WOYWW #360

Hello fellow deskers:  Today Julia at the STAMPING GROUND hosts our WOYWW  visits.
Want to join in the fun, just head over and she has posted the info and deskers involved.

My work area is a total mess.  We have been gone most of the week. On fun little jaunts. The best was "Junk Bonanza" in Mpls. Mn.  With the rainy weather my hubby had time and offered to go with me to the HUGE event.  It's about 2 1/2 hrs North to the cities.  We had a super fun time. I think Tim Holtz posted a grouping of photos of the event on his blog here  Tim Holtz Blog They kind of restrict the public from cameras. We spent about 3 1/2 hrs visiting all the displays. He loved all the ideas.

I purchased 2 of these from a fabric store going out of business while visiting my son and just got them unpacked.  Haven't had time to figure out where I will put these for storing items as of now.
They held "fat quarters" at the fabric shop. Maybe can work on that in a few minutes.

We are hoping weather predictions of being on the edge of severe storms remains true. So many states south and east are having hail, high winds, heavy rain and tornadoes. Most have lost electricity.  So we will not be going out for the next 2 days.

Thanks for stopping by, I will make my rounds today, Just wasn't available last week. I scheduled my post and  spent very little time on my home computer.  Truly loved your comments.

Have a great week.

Special Greetings to You....I'm back, hadn't planned on being gone so long.  But grandchildren had sports events and a half day off school, so I went to visit.  Hubby was in the field at home so did not need me to transport him here and there. Something special about time with grand kids ! Plus I got two mornings of shopping in the city and had fun with their nice weather.

Here it is warm 75 or so, but the terrible winds have been around for more than 10 days and you cannot be outside too long. Dust, dirt and grit. And branches or twigs everyday to pick up.

I've also spent sometime sorting and either getting ready for a garage sale in May or just taking it to a donation place.  I have had to make several cards, have lots of birthdays, a wedding and 2 retirement parties.

 I am in love with this little stitching book.  Cover is on the desk Crazy Quilt Stitches. Only 50 cents at a thrift shop.

 The makings of a Wedding card.

 This Ninja like paper doll has movable arms and legs and held some money within the card

 Ninja is his theme

He was happy with the inside, as these characters are his favorite.

So that about does it for today. Hoping I can post a few of the other cards later this week,
Julia at the STAMPING GROUND has all the info if you want to partake, either viewing others desk and sharing yours if you like.

Thanks for the visit and any comments you make. I always love reading them. Have a fantastic week.
