Yes I am back! I must admit I struggle just sitting in front of the computer ( terrible sciatica pain) , but I said to myself I have to start with my crafting and blogging again. So here I am.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">My last post was in January when I hoped I would be a regular but life keeps interfering, I was ill, my 89 year old mom had terrible problems with her eyes so I had to take care of her and then I finally got a date for my knee operation ( after 11 years of waiting) so I started going swimming to get stronger and ready for the op and now the sciatica happened.Oh well...luckily my daughter is a physiotherapist and she is trying to sort me out. It is a year since my Alan passed away and I still think of him every day but I am being positive and remembering all the good times we had.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Now about my crafting... to be honest I haven't been doing much as I just didn't have the will to do stuff, plus I still haven't sorted out all the boxes of stuff I brought from England, but recently I have been watching a lot of videos and the will for making cards has come back. Also I am pondering about all these new techniques especially foiling. Is it worth it? The thing is my main way of making cards is stamping, die cutting and using stencils and embossing folders - if I start with foiling that means I have to buy a foiling machine, foiling plates... and all that goes with it. I used to like to go with the flow but some how I think these new techniques are just demanding too much... so what do you think crafty friends? Do you think the investment is worth it? Well that is my debate for the day....</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">And now my desk...very boring...I have bought yet another set of washi tape, die and stamp from Pink fresh studio...I am a bit obsessed with this stuff. It is quite easy to make nice cards with these washi tape die cuts and me not being to good at coloring it really helps. If you look closely you will see to pairs of glasses..why? Because if by any chance one gets buried under piles of my stuff the other one then pops out! Neet aye? </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJIKHvVFMo5aAwRsoQrha_umw60RG75GoIIimxzJFEsu6iD4dPHcqKOcoJFKc7Lgp7QMoPvLtj65ueD4kqYHCU5NS7QhbbAsxg1kjqLf9IY2-VZpUFBfc_wWLO0_oWnevmwWiXKPmZIt8eQUXvPj3omPXe61_CCNGoA68butnh_GEk_JJ5wDDRZtkxZQ/s4000/20230726_092734.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3000" data-original-width="4000" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJIKHvVFMo5aAwRsoQrha_umw60RG75GoIIimxzJFEsu6iD4dPHcqKOcoJFKc7Lgp7QMoPvLtj65ueD4kqYHCU5NS7QhbbAsxg1kjqLf9IY2-VZpUFBfc_wWLO0_oWnevmwWiXKPmZIt8eQUXvPj3omPXe61_CCNGoA68butnh_GEk_JJ5wDDRZtkxZQ/s320/20230726_092734.jpg" width="320" /></a></span></div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /> I have recently made a card for my 91 year old neighbor.

That did not happen in my case BUT I did start sorting out my boxes. I had a box full of A4 tonic studio card-stock and I am telling you I have found that I have every color imaginable, so my files where I had a few are now full! I think there is enough there for the rest of my crafty life! Also I put away all the Christmas stamps and dies which I didn't use much as I didn't send any cards although I did make a few and they will be used next year! I also sorted out some Valentines day stamps and dies and also some Easter ones.</p><p>Now to my desk! Another rather bad photo! My camera is somewhere - I don't know exactly where so I am using my phone camera - as my phone is on its last knocking ( I am deciding to buy a new one but I haven't decided yet) the photos are not very good - sorry!</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTAjI0HODfGYfiBQLsrffU5NJnWGEeb0wEZiHtxC9aNyy8LKYetnU4GxssKzQD-RFJoNYr3B5_pW6sQdhi0jgBlN5kb3PikmvJF62sXxj0GyzUGYTj_17uaqB-NQCaYEIGqwme69sMoPIu5m1fWtx8PLqQUNagkXlqYse1bqsrH-FuWQrumF34U1E/s4032/20230125_183943.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1960" data-original-width="4032" height="156" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTAjI0HODfGYfiBQLsrffU5NJnWGEeb0wEZiHtxC9aNyy8LKYetnU4GxssKzQD-RFJoNYr3B5_pW6sQdhi0jgBlN5kb3PikmvJF62sXxj0GyzUGYTj_17uaqB-NQCaYEIGqwme69sMoPIu5m1fWtx8PLqQUNagkXlqYse1bqsrH-FuWQrumF34U1E/s320/20230125_183943.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p>As you can see I pulled out some Penny Black stamps with a Valentine's Day theme: I did stamp them but haven't colored them yet. Also there are some new dies from Penny Black (resolution to not buy anything went out the window) I found a heart stencil from Simon says stamp so I have a few Valentines day things ready to make things. Although my dear Alan has passed away and I can't make a card for him anymore I will give some cards to friends who don't have partners but are happy to get a Valentines day card! </p><p>I hope I will have some cards to show next week when I sort my desk out so that I at least can put a A2 card on there! To write this post I had to prop my keyboard on top of that pile of things you see on the photo! </p><p>I want to share a memory with you ... Whenever I went to craft shows like Ally Pally Alan would come with me and while I was pottering around he would patiently wait for me. Here is a photo of him at Ally Pally happily waiting for me - He was such a nice man! It was 6 months since he passed away and I decided to only think of happy memories.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicmk8bbJ66vPs6HMvb96zXCdRenXnxspzTb7dajozEjxIiQRfwJ18_b1JnmBZ3mFWNaoLJdQ1y11L2b6tpORbGL5Hq4pplCshP8iVszdMQAI4xx80zJNIe4lxew328iy271fdp857fKcxOwdEMwn7ayoBZXPqw9jkT1pHPYz8IWFRFmu5Kf6LNIdU/s3487/DSCN0012%20(2).JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2449" data-original-width="3487" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicmk8bbJ66vPs6HMvb96zXCdRenXnxspzTb7dajozEjxIiQRfwJ18_b1JnmBZ3mFWNaoLJdQ1y11L2b6tpORbGL5Hq4pplCshP8iVszdMQAI4xx80zJNIe4lxew328iy271fdp857fKcxOwdEMwn7ayoBZXPqw9jkT1pHPYz8IWFRFmu5Kf6LNIdU/s320/DSCN0012%20(2).JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p>Lots of love and hugs to all have a lovely week - enjoy crafting as it is still cold and our hobby is the best thing to do on a cold winters night!</p><p>CARDARIAN</p><p><br /></p> Cardarian http://www.blogger.com/profile/16788020370642483959noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3020963125683387161.post-56291477430957999092023-01-18T12:30:00.000+01:002023-01-18T12:30:06.853+01:00I am back after 2 years! WOYWW 711<p> My dear bloggy and WOYWW friends!</p><p><br /></p><p>After 2 years of absence I am back to start my new blogging life! A lot has happened in these 2 years! Most of 2021 I was very ill! After a lot of physiotherapy and suffering I got to a point where my life was a bit easier and I was hoping to have my knee operations and then be free of this pain! But in 2022 tragedy struck again! My dear Alan fell and broke his neck and in a second became paraplegic! Which means he could not feel anything from his neck down. He was hospitalized here in Slovenia and then flown back to England after a month and sadly passed away a few months later. A few weeks after Alan passed away my dear friend Jo Pritchard a fellow crafter also passed away so I have lost 2 of my dearest people. I will be honest I did not expect this to happen and it has really struck me down so bad some days I couldn't even get out of bed. No crafting has been done for many months. I did try to make Christmas cards but also gave up on that as there was no mojo at all. My daughter got really worried for me and has been sending me encouraging messages for weeks now every morning so I thought I must get out of this terrible route otherwise I will pass away too and I still have to take care of my 89 year old mom and my daughter, so I decided to give it a go and start life over again! It is hard to do it but I must! The sad thing is because I went back to England to be with Alan I have lost my spot for my knee operation so have to start anew on the waiting list! Also I had to move out of Alan's house and my flat now is full of boxes I have shipped from England and have no will at the moment to unpack, well I don't even know where to put things! So my dear friends that is what has happened to me in the last 2 years! I have finally made 2 cards this week, one for my moms birthday and also for my cousin - they both have their birthday on the same day! My photos of my desk and cards are not very good as I have taken them with my phone and well the quality is poor but I hope to improve my blogging and photo skills as time passes.</p><p>So this is my messy desk and craft room!</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitMbADt2EEZYghviohb20u44kOceaKIUgHKdhGGTmFMYbWFhYX5_I-Dk-ZmRuNh_bg58Q-3uQcYDKin09xhcJMALvoObg1dOaY1PfI2mXfkdiStJCEpAnOcIogbnIQJjGb2f56uCGNTiCopM6WMtpo1QFo2etJHrpPfmzcL6c01dY_Ey-xt2oX3c0/s4032/20230118_120236.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="1960" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitMbADt2EEZYghviohb20u44kOceaKIUgHKdhGGTmFMYbWFhYX5_I-Dk-ZmRuNh_bg58Q-3uQcYDKin09xhcJMALvoObg1dOaY1PfI2mXfkdiStJCEpAnOcIogbnIQJjGb2f56uCGNTiCopM6WMtpo1QFo2etJHrpPfmzcL6c01dY_Ey-xt2oX3c0/s320/20230118_120236.jpg" width="156" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVLPJguo8kvmUSEZK23MqnZNlIuqedx3RqzBATPDERswFi-lglk7Kg9OG3GqeZg7l5xBc8AyTG9LA9FXKQRGd_-LwhGFsV84R-4YCx-NnxGn2xT5wWE0GHobnnPX6Le1caFj9YetFMc_ecS2rY7LmdrYvIJsEPn5ZkujL2Odzn1QUI9OTU_qrdeyA/s4032/20230118_120251.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="1960" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVLPJguo8kvmUSEZK23MqnZNlIuqedx3RqzBATPDERswFi-lglk7Kg9OG3GqeZg7l5xBc8AyTG9LA9FXKQRGd_-LwhGFsV84R-4YCx-NnxGn2xT5wWE0GHobnnPX6Le1caFj9YetFMc_ecS2rY7LmdrYvIJsEPn5ZkujL2Odzn1QUI9OTU_qrdeyA/s320/20230118_120251.jpg" width="156" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKOqaIs5AswPW113Te6kfmFQtcjUcFW4Khao_pj0sclJ-mlB__qkOQZFdnZuKK0lmBhAPrYEX7ot_46fiH_taDrxQ4ReFRTZBxMvU11dvrOqedmI2fTm4lYwyMAhXQz1jxvIhncrgDKjjCzlTiDzbmvdm-Wq1_mmjZz2Mhg0HR8UFde05X9KYLMmE/s4032/20230118_121928.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="1960" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKOqaIs5AswPW113Te6kfmFQtcjUcFW4Khao_pj0sclJ-mlB__qkOQZFdnZuKK0lmBhAPrYEX7ot_46fiH_taDrxQ4ReFRTZBxMvU11dvrOqedmI2fTm4lYwyMAhXQz1jxvIhncrgDKjjCzlTiDzbmvdm-Wq1_mmjZz2Mhg0HR8UFde05X9KYLMmE/s320/20230118_121928.jpg" width="156" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>And here are the 2 cards I managed to make with Pink Fresh Studio washi tape and dies!

So sorry I haven't been around! My plans for 2020 were to have 2 knee operations - one in April and one in November! Of course none of that has happened thanks to COVID so I am on crutches now - well at least if I go out of the house! Luckily we are still healthy - my daughters boyfriend did catch the virus but he got over it and is well. We are very careful, don't go out much - except for a walk when it is sunny and to our little local shop to get bread and milk. </span></p><p><span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: verdana;">To talk about crafting - I have made a lot of Christmas cards and birthday cards! I am having a big rethink about the way I will be buying stash and crafting. Maybe some of you ladies have seen a video from a lady called Justine Hovey! She was on various design teams and has made 700 videos over the years! She talks about how she has given up being on all design teams and how she is really fed up with these constant new "kits" coming out, pushing us to buy more and more. And I agree! When I started making cards and that is believe it or not now about 12 years ago new things were coming out twice a year or maybe 4 times a year! It was mostly spring and just before Christmas! Now it is almost every week ! And it is overwhelming! You try to keep up with the trends but it is just impossible! I am taking a new approach. I find that when I had less I was making nicer stuff or should I say more inventive! I still love all the dies I am a big fan of but I need to just try and use other techniques and use all the thousand things I have and have never used or used only once!!!

<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I hope you are not suffering too much in the heat! I am in Slovenia, finally got here and very happy too. Of course it was not all happy here as I came to a disaster on my terrace - the pidgins have taken it over and well I needed 2 days just to clean their mess up! I don't think they will be coming anywhere near my terrace in the future. It is hot here but bearable. I cleaned the whole flat now (you wouldn't believe how much dust gathers in 6 months huh!)and I will now be able to concentrate on my crafty stuff!</span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I managed to bring a few things with me and here they are all dumped on my desk!</span><br />

<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As you can see my Distress Oxide inks and sprays are always close, but in general a big chaos just because I haven't had time yet to tidy up.

<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> I am going to mention the C word! Yes I will start on Christmas cards next week. I am going to spend some time with my mom next week - she is 86 - lives on her own and has just recently installed internet in her house! She can actually Whatsapp me! YIPEEE! This of course means that I will be connected and able to show what I have been making next week! This post is a bit short today - I am exhausted from all the housework so I will be commenting on your desks tomorrow!</span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Have a lovely week, connect to <a href="https://stamping-ground.blogspot.com/2020/08/whats-on-your-workdesk-wednesday-584.html">Julia </a>and I will "see" you soon!</span><br />

<span style="color: #741b47;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #741b47;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">First an apology! I haven't had time to comment on many blogs and I probably won't be able to do it this week as I am finally off to Slovenia. I will be leaving on Friday so there is a lot to do before I go. It is not just the packing but also visiting people, people visiting us before we go, going to shops to buy stuff we need to take with us - ah it is just an endless list! The biggest problem for me is to decide what crafty stuff to take with me! I am thinking of putting it all in a box and sending it via Hermes! I have stuff in Slovenia too but there is a lot I want to take with me! We used to go by car but it is risky this year (boarders might suddenly close) so we decided to go by plane which means 2 suitcases and no more! </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #741b47;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Anyway 2 things I want to talk about. First - the new blogger! I haven't got a clue! I reversed to the old one today as I didn't know what to do with the new one but they say they will get rid of the old version very soon. I really hope my daughter or her boyfriend will know what to do with it and will tell me when I get to Slovenia! Why did they have to change it? It was quite clear to understand as it was before! Anyway that was my moan. I am interested if any of you other people have a problem with it! I noticed Julia had to call in help from her daughter! </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #741b47;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The second thing I would like to talk about is the magic triangle. I think a few of you liked it so I looked up what it is called and it is the MAGIC BEAD TRAY. You can get it at Bumbleberry Papercrafts, although at the moment they are sold out. How it works you ask! They have this pattern at the bottom of the tray looks like a hexagon and it is a little bit raised - I guess that helps the beads turn around! </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #741b47;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Ok then that is all my talking about things, now back to the business of showing my desk....another messy one....</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #741b47;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>

<span style="color: #741b47;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">On the left there is my new project, which I will show in a minute, right at the front is an envelope I made to suit to the card, bone folder ( not the fancy one). and in the back there are new Dina Wakely gloss sprays. I did try them out and found they didn't do for me what they did for Dina on her video but still I think they will be useful. And now the big reveal....my first slim line card....they seem to be the in thing at the moment ...</span></span><br />

It has been recently revealed to me that one of his daughters is not very keen on flowers - I could have taken notice of that before as she never wears anything else but black and gray - no flowers in their garden and no flowers or color in their house! I still can't give up color but I gave up flowers - no flower in sight on the card - only animals which she loves so I am probably good now! :-) Slim line cards? Well I am not that keen. Is it better upright or across? I fiddled with that for about half an hour...in the end decided this was the way to go....</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #741b47;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #741b47;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I hope you are all well. They (the government) are now letting us do all sorts of things but the question is do we want to do any of what we are permitet? It almost makes me worried to go out to shops and restaurants - I did take the plunge for one thing - swimming! I will have two sessions next week - there are lots of rules to abide but for me it is vital! I am hoping to go home soon and get my op but we will see... you will be informed ha, ha...</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #741b47;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Okay so lets get back to the reason we are gathering today and that is to show our desks...I now have a lot of cards ready for any occassion so I am quite happy with all my lockdown work...I haven't finished my new needle felting project yet - as I am hoping to go home soon I have been busy with other stuff but I am getting there....it will be reveled soon...</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #741b47;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Sooo....first up my desk this morning...</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #741b47;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">My MISTI there balancing on the big shot....I love the MISTI - I really find it a handy tool as I have messed up so much stamping over the years!</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #741b47;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Here is a bit of my desk that is such a mess but I never get round to tidying it up I just push it back...</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #741b47;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Spray bottle , a little dish full of die cuts, washi tape, glues, nuvo drops....a right mess....</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #741b47;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #741b47;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">And now I would like to show you my "spring - summer collection of stamps and dies"</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #741b47;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #741b47;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This one box.....</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #741b47;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">They are all sorted by brands and in the original packaging....I don't put them in new plastic bags as I think one plastic packaging is enough - if it gets damaged I try to fix it with washi tape...</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #741b47;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Here is another box full....this is mostly ALTENEW stamp sets and dies and some from the Works - I find their dies are cheep and some very good! </span></span><br />

<span style="color: #741b47;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Now I would like to turn your attention to this little tool I have recently discovered...Do you have a problem with sequins, pearls or jewels always being turned up side down and then really struggling to get them the right side up when you want to put them on the card. Well I do and so I have found this thing - I think it is called the magic triangle....you put your pearls or sequins in the triangle like this...</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #351c75;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #351c75;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I am late posting! I didn' t post last week as I forgot it was Wednesday! That is what being retired or in lockdown or old age does to you! Huh! Anyway today's being late has a reason - I have been making a card - I will explain but first my desk which this morning looked like this - I would say fairly tidy...</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #351c75;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">two hours later this was what it looked like......</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #351c75;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #351c75;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">People who have seen my cards over the years know I am this straight forward background, focal point, A2 or C6 kinda gal. No fancy folds or anything like that. But since being in lockdown I have ventured into new things ( what can you do in this boring boring time?!?). As you saw recently I have made a peek-a-boo card and today I tried an easel card. I of course couldn't do it myself so I bought these dies from Tonic studio - it says they are for a three tier easel card - I couldn't be bothered - even one tier was a lot of work! You have to get the "mechanism" right then decorate it then cut an extra bit so you can write the card - honestly I will only do this kinda card for my daughter or mother! No chance this would be rolled out more often!</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Still here is the result.....probably not as Tonic studios intended it to be but "it is my way" (remember Frank Sinatra singing this?)</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #351c75;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I am back from silence! Some days honestly I am really down and I just can't get my head around writing a blog, but I was thinking if I do a few inbetween WOYWW I might get into it more, so I will do that in the future!</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This will be a very long blog post, picture heavy as I have lots to show. I have noticed a weired thing.On my last post some photos have dissapeared and there are now just some weird circles on there and I don't know what that is about! If any of you know can you please tell me what has happened!</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Any way her we go....first up desk....new stamps...</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #351c75;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This one shows the bigger picture as you can see I do have a messy craft room and since the lockdown happened it has gone even messier! HUH!</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I have made lots of cards since my last post I will not show all of them but prepare for a lot!</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This first one I think the sentiment is right for these days!</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #351c75;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">What you see is some Altenew watercolors, an Altenew cover die......and then on the next photo the there is already a finished watercolor background and on the third photo a load of "junk" on my desk! Notice the tiny space I have left to actually do something!😏</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I will explain quickly the technique I have been recently been doing which I saw on the<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E64ncKhsnUQ&t=916s"> memory box blog</a> and it was done by Dave Brethauer. This is how it goes. You put some wide washi tape on a freezer paper, then choose any die you want and die cut it from the freezer paper covered in washi tape. this way you get a sort of "stencil" that has strong sticky on the back. I then take the die cut off the freezer paper (be very careful how you do it especially if you have chosen an intricate die!) and stick it on some watercolor paper. Then you watercolor and because the die is stuck very snug to the paper you get a wonderful result of watercolor and clean lines where the washi tape was stuck to the paper. You can use various double sided sticky sheets but I think those are quite expensive where as we have big roles of washi tape tape in our stash. Why not use it?</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have 2 examples here... I showed this one in of my previos posts....</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #741b47;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #741b47;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Good morning to everybody!HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!!!!🎉 Are you celebrating? Is the champagne out? 😃 Are your desks ready for show? And have you done the special forsaken/challenging project our lovely task master <a href="https://stamping-ground.blogspot.com/">Julia</a> gave us for the anniversary? 😊</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #741b47;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Well I am very happy to have come back just in time to celebrate! And it was just health reasons and caring (for Alan) that kept me away! </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #741b47;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My first post on WOYWW was actually in 2010 on the 17th february. It was from my "home" desk and I must say that my desk since then is a lot more messy! I have bought hundreds of crafty things since and many of them because I saw them on WOYWW. I have also learned a lot more since then and even now I learn something every time I snoop around the desks.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #741b47;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">But lets talk about the community of WOYWW. Yes lets talk about all you lovely ladies that come along every week and not just to show off your desk but also to support when one needs it. <a href="https://stamping-ground.blogspot.com/">Julia our Queen</a> is such an amazing lady! To start this community and keep it going for all these years - that is an amazing achievement and I salute you my dear friend! Lets not forget all the wonderful crops that we have all been to at one time or another! Lots of chat, crafting and cake!!And all the amazing friendships, that stretch beyond the WOYWW. So dear Julia and all you lovely WOYWW ladies a big THANK YOU to all of you from me the CARDARIAN.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #741b47;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I could carry on talking about things for ages but I have to get on with the usual business of showing what is on my desk.</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #741b47;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Not much crafting going on this morning - a few new bits - 2 die sets from Pink fresh studio and 2 new embossing folders! At the far end of the desk you can see my anniversary challenge project, which brings me to the the other desk , ha, ha the third one I have taken over in the house and this will probably give you a clue of what I have been doing....</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #741b47;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So let me tell you about this project! A few years at the crop Annie or <a href="https://wipso-astitchintime.blogspot.com/">WIPSO</a> brought her felting machine to the crop! She showed me how felting was done and I really liked it! So I went home and started thinking about buying myself this machine. It was quite expensive and well as you know if you can't start on something straight away the enthusiasm fizzles out...BUT every now and then I saw some needle felting project on the internet so I kept on thinking about it UNTIL 2 weeks ago I saw Annies - I think it is her niece Maxine at <a href="https://www.tillyteadance.co.uk/">TILLY TEA DANCE</a> do a video on how to do it! My enthusiasm was back so I went on the internet bought the foam, brush, needles, and tool and started on my first ever needle felting....and this is the result....</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #741b47;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I am not an artist so don't judge it too harsh...I loved doing it and have already started on a new project. I am looking to find prefelt as I can't find it anywhere at the moment! So there that is my forsaken idea and challenge.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #741b47;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In other news I have made a card this week which took me a few hours to make as all the flowers were colored with coloring pencils! If you want a good blend it takes a long time!Huh!</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I hope you are all well. I am sure you have all got the message from the government although some people seem to be confused so Matt Lucas has explained it clearly! 😄</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I thought this was quite funny! Back to the business of today we are showing our desks and talking about what we have been doing all week! Well.....</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I was thinking this morning how making cards has changed over the years! And how the stamp industry has changed. Nowadays it is all about dies and die cuts , the stamps are relativly simple ...I used to love stamps from a company called Lost Coast Designs that were very elaborate also others...I seem to be happy just using a few die cuts for a card sometimes these days... I made an effort this week and stamped a few bits - used an old stamp for the background which I have recently rediscovered ....</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">What you see is a bunch of stamped sentiments cut out with this relativly new die from Taylored Expressions that cuts lots of them at once - very handy! Then there is a bag of sequins and gems which I use a lot and a few bits from this new kit called Tropical Paradise from Tonic Studios which arrived with a 2 month delay - I will show some of the dies included next time - quite nice dies !</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Not finished yet with the messy photos....downstairs in the lounge I have taken over the table with my sewing stuff - making masks...as I was going to take the photo Alan said "What?!? Are you taking a photo of all your junk?" Junk to some, valuable assets to others 😉</span></span><br />

Huh! I have a lot to choose from - over the years I have started a lot of projects - got really excited and then...got bored and abonded the half done project. So I am now deciding which forsaken project to choose and finish till next week...Huh! Our task master gives us hard tasks! 😏</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My dear friends have a lovely week.. I will try and visit as much of you as I can! I am getting back in the swing of it but I am still slow commenting! Will get there!!!</span></span><br />

<br />
A hello and big hug to all of you! It is a virtual hug so don't worry about the virus! I have been silent for almost a year and now I have finally got back the courage and will to write and post a blog! These are weird times and I have been through a lot this year. Still I am alive and well, so is my partner Alan. I have been swimming almost every day until this virus came along and just as I should have finally got my knee operation it was cancelled thanks to COVID 19! And who knows when I will get it now. Hay ho, that is life. I don't want to complain as hearing about all the deaths and people suffering every day you would be really ungrateful as you are still healthy and sitting in your craft room making cards or whatever takes your fancy!So coming to the point of crafting and WOYWW I must say although I haven't been blogging a lot has been going on in my craftroom! I have made and am still making lots of cards - made a few changes to my craft room and although I have tons of crafty stuff I am still buying new things - it is a disease I just can't stop myself!<br />
So lets first have a look at my desk .....<br />
As you can see on the first and second photo I have bought this MDF storage system for my distress ink pads and reinkers - I actually colored them with distress oxide sprays and then filled them up with all my inkpads sorted by color. Proud of that achivement..<br />

On the photo above you can see I also have the Tim Holtz glass media mat! I was not sure about it at first but I like it because at least a little bit of my desk stays clean and ready for me to make things..well lets be honest I still sometimes end up with about a 5 inch square of space to work on but what can I do?!? I am a messy crafter!<br />
Here are a few of the cards I have made as of lately.....various techniques using inlays, stencils, die cuts and watercolors. I am trying to experiment with everything.<br />

I saw the challenge that<a href="https://stamping-ground.blogspot.com/2020/05/whats-on-your-workdesk-wednesday-570.html"> Queen Julia </a>has given us for our 11th anniversary (although being away for a year am I still on 10?!?) and I think I have a few projects in various envelopes, bags and boxes that need finishing so I think I will have a go at it!<br />
I am really happy to be back in the community of my lovely crafty friends! I will try to visit all your desks and say hello! I just got a cup of tea on my desk from my Alan so I am ready to have a snoop around the desks!<br />
Love and hugs to all, glad to be back!<br />

Alan is feeling better and I am feeling well - the same - but I don't want to miss this lovely opportunity to meet so many of you lovely ladies! We will be traveling to the area on Friday so there will be no pressure on the day to get to the crop! I just can't wait - and I hear there will be a lot of us coming to this crop! Better hurry with my ATCs....here is my desk of today!</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #a64d79;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #a64d79;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">These days I am a rare sight at the WOYWW but it is not forgotten for me! Health issues both for me and my partner have taken me away from blogging but I will be back! I am of course back today because it is a very special day! 10 years of WOYWW. It is 10 years of messy desks, tidy desks, snooping on other peoples desks, learning new crafty tricks and making really, really special friendships with crafters from all over the world, UK, EU, USA, Australia and well everywhere! <a href="http://stamping-ground.blogspot.com/">Julia our Queen of deskers - founder of STAMPING GROUND </a>where we all meet - I am sure you never thought this would go so far and beyond! Well done my dear friend! And of course a big THANK YOU!!! This WOYWW has made me the crafty person I am today! And friends that I met through this lovely gathering have taught me a lot! I am forever grateful for this wonderful, wonderful thing called WOYWW.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #a64d79;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I will participate in the ATC swap of course and maybe just maybe if health of my partner improves I might be able to join the celebratory party (crop) in Shrewsbury! But if it doesn't , my dear friends my thoughts will be there with you!</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #a64d79;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Of course there is this usual business of showing our desks - and here is mine in all its messy glory! </span></span><br />

<span style="color: #a64d79;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I have been frantically making cards - birthday cards, get well cards all sorts and to be honest I just don't have time to tidy up so enjoy the snooping - there is a few new products you can see! More washi tapes from Altenew - why am I still buying washi tapes if I have 2 boxes full of them??!? Can't give you an answer to that...here are a few examples of my latest cards....</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #a64d79;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #a64d79;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I am back after a while - I try to make it every week but I will be honest I am sooo tired after all this swimming and trying to loose weight I just many times don't feel like doing anything. I am still regularly making cards - after making loads of Valentine's Day cards I have now moved to Easter cards and also birthday cards. So lets have a look first at my desk which looks clean at the moment although it is only clean after I made a card for about 5 minutes and then it gets all "crowded" again. I have this new Tim Holtz glass mat and I remember him saying because it is a bit lifted from the desk it makes you have more space - doesn't work for me - it still gets really messy!</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #a64d79;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Next a few cards I have made recently....</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #a64d79;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">First birthday cards - this one is for my nephew it is a shaker card and the letters are an MFT block letters die...I used them a bit different then what they have intended to be used...Background distress oxide sprays and a cogs embossing folder...</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #a64d79;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This card was made for my partners grandaughter - it was made with one of the new Altenew 3D dies..I love how it turned out...I also used distress oxides for the background - the combination of colors I used was in a video by Kristina Werner who has been showing lots of distress oxide ink combinations.</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I am late posting and this will be a quick one too! I have been making cards and ordering new stuff too so that is what I will be showing you!</span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My mom was 85 last week and I made a card for her birthday....</span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">She liked it very much - I think because it was so colorful! </span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have also made another Valentines day card... I make these love cards for friends who I know will not get a Valentines day card - just to show some love and kindness to them...</span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Now that I look at them both they look similar although they have been made with completely different dies and techniques!</span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have recently, actually before Christmas, discovered a German company that makes stamps and dies and lovely papers called Alexandra Renke - I have ordered stuff to England and also here to Slovenia and the service is perfect! So I recommend it!</span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here are a few bits I have ordered.....</span><br />

<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">A few dies, papers, which were too big to fit into my photo and lovely washi tape! I said I won't buy any more washi tape but I just couldn't resist it! </span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So there my lovely friends that is me for this <a href="http://stamping-ground.blogspot.com/">WOYWW</a>.... I probably won't be on here next week as I will be travelling back to England!</span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Have a lovely week and enjoy your crafting!</span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Love and hugs to all of you</span><br />

<span style="color: #e06666; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Good evening WOYWWers!</span><br />
<span style="color: #e06666; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #e06666; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I am a bit late coming on here - the reason being I was contemplating what to make to show on my desk - I have not been doing much crafting since Christmas - simply burned out! Huh! </span><br />
<span style="color: #e06666; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Today was one of those days when outside it was dull and dreary so I thought I can start on something! What to make? I did see somewhere on the internet that this years <span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-size: 15px;">Pantone Color of the year 2019 will be LIVING CORAL. So I thought maybe I can do something with that! I made a background with Distress oxide inks, Abandoned coral, Tattered rose and Squeezed lemonade. I then looked at my paper pads and found a lovely one with similar colors from Graphic 45 - they have these lovely paper pads with so many useful bits and pieces - very easy to make a card! </span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-size: 15px;"><span style="color: #e06666; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here is the result of my efforts...</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-size: 15px;"><span style="color: #e06666; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>

<br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-size: 15px;"><span style="color: #e06666; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It is a Valentines Day card - a collage but I am quite happy with it - my first make of the year! I have birthdays coming up soon so there will be more to see but this is all that is on my desk for today!</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-size: 15px;"><span style="color: #e06666; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I am sure you all have lots to show so I will now go and have a look at your desks....</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-size: 15px;"><span style="color: #e06666; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Have a lovely week and enjoy crafting!</span></span><br />

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2019!!!!<span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Good morning my bloggy friends!</span><br />
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I am a day late but it is sort of still the festive season! So first</span><br />
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">HAPPY NEW YEAR 2019!</span><br />
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I wish you all health, happiness and may you prosper and may all your wishes for this new year come true!</span><br />
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Next a big congratulations to Julia on the <span style="font-size: large;">500 WOYWW</span>: What an amazing achievement! Julia you have really done a lovely job and the wonderful friendship we have all gained from this is priceless! I am really thankful to have been part of this and I hope I will be in the future!</span><br />
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> I haven't been blogging much all this year! Mostly as I am still struggling with my knees and trying to loose weight and it takes all my energy! I have lost 10 kg which is about 20 pounds but it is not enough. It is so easy to put weight on but a terrible struggle to get it off! I will not complain I have to do this, get this operation and move forward! </span><br />
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Regarding blogging I am hoping to get back to it more regularly in 2019. Also try to not just blog on Wednesdays for WOYWW but also more often on other days and try to talk about other things! I will see how it goes! I have the ideas in my head and hopefully it will happen!</span><br />
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Now my desk is festive - I am at home in Slovenia at the moment and after a big rush up to Christmas to get all the cards out, there are just remnants of all the work done but nothing I can really show - I did make about 80 cards - they were all different!

<span style="color: magenta; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: magenta; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I haven't been blogging much this year! Actually I just looked and I have posted twice! I am not giving up blogging it is just at the moment I am struggling with constant pain and just can't do much! </span><br />
<span style="color: magenta; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I do look at your blogs sometimes but I don't really engage! Still I am hoping to have my operation soon! I am trying to lose weight but it is a struggle! I have been swimming and dieting but it is a slow process! Anyway I was going to come to the crop ! So about 2 weeks ago I said to my Alan</span><br />
<span style="color: magenta; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> " Have a look for hotel in Llandudno !" </span><br />
<span style="color: magenta; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">" When is the crop then ?" he says.</span><br />
<span style="color: magenta; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">"Sometime end of September begin of October I think - let me check!"</span><br />
<span style="color: magenta; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And then the shock! It was 8th of September!!!! We are still in Slovenia and will be almost till the end of September as I am waiting for news on my operation!</span><br />
<span style="color: magenta; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So sad! I think this is the first time I will not be able to come to the crop! And to be honest it is one of the highlights of my crafty year! I have actually been making these ATCs for the crop - I even ventured into making quilted ones - and have been very proud to be so brave!</span><br />
<span style="color: magenta; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: magenta; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here is the set of the paper ones I made....</span><br />

<span style="color: magenta; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have a lot of the new Distress Oxide inks - I love them - I think they are wonderful - and I love that you can stamp with them! </span><br />

YIPEEE!!!<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My dear bloggy WOYWW friends!</span><br />
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I am sorry I haven't been around this year! Yes my only blog post was on the 3rd of January! I have been struggling with a lot of pain - my knees are really bad - there is no cartilage so it is bone on bone and I have been rejected for the operation because of my BMI. So now I am going swimming every morning and trying to get that weight down so I can have the operation! Blogging was something that was hard for me to do but I think I might get up to it again! Still I have never stopped crafting! I make cards and all sorts of other things and that is a big joy in my life! </span><br />
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It is the 9th WOYWW anniversary today! I haven't been posting on WOYWW from the beginning but my first post was on the 24th February 2010 so I have been around for quite a while! I have been to almost all the WOYWW crops and have met lovely people and now have very good friends thanks to <a href="http://stamping-ground.blogspot.si/">Julia's WOYWW</a>! Thank you Julia for starting this amazing thing! I must mention that because of being part of WOYWW my crafting has evolved and got better and better - I now have no fear of trying anything crafty!</span><br />
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I will show a few of the things I have made recently and yes I will be sending ATCs to anybody who wants one as I have made lots of them !</span><br />
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have made an art book for my friend Donna for her birthday - it came a bit late but she did recieve and I can show a few photos....</span><br />

Naaaa<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Good morning lovely bloggy friends!</span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Long time no see! Yes I have been away from blogging for a long time! No point in apologizing but sometimes (to be honest all year really) I need a break from things and this seemed to have been my break year! Too much stuff went on and I just couldn't deal with regularly writing a blog. Now should I start with new year resolutions? Nooo because I never stick to them! But lets say at the moment I have some inner determination that I will be blogging more often. Also showing my work so that maybe someone can benefit from it or I will benefit from criticism. Either way it might be good!</span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I am waiting for a knee operation which might throw a spanner in the works for a few weeks but I hope to be able to even blog about getting over that! Huh! </span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So after that long introduction let me first say....</span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!</span><br />

<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have been away for a long time! I didn't even blog about the amazing crop we had in Wales. But I can tell you it was really a good one and I think all the ladies had a fantastic time - for me it was wonderful and also the first time I have been to Wales! I have since been busy with things and at the moment I am in Slovenia waiting to meet the surgeon which will perform operations on my knees - yes not just one but both knees will be replaced with new ones and hopefully after a certain time all this pain I am living with will finally be gone!</span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have been to a garden center recently and had a picture of me taken in front of this lovely Christmas display...</span><br />

<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">On the crafty side I have been making cards and also a few other things!</span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I joined a women's club recently in our village and it is quite a fun club - it is called National association of women's clubs - NAWC and I have been welcomed in the club and am trying to participate in all the activities. The first thing I noticed was that their name tags were quite dull so I thought I can use my crafty skills and make new ones for everybody and here they are....</span><br />

YIPEEEE!<span style="color: #a64d79;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Hello dear bloggy friends!</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #a64d79;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #a64d79;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I have traveled over all of Europe over the last week or so! I am now back in England and so busy with various things I wonder wouldn't it be better to just have stayed at home! 😉 But here I am and well it is Wednesday and time for the big gathering at the <a href="http://stamping-ground.blogspot.co.uk/">Stamping Ground </a>where Julia is the queen of the snooping crowd! And let me tell you this snooping crowd is meeting this weekend in Wales in Llandudno courtesy of Margaret at <a href="http://www.artycraftystuff.co.uk/blog.html">Glitterandglue!</a> Oh I am sooo looking forward to it! Yippeee!!</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #a64d79;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Enough of all that excitement lets get up to the snooping business! This week my desk, actually my whole craft room is in such a mess - it is not just me doing stuff on the desk, but it is stuff I brought from home all on the desk on the floor, wherever there is space...have a look!</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #a64d79;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">As you can see there is stuff everywhere - behind the chair is my brand new Janome Skyline 3 sewing machine !

Huh!</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #a64d79;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I will show you just 2 of my atcs as they should be a surprise for the ladies attending the crop....</span></span><br />

<br />
I have been away for such a long time ! I looked when I last posted and it was 3 months ago! I couldn't believe it! I must admit I have had a very busy year - well summer but when I look back it seems I haven't done much! I am in Slovenia at the moment but I will soon be traveling back to England!<br />
I don't want to bore you with all the details but I have done some improvements to my flat here, I had visitors from England ( my DBFs children and grandchildren) for which I had to prepare and then we took them all around Slovenia with a couch! It was all on me to organize it! I also stayed with my mom for a week , met up with lots of friends and time just flies - 2 months went so fast!<br />
On the crafty side of things I have made a few cards and journal pages which I will show, but first lets have a look at my desk! - I have a new computer so there is a bit of a change...the computer now sits on top of my desk - before it was under the desk....<br />

This is something different for me - I made a page with pictures of women - no I didn't draw them - I am not that good but I bought a fabric that had these faces on it and this page just came to my mind! I did a lot to the background but you can't see much of it . Because the pictures are on fabric they give some nice texture to the page!<br />

So that was all my summer crafting - well there was more cards but I forgot to take photos of them! Huh! How many times does that happen? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Anyway I will be back in England soon and I am looking forward to the WOYWW Wales crop! We have booked Warners in a place a can not pronounce and I just can't wait to see all my lovely WOYWW crafty friends!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Love and hugs to all of you,</div>
