Another Wednesday is upon us although I am doing this very late on Tuesday night. I won't face it in the morning as I have driven myself crazy all evening. Trying to be a bit of a paper engineer and losing it.
Years ago, when I smoked (no you didn't read that) I could make boxes for my atc's like nobody's business. I just pulled a packet to bits one day, looked at it, worked out new dimensions and away I went. Tonight, ... no way! Not even with a search on You Tube - mind you I did have a bit of a smile at one of the films. Thats got some of you searching now hasn't it?
Anyway, my desk shows you the aftermath of my trying to make the said box - the pile of atc's I have been busy making thrown in tantrum all over the place. But calm down ... here to soothe my jangled nerves is a card I have made for the lady in the breakfast restaurant in Amsterdam who has served 25 years there this month. (She told us last year when we were there that this anniversary was coming up so I thought I would make her a card).
Did want to make some flowers to put on but so far not had time to get around to them but who knows, it might happen. It is a new die I bought at leigh and I used a gorgeous piece of Mirri card in shades of blue and pink and lilac (kind of petrol on water look) underneath. I hope she likes it.
Right, now I have calmed down a bit, here is my desk
Extreme left is my original atc book (too small for the atc's I want to take to Holland) and in the entre some of the miserable attempts I lost my patience with - to the right a load of atc's thrown in temper (not really but scattered to try to calm a bit of heat), at the back the card above and some images I stamped with my friend last Friday. He kindly brought some stamps knowing I like heads and I stamped for England. Going to have some fun with those but now I want that set from America for myself.
OK, now it is time for bed, I am exhausted, see you all in the morning, I have to be up bright and early when I hope to link in with Julia and see lots of deskers as the day progresses - between making another box!!! Oops, it's midnight! Night night All!
