Mrs D on the way back - but I will leave it to Margaret to tell you all about Mrs D.

Yes, it was Margaret - and here we are stood behind my table at the show:


So in just over five more Wednesdays it will be almost time for us to meet up again - the BIG Meet Up will be taking place on the Saturday so pop along to Julia's blog to find all about it.  Join in with your desk and come along to Llandudno!  See you there!

Anyone else got the sidebar missing now?  The one where you do the "Labels, Schedule, etc".  I noticed last week it had disappeared and I want it back|!  Now I just have the icons but they flit about too quickly for my liking - is it just me and have I clicked on something I shouldn't?  Or is it Blogger who has changed things - again!
