WOYWW #473

Welcome, so happy to be able to post today. It's our day of sharing of the creative spaces. Ms Julia at the STAMPING GROUND is our hostess:  I have had some creative time. BUT once again I was lucky to be able to post these photos. Some are totally lost on this Windows 10 no doubt here but it took me 2 hours to find these.  Downloaded from my phone...and One Drive is Full so there were here there and everywhere. 

My Desk:
I was working with tea bags, dried them, carefully took them apart and gave the tea to the garden. I've saved these for awhile. Hoping to add stamping to them and use in a few projects. 

 We have had a mess here; Since last week no doubt over 10 inches of rain. This came on Wednesday night. We drove out to his fields. He has rain gauges on each property. They all were about the same over 5 inches.  And it has rained more each day up until Tuesday. 

  This was on our way to a smaller town and several roads were closed for us to get there.   These 2 photos are fields of corn that was about knee high.  I doubt that this field will produce.

 

Tuesday we had humidity and sunshine and some ponds are draining to the streams/rivers causing dangerous flooding in many places. But we are blessed. We never lost electricity, there was not much wind. Nor did we have flooding in our basement.  Many in town had 3 feet and lost furnaces./air conditioning/ washer/dryers,carpet and all contents at that level. Some towns have a no water usage, as it has been contaminated, so water has been brought in. 

I must go, we have someone here to install a new water heater.  Thank You for stopping by

Welcome to our Wednesday's sharing of the desks...Julia at the Stamping Ground
has all the info on linking up and visiting others who share by way of Mr. Linky.

My desk

 Making some Birthday cards for a friends shop and seems like a long process.
some days it's not what the mind is ready for. 

Some of my free time this week I was happy making some master boards, using various papers and inks.  (gesso, acrylics, oxides) And playing with a new Gelli plate.   I did  stamp new and unused stamps to plain paper for future use and have misplaced them...Imagine that.

Weather here has been windy, wet and wonky.  Completely different 3 miles away. Weird colors and lots of fog. So inside I've stayed and I am making myself sort stuff throughout this house. A box a day.  So today we took 5 boxes to the drop off donation place. I am pretending I am moving !!!!! ... by way of a small truck.  The good thing was my husband helped load and  took me out for some Summer Shanty and a tenderloin.  He's glad to see it go. 

Thanks for stopping by, enjoy a lovely weekend.

Good Morning, and outside that's what it is. After storms and near by towns flooded over a 3 day period of rain, we now have decent temperatures, sunshine and no wind...A little bit of heaven.

But here at the Windows 10 ....2 hrs of a mess trying to find photos.  Reloaded twice. then automation took over to decide to BACK UP the System.. It has been set to do this at 2 A.M.  so I went to my laptop..same issue..  I shut everything off, unplugged the router and now found the 3 photos I just downloaded in a file labeled 2007-05.    All seems very ODD to me

I was trying to play along with our What's on your work desk Wednesday, hosted by Julia on her blog here  at STAMPING GROUND  It's where to visit on Wednesday.

....here's the desk:

 I made a few covers for some small journals..played with making a signature, and gathered all my small flower stamps. Thinking one theme will be flowers  and another little journal with  birds. Will watch a few more You Tubes on preparing the pages... 2 tea bags front and center.

Which drew me to photo the table beside my desk. The beige old box on top of the 3 drawer file holds papers from tea bags I dried and took apart.   other little goodies were garage sale items at 50 cents each. Couldn't resist  4 older aged books, a little wooden 3 drawer shelf (hope to repaint) and three wooden spool like things I might wrap lace around.

Hoping you all have a wonderful day, thanks for visiting.  I'm off to enjoy breakfast with my hubby. Monday it was 15 years ago we met at our local Pub, while I was waiting for a take out chicken supper.  So thankful for his support and patience this past year. 

ATC's for Swap

 Welcome, such a beautiful afternoon.  Thought I'd share the ATC's I sent off for our WOYWW
 9th Anniversary exchange. 

Thanks for stopping by.

Welcome,  so happy to partake this week. Just seems Wednesday always arrives so quickly.  I missed the big ATC posts, but will catch up this week.  I was watching grandkids in Cedar Rapids, about a 3 hr drive, while their parents were away. IT's the day we share our desks and you can visit Here.  Can anyone help me with this notice ????

Think I am getting too old for all the updates Google/ Microsoft want me to use. 

These are the ones I have received as of today's mail.   

I have received the sweetest ATC's

 From Annie/Wipso  and Jo/Twiglet

 From Jan/ Lunch Lady Jan

From Shaz

Just received and had issues with transferring to Photos so don't have one alone. From Lindart  the ATC exchange I was her next person, The 2 little girls in orange  are the ATC card...and I liked the idea of coloring...never gave it a thought.

THANK YOU to ALL   I will truly enjoy and treasure each one.  Loving the friendship and inspiration I receive from all of You.

The one of my desk was too blurry to show...I get so disgusted with Windows Ten Photo Display ONE DRIVE IS FULL....so who cares I didn't want to use it anyway.
Why can't they just let stuff alone ?  Another project to get straightened out. Geez.

Have a wonderful week
