"TRUE LOVE" ATC SWAP

Oh the lovely Kimberly at ArtJoyStuff organized another of her lovely swaps. This one was for Valentine's Day. And I can't wait until the mail lady delivers my grouping.  I am like a lttle kid in a candy store, when I receive my ATC's.  Have never been disappointed in any I've received.

I created my ATC's from this old photo album.REPURPOSING !~.the paper on top of the ATC was the inside cover, I removed the spring binding and ran a red organza ribbon through the holes on the left side.  Added a prim heart and layered up a flower.

 I noticed I must have took the photos before I added the little red banner on the heart saying True Love.

At least I did the photo's......I made two unusal birthday cards this week and in my hurry scurry way forgot to photograph them before I sent them off.

 Reverse side gives the ATC info "True Love" etc.

Thanks for stopping by.

It's almost Wednesday, that means Ms Julia at STAMPING GROUND has the day set aside for anyone to share their workspace.  She's got the info on her blog and it's something fun and interesting.

My desk is all about hearts, click on the picture if you want a closer view:

 I've tidyed up a bit, have yet to make family Valentines, but got most others delivered to a fun little shop.
The 3 little decorated match boxes were an ebay purchase. I've tried and never won a bid on previous ones. But so happy I got the Valentine grouping this time.

This little table was moved to the left of my desk in my reorganizing.....and so handy to have my scor-pal, etc so close. The little green chest contains items for making the ATC'S  swaps (Artist Trading Cards) I enjoy participating in.  Will post them in a day or two. The theme "True Love"..

Weather update:  we should be above ZERO today..will seem like SPRING.   Sunday most roads were closed and No school on Monday.  Winds 50mph or more, snow, and -20  not considering wind chill. It's been an unusual winter.

Have fun visiting WOYWW this week, and thanks for stopping by.

UPLIFTING my SPIRIT

Somedays, it's music that gets me "UPLIFTED"     I enjoy Josh Groban





Hope your day has been good.  We will be above zero tomorrow and it will seem like spring. Maybe that will help too.

For me An EARLY morning Welcome.

Oh it's Wednesday already and Julia has many who participate in What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday
She has all the details here:  STAMPING GROUND

I spent the best part of 3 days once again redoing my crafty space. I moved the big table here to the opposite side of the room.  Topped it with the big old bench that took up too much space by our bar and tv. I thing it makes a nice added space for "STUFF"...of which was mostly on the floor or crammed someplace.

 And these 2 tables were moved over to where the big old heavy table was.  Mostly for lighting purposes and so I could better access the punches on this wall. My short legs and arms could never reach across the big table to use these with out standing on an insecure little stool.   Much better arrangement.

I also sorted items to make space for some lace and fabric and will donate it next trip to our thrift shop.

It's been a hectic week already, bad weather  (-Temps, wind, snow and blizzard conditions) I did venture out to deliver my cards to our little antique shop earlier today. A slow safe drive on some icy roads.
 Then started on some kids cards. It's been a while since I stamped and colored images. But I need more cards that are mailable. And thanks to Glenda for some tips on ink, that won't bleed while using Copics and ideas on paper stock. Any one have a recipe for patience?

Here's hoping things are well your way, and that our lost sunshine is visiting your area. Have a fun week and thanks for stopping by.

One Pair Of Hands By Elvis Presley (LOST SONG)

 I came across this beautiful song by Elvis. Sometimes we have to stop and realize how much we take for granted. It's a cold snowy day here and I am thankful for being inside my nice warm home.

Blessing to you and yours.

Happy Day to You,   gosh didn't realize I haven't posted anything since last week.
But each Wednesday so many of us enjoy posting to Julia's blog the STAMPING GROUND so we can browse about each others desks and activities.  Hop on over, Julia has all the details.

 These are side by side, I usually work at the top one, but for this past week, it has been equal time at both.
I just don't know how I can create such a mess in such a short time. I should've taken a picture of the floor!!
Lots of stuff there too.

Trying to get Valentines done to take to a shop and also birthday cards on the bottom desk.  With our 50mph winds it is nice to be inside and downstairs for the peace and quiet. Temps are in the 20's and we have no snow so it's not so bad.  And I spent some time putting away most of Christmas and organizing the storage area.  My husband will be so happy !!

We have a funeral on Thursday, and Visitation tonight, for a man who has been my hubby's landlord on part of the farmland he has  farmed for many years.  He has been in a nursing home with different problems, but his death was not expected.

Thanks for stopping by, enjoy WOYWW

WOYWW #240

Hello dear blogging friends,

Here it is Wednesday again, the day we share What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday. Julia at the STAMPING GROUND  has all the fun information if you are new to the energizing day.

My desk shows signs of Valentine creativity. Have an ATC swap to be mailed by the 18th so thought I better put it in 1st gear and get started.  Plus many cards, tags and little mailable gifts for the grandkids, for this day also.

Iowa is having a heat wave forcast for the rest of the week. Was 24 today and seemed like summer. We had one night of a MINUS 47 with the wind chill, schools were cancelled and most everything was closed on Monday.  We were very fortunate to have missed the snow, the 4 inches of fluffy, blew away with the horrible winds. So I think we are back to a normal winter.   Just way to long of time yet to pass on by.

Short and sweet, it's late Tuesday PM, as Wednesday is a full schedule of things to do via the car. Thanks for stopping by, enjoy WOYWW visits and enjoy some creative time.
