WOYWW

Well, well, well... another Wednesday rolls in and another chance to share our workspaces comes around with "What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday?" hosted by the wonderful Julia at the Stamping Ground.
Last night was craft night at Pickwell Farms... it's becoming so popular there now - apparently, someone (mentioning no names here *lol*) keeps blogging about the craft club and so people keep showing up there on the last Tuesday of each month :)
So, onto my desk... and all the goodies I bought last night:
I'm making an album for my eldest daughter - it's getting there... slowly *lol*... I keep getting distracted by the amazing papers that are available everywhere right now. I bought the A4 size Papermania paper pack "At Christmas Time"... such beautiful traditional designs (middle of the desk). I also managed to get hold of some stamps - simple wording - and they'll look great for my Christmas Cottage Mini Album (still just in my head at the moment!). I kept one of the reciepts from my purchases at Pickwells last night... I'm hoping hubby will see the £7.50 total and think that's all I spent... the other reciepts are torn up into little tiny weeny pieces and thrown away :) The reciept is on top of some of the £1 paper packs I also bought last night (bottom right)... the colours are so rich, with pictures of plums and damsons and autumnal fruits throughout.
Last, but by no means least, are the huge amount of peel-off stickers I bought! Mostly Christmas-themed peel-offs in gold and red... I used to be a peel-off sticker snob, but I actually love them - some are so intricate these days with a subtle colouring, that they look expensive and more like embossed images than cheaply priced peel-off stickers!
Of course, there's the obligatory cup of tea getting cold in the middle of my desk... I really should drink up before I end up spilling cold tea all over my new goodies!

I'm off to wake up my youngest daughter now - she's off to college today for her final interview and to show her exam results.
Hope everyone has a wonderful "What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday?"
Have Fun!!!

Good luck to your daughter! I'm rapidly becoming worried by all the Christmas things appearing on crafters' desks. And I just have to get myself down to Pickwell Farm! Happy WOYWW! Di xx

That did make me laugh with the receipts! I've been to Pickwell Farm a couple of times but I didn't know they did craft nights, do many scrappers go? Have fun with the album.

I like all the goodies you got, I'm in need of some new goodies to play with. So many Christmas products are coming out already, I better finish all my summer projects fast.

Good luck with your daughter.

Ah tearing receipts into little pieces. You've got it bad. But not bad enough. There is a WOYWWer that has reported eating her receipt! Lovely selection of Christmas stuff...so now all you have to do is actually use it all!!

Enjoy playing

A desk crammed with goodies - you make me laugh with the receipts...I think we all do it (I remember stashing away cash before I went to Ally Pally so that it was more untraceable how much I spent LOL - tho in fairness he is very good and doesn't really mind)
