ATC Swap "Parisian Beauty"

Thanks for stopping by.  Sometime ago we did the ATC Swap with Kim at  ArtJoyStuff.  We had problems with the mail and some things were delayed. Then when mine arrived I sent a blog Thank You to Kim and the gals I received my ATC from.. Thinking back when I went to photo these my camera had no working batteries and I put it all aside.

With trips to see our grandchildren play their final basketball games and the State Swim meet, several funerals, I just plain forgot. While reviewing posts on my blog I could not find where I ever posted these. SO  here are the lovely ATC's I received:

                            on the left is from Maggie   on the right is from Sherry

This unique ATC is from Susanne and I apologize for the photo. I retook it but now my computer has issues with unable to update...Windows 8 is a pain. I will try in the am to replace this one with a better photo.

This is a special little party favor from our lovely hostess Kim. 

Thanks so much Kimberly for hosting such a fun swap.

Computer/photo works much better today. But this is so unique.

Hi my dear blogging friends:

It's Wednesday time to share our workspace, new to this stop over to Julia's blog STAMPING GROUND to get all the info for you to view our new photos or partake in a fun adventure around the world.

You can click the photo to enlarge and get a good look.  Preparing for another ATC exchange.
This looks fairly organized compared to all of it's surroundings. It will take me a full day to restore this area. I had a dream of redoing this area, but no I cannot. I need to DOWNSIZE. I've no where to expand. I cannot even go UPWARD. So wish me luck.

It has been a dark and gloomy afternoon...raining, temps dropping. Snow and Ice in the forecast with declining temps for the next few days. So cold today 32 compared to our past 2 weeks. But gives me time to accomplish some more photo organizing.

Thanks for the visit. I always appreciate and love to read your comments. Have a wonderful WOYWW  kind of day.

WOYWW #303 ? or 302 ?

It's Wednesday and time for What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday...a weekly showing of our workspaces. Julia at the STAMPING GROUND started this a few years back and she has all the details of visiting and partaking on her blog.

I've missed a few weeks not by choice, but by lack of time. Several funerals again, sorting closets to get out the spring things and put away winter. Each year I hate it more. I've stacks here and there. Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter.  Don't fit, donate, ah maybe if I lose weight, don't like, sweat shirts, tee shirts, sweaters, vests, dress clothes, casual clothes and what I wear around daily. With one closet it's a cram and store thing, and I am about done doing it. Don't know the solution but it's causing me havoc. For one thing I am too short to reach the shelves and the room is too small to add any more chests for storage.  Just pitch it and start over.

This was taken last week as I finished up my ATC's  then I left to spend time with grandkids, watching their final season basketball games and grandson's qualifying State Swim Meet.

ATC theme was Fairy Gardens.  but the lighting was bad and photos are not so good, but you get the jest of it I guess.

Hopefully this week I can finish up a few ideas I have for birthdays coming up.
Thanks for stopping by. Wishing you good health, great weather and creative time.

Saint Patrick's Day

By no means IRISH, but love a good celebration and all that the Irish have brought to our country.

I loved this little verse,

Lovely Day here for a Parade !    Enjoy the wearing of the green, corned beef and cabbage,  soda bread, and a little green Libation !  

WOYWW #300

Welcome WOYWW friends.  Our weekly session of fun with friends from all over the world. Thanks to Julia of the Stamping Ground who created this. If you are new she has all the info on her blog.

Had to miss last week, LIFE in Real form just gets in the way sometimes. After my post on Lace, and and February ATC cards, I really hadn't had time to be very creative.

My desk this week has the start of March ATC cards  They are selectively covered up as to not spoil the surprise. A lot of gluing yet to do.  A birthday card for my grandson turning 12 about to be put together with a Lego theme. That needs to be completed by Friday. Hoping to visit, as he will be competing in a State Swim meet. And our weather is to turn nice. 40 degrees will seem like Heaven.

Thanks for stopping by, have a fun WOYWW visit here and there. And enjoy the week.
