WOYWW 818

 Here we are, in February, the days are slipping by too quickly again.  I wonder, do they go quicker as you get older?

Well, this week I have two more 'blue' cards to show you and a desk that may look as if it is set out but it really isn't.  I am looking for things I have done in the past with 'homes' on them.  My friend's daughter has just moved into her own first home with her partner and I must get a card off to her.  I was rather surprised when I went in my box and saw so many cards with houses on them.  Some need a little bit more stamping on them and some are too large for cards so will be chopped down a smidgin for putting into my Lavinia Journal.  Here's my desk

You can just see my coasters on the right hand side - they are drying as they have been coated in varnish at last.  That's my Lavinia Journal in the centre, various 'house' cards scattered about, some glues at the back left and my Metallic Gilding Polish to the top right corner of the journal.  I thought of doing the edges of some pages with the Gilding Polish before I stick my journal page down - a kind of border.  You can see my ink pads are all behind and I am going to get rid of some of them that I haven't used in ages and move the ones I use all the time into a better order.  Mind you the ones I am moving are above what you can see.  Hopefully I will get my craft room sorted (decluttered) this year.  I've been intending doing it for simply ages but my back keeps stopping me doing much.  It's a visit to the Chiro this morning so hopefully .....

Last week I showed you two of my January Blue cards, here are some more:

A bit of resist technique

Blue Hues

Well, that's it for this week, just two more cards to show you next time and hopefully some more after yet another online workshop with Jo.  Off to Sarahs Craft Shed now to catch up with other WOYWW'ers.

ps Friday is a new release day of some more stamps from Lavinia.  These seem to be on a gardening theme and there are some other lovely goodies as well as stamps.  You can enter a competition to win a bundle - doesn't cost you anything but a bit of your time to watch and link etc,
