WOYWW #150

It's #150 ...a Milestone at  Ms. Julia's  STAMPING GROUND. The peeping about of workspaces and other sharable projects. Hop on over to Julia's blogspot and see what we are all excited about.

Variety is what I'd call it...white dominoes, flexible wire creation (makes many designs), Strawberry Shortcake Doll, black heart holder, steel dice and jax, paper scraps,  metal heart cookie cutters. Many ideas running thru my head and HIGH HOPES to get some creative juices flowing once again.


My "Floor"...a bag full of odds and ends for 50 cents at a great "THRIFT SHOP" my son took me too on base.  He then left me there for an hour while he went to Walmart... I had a ball...sooooooooo many quarter items, and great little treasures to stow away... He knows how I love a bargain. And when he loaded my 5 bags full .. he said 'I'm sure glad you don't have to go thru customs!!"



I had a most Wonderful Weekend visiting  in Kansas despite all the storms. Baptism of little Summer Rose (above in her little dress) and 2nd birthday of  Sky Lynn.(below)


 My military son's 2 daughters.  Their mother was non stop in cooking wonderful food for the BIG celebration. Unfortunately, my pictures did not turn out, so will have to copy and paste from some of the friends visiting. I was so disappointed. Haven't figured out the problem yet...my flash and batteries were always working. But modern tech baffles me..
Thanks to all you left such great encouraging comments last week, it was a stressful week and you made my day a little brighter.
Thanks for stopping by, hope to visit most of you this time around. Happy WOYWW and enjoy your week.

Awesome desk photos. I love going thrift shopping and garage saling to find all sorts of goodies. I love the pics of the grandbabies! The storms have been bad here this past week. We had a tornado here in Norman that was rated and F1 that stopped just about a block from our house thank God! We just had a new roof put on 6 months ago and I don't want it damaged! Have a great week sorting through your stuff! Vickie @32

A thrift shop and 5 bags - worth the trip all on its own! So glad you had such a good weekend, these two pictures are lovely...in fact, the balloons picture is a real charmer...could almost accuse you of making her wear that dress to match the balloons! Well, I hoe you've found your mojo now, your desk sure looks as if you're gearing up for a session! Love that heart wire holder.
