whats on your workdesk week 69

hello woyww'ers, hope you are all well :) my desk is actually tidier than it has been in the last 2 days, this is me half way through sorting it!  I have a docrafts demo this saturday so I have to repack my tote with their products and get some more samples done.  I have stuff everywhere!  once I get packed and finish samples the tour of Ireland will begin, starting in drogheda, and ending in dublin, hope my poor car holds up!  

looking forward to getting around all your desks later, first though the dreaded tesco visit looms, as we are like mother hubbards here today, must get food in :(  

have a great wednesday and if you are new here and wondering what all this talk of messy desks is about swing by the lovely julias, woyww creator, to join in the fun, xx

love storey

*** EDITED TO SAY: I will post up the details with pics during the week of how I made this box :)***


lovely dovey overload.....if you are squeamish you need to look away now, this will have you reaching for a bucket hehehehehehe!

this is the creative product of my prima kit that I received from crafty alley in killarney.........I love love love love love this kit, did I say I loved it!  I spend days pulling it out of its bag and just stroking it and looking at it in awe :)  I knew I could keep this up for months, so to stop myself & stop that fear I have of taking a scissors to papers I adore there was only one thing for it and that was to start cutting and scoring........first score hurt (ok ok I just couldnt cut the paper, head hanging in shame, so I did this scoring project...to break myself in you see!) but I then got into the swing of it!  that done I decided it was time to scrap our engagement photos.........two years after the event!  at this rate I have a chance of organising a wedding in maybe the next 20 years I reckon, I am shockingly bad :)

hope you all have a lovely weekend, this lady has some housework to get on top of and is making a curry from scratch! enjoy your weekend fun peeps, xx

few cards

...........super quick post and super quick makes, I went to get two cards from my box of cards and it was empty! empty I tell you!! I a card maker have ran out, could not believe it!  so I had to make some super quick ones, one is gone in the post & the other one is following today, I did'nt have time for colouring an image, so I used a melissa frances sticker on the pink/blue one and a stamped image from crafty individuals that required no work apart from a bit from distress stickles.....I feel like I have cheated, I feel like I have'nt really made a card at all.....very weird!  hope you have a lovely thursday bloggers, I have hair to dye here...I spy handfuls of greys peeping out taunting me..evil little suckers.... and housework to get finished.  the girls are over tonight for a crafting session so I am so looking forward to that, some proper play time!  happy thursday, big hugs xx
