25 weeks ago, I last posted on my blog... nearly half a year without "What's On Your Workdesk? Wednesday"
There's always an excuse... and I have a few lined up - but basically, I'm busy (running around in circles!)
So, today I am back for another WOYWW hosted as always by the amazingingly well-travelled Ms Dunnit over at the Stamping Ground.
So... my desk...

I haven't blogged since July! It's been so long that I forgot how to sign in to my blogger account!!
Anyway... Here I'm sat at a few minutes past midnight on Wednesday morning, with a few minutes to spare... so what better way to use those minutes than with a blog update through

Hosted by our wonderful globetrotting Ms Julia of the Stamping Ground, it is our weekly round up of taking a peek around the world at other people's work spaces and marveling at how neat/messy/creative/ stuffed they are (the work spaces, not the bloggers lol)

I should have listened... so many of you were right...
I can't find anything in my 'new' craft room lol
Although I didn't rummage through too many of my 35 craft drawers (yes, 35... plus 17 boxes and 7 shelves lol), I did take the labels off the front of them telling me what was inside. And then I swapped a few drawers around thinking a new order would make more sense.

I have been a bad WOYWW'er :( I had every intention of seeing everyone last week - especially after being the first to tickle Mr Linky. But alas, I did something stoopid instead. Not being able to sleep, I thought my craft-room could do with a tidy-up... so tidied I did. For FIVE days! I am now unable to move and aching in places I'd forgotten I had lol
Sadly, because of my daft idea that my Bubbleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17260980788924722291noreply@blogger.com34tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4830616791254484858.post-51107882167031307922017-06-20T22:40:00.002+01:002017-06-21T03:23:13.140+01:00WOYWW #420
Wednes-YAY!!! is here again :)
I've had a weird sort of week - and wasn't able to visit many desks last week - something I hope to rectify this week. I have had so much trouble with ordering online - so many hassles with lost orders, and orders that did arrive being wrong :( Still.. could be worse - I could be sat here in the middle of a heatwave, sweating in a tiddly tiny overstuffed craftroomBubbleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17260980788924722291noreply@blogger.com21tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4830616791254484858.post-65771592602438464012017-06-14T00:17:00.000+01:002017-06-14T07:53:27.646+01:00WOYWW #419

Apologies again... my desk is uber-boring this week with nothing to show, save for a notepad and pencil.
And apologies also for the dim photograph :(

Yay...I finally figured out the webcam, editing software, and how to get a YouTube upload channel. Unfortunately, I haven't figured out the microphone settings, so the sound quality isn't good - but at least I did it - all on my own! lol
I've uploaded a few albums I had made in the past - but the Alice one is here.

My desk is empty... well, sort of :)

I finally decided on the closure for the mini. It was a tough choice because I really wanted to use the antique military buttons I have - but it didn't look quite right. So, after much thought and deliberation, I put together a chain and charm closure ...
As usual, I have overdone the charms - but I do so love the feel and the sound of them as I open up the album :)
So far there's a Bubbleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17260980788924722291noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4830616791254484858.post-77541239981930792402017-05-10T23:12:00.001+01:002017-05-10T23:12:28.405+01:00Album Spine
The album spine is done - I knew I wanted a corseted ribbon design on it, but had no idea how to achieve this at all. So thank you YouTube and especially Scrap Queen :)
It's quite strange, but for all the hassle I've had trying to finish this album, now it's almost done I'm kind of missing the creativity of it already :) Maybe these last few tweaks and 'adds' will last a few weeks to get Bubbleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17260980788924722291noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4830616791254484858.post-39492813861482632382017-05-10T22:27:00.001+01:002017-05-10T22:27:18.601+01:00A Special Day
I thought I'd add this here... today is a special day.
Twenty-three years ago, I got married to the most amazing man on the planet. I love him just as much now as I did then - only now that love is stronger. He is a wonderful father, protector, husband, grand-dad and friend.
Okay, so he isn't actually the perfect man... hes just the perfect man for me.

Yay! for another What's On Your Workdesk? Wednesday :)
Today, I'm doing something a little different; not so much as to what is on MY workdesk, but rather what is on HIS workdesk - the 'his' in question being my wonderful hubby, Colin :)
He has a workspace in his shed where he potters about, fixing everything I break, making useful things out of rubbish and generally having fun taking his Bubbleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17260980788924722291noreply@blogger.com17tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4830616791254484858.post-78798284392717290772017-05-01T18:24:00.002+01:002017-05-01T18:28:43.293+01:00Shopping!
I thought I'd do a quickie post in between making the pages for the Alice album...
I've been on a couple of shopping trips, and apart from a corner punch and the cheap papers at the £1 store, I think I managed to get everything I needed (and more!)
This photo was taken after my trip the The Range last Wednesday. This is just a small part of what was bought :) Papers, dies, more papers.Bubbleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17260980788924722291noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4830616791254484858.post-13051192360225666512017-04-25T20:42:00.003+01:002017-04-26T15:25:55.423+01:00WOYWW #412
Wednesday again... already!!! Well, Tuesday actually - but it's nearly Wednesday, and if I don't write this post now, I'll never have time lol
So, What Is On Your (MY) Workdesk? Wednesday?
Nothing really lol
I'm looking through my computer at the digital papers I have, to start my Alice In Wonderland album... and have decided that I will be making at least two of them now. One will be black Bubbleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17260980788924722291noreply@blogger.com23tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4830616791254484858.post-63757973936466973702017-04-22T17:36:00.000+01:002017-04-22T17:36:45.351+01:00Tidying up!
Hubby and I have our 23rd Wedding Anniversary very soon - and so he bought me a new toy to play with. I am the very happy owner of a Sizzix Big Shot Plus :)
Unfortunately, today I am really not well enough to sit and craft - having a bit of a Fibro-Flare-Up. So... I decided to potter a bit and tidy my little craft room. Amazingly, I have just one tiny carrier bag of rubbish to throw away - Bubbleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17260980788924722291noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4830616791254484858.post-82802723911970744082017-04-22T02:07:00.000+01:002017-04-22T02:07:43.573+01:00And More Progress...
I changed my mind again! I'm pretty sure now that the base will NOT go with the suitcase... I'll make another base instead. Also, I've figured out how the suitcase will be decorated - and that's almost completed now. Inside, I think I'll line it with torn pages of an "Alice In Wonderland" book that I've printed out. Really, it's just the back of the suitcase that's changed...
I added a Bubbleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17260980788924722291noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4830616791254484858.post-57059956315857417582017-04-21T22:49:00.000+01:002017-04-21T22:49:18.697+01:00Progress...
It's a bit of a pain when you have loads of ideas in your head, but no real plan on how to execute any of them... this is what I have discovered whilst throwing together the stand and box for a mini-album I have yet to make (or even envisage as yet!). Progress has been made, however... slow though it may be :)

And the back...
