Another week has flown by, why do the days pass so quickly now that I am getting old - I am sure there were more hours in the days when I was younger and went out to work? Perhaps I have little moments of 'nodding off' that I am unaware of and that is where some of the time goes, or perhaps it is just that doing anything takes twice as long as it used to. Result - only half the jobs done these days, it's always time to get in my PJ's and climb into bed.
It's been an end to the Thrinchies challenge. I have done all of them so that is one thing I can put to bed. Now to the Journal pages I keep doing along with my Thursday Journal (Jeudi Journal) and then I have an exciting workshop to attend, but before that I have to plan a birthday treat for my other half. Here's catch up with the thrinchies:
17 Love
18 Critters
19 Colour
20 Containers
21 Leaf
And that is where I will leave it for this week. (Or should I say 'leaf' it - sorry). Here's my desk
I think you can more or less name everything - the jar to the left of my brushes (make up type for those not papercrafters) contains watered down Gesso, the stamps are some new ones I just bought after seeing them on TV. Oh my, did I really spend so much money on these stamps? OUCH! A new designer for Aall & Create and I thought they would go well with the fairies in my journals. Not that I have really got the hang of using the fairy stamps yet. Far right is the birthday card for my other half. He loves pens, not the dip type granted but it was the best I could come up with for his birthday card this year.
This is a photograph of the huge stamps I bought, apologies for the shine, hadn't realised until just now. Such a lot of detail in them. I've turned one over so you can see the size of the image - the brown bit is a three inch square (thrinchie that never got used) to give you an idea of the size of the stamps..
Can't wait to get using them but it will be a while yet as I am too busy at the moment. So I'll leave it there for this week and go for my "fix" snooping at desks with my WOYWW friends. See you over there.
Apologies to anyone who visited me but did not get a return visit. We were away and the internet connection was non existent since they put a new system in. Have complained and complained in the past about it but this last week it was worse than ever - we had nothing! So sorry, if you were latish in getting to me I didn't get chance to visit you in return. Hopefully I can make it up to you this week.
