WOYWW #295

Oh the fun of Julia's blog STAMPING GROUND  it connects all of us throughout the world the fun of sharing our workspaces.  There is a BIG variety of what we all do. Join in, just visit, whatever.... she has all the details posted.

My desk:
To the left jars of buttons and containers of ribbon
I've spent sometime working there, but finished up the ATC's for a swap and have them ready to mail. Will post photos as time gets nearer for the swap. So still have Valentines to make.

Since Saturday, I have been "SPRING CLEANING"  I know not quite spring, though it is 45 degrees here, but I am entertaining tonight and started with dusting,whoa that lead to cleaning the china hutch, windows, cleaning fans,  putting up Valentine decor, making egg rolls, a new Iowa product for dessert. 
Toffee Choco-Latte Beer Cake.

Thanks for stopping by, I'll be around to visit this week. So sorry about not being there previous weeks.  The past 2 wks,we've been in and out. The weather is nice so we can travel a bit.  We visited my son and family as the grandkids had swimming competition and basketball tournaments.  
He won big at the Casino going and I won really big Friday night...had to fill out a form for taxes. Was a fun trip.

Love all your storage jars. I've been doing a bit of a spring clean myself- reorganized one whole room and now must throw stuff out!!! If I keep saying it maybe it will happen!

And the cake sounds interesting...I can't tell whether I'd like it or not! Good work with the spring cleaning, I'd better get myself into gear and join you!

My word, Sylvia - what a packed week. Fancy any more cleaning?? I did actually dust our living room yesterday as we expected visitors last evening and the room was covered in plaster dust from the bathroom works - but then our visitors had to cancel... Oh well, it looks good for us to enjoy!
Take care. God bless.

Your area is so neat and organized. Everything looks "handy". Your jars are not only great for your organization, but pretty with all the colors in them. Happy WO'y'WW! #36

I love all your organizing! Great way to store ribbon for sure and I love that you have it all neat and ready to go. I have a painting project that I'm trying to get ready for.

Julia Dunnit said...

Wow, when you have to fill out a form..that's a lovely win, well done! How fun.
You ended up doing a heap of work in the one day as one job inevitably leads to another. Bet your guests will really appreciate the valentine decor and the egg rolls and Toffee Choco latte Beer cake. Of course, we need to know about that!

Your cake sounds really weird, but I'll guess it's delicious! Hope it's fast to make so you have time for those Valentines... Enjoy your guests and the clean room :)

I always enjoy seeing your punches. They are slowly losing out to dies but punches are still very convenient! I had to laugh at your cleaning spree and how one thing lead to another. I got my new vacuum last week and once I started using it I realized just how bad my old one had gotten. So I vacuumed everything--floors, under furniture, the furniture itself, the floors, you name it. One thing just lead to another.... Have fun playing! Judy # 64
