Welcome, so glad you stopped by, we are sharing our Wednesday desks.  Ms Julia has all the info 
HERE  
My new sink, and commode   I might paint the walls a soft gray eventually. Just happy to have this done.
Work Space...it's why we're here   We had RAIN. So I had time to create a few odd things.
This is what I created from all the mess below.. Clusters, they need to be glued/sewn together 
Then I put together 3 master boards.  Not exactly sure about this one 
The top one will be for ATC's / 3x3 cards  and the bottom one for post cards 
Here are a few book pages with napkin applied.....some little pockets still in the works 
Now this won't let me post any more....never knew there was a limit.  Thanks for visiting and Thanks for all the great comments last week.  Enjoy a great week

Good Morning !    It's almost the stroke of midnight here, running behind my bedtime !  It's the day we share our workspaces and I'm linking up with Ms Julia once again HERE AND OMGoodness !!! IT IS RAINING.  We need it soooooooooooooo bad. 

It's all desks today.  

I was Working outside on the patio with tea bags.  Just a beautiful day. No wind, bugs or humidity  73 
Then I sort of sorted them out. Want to make a tiny journal another day
But I managed to stamp a few for making some small layered clusters for adding here and there.
One goal is to use stamps I've not touched for a long time. And I'm kind of into "Tiny" these days. 

May you all have a beautiful week and Enjoy all things that you love to do.

 Welcome friends.   I am scheduling this for our Wednesday desk sharing. I might be gone and I might have the last day of 2 working on finishing up the bathroom.  WHAT a PROCESS.  I can make no plans.

It is very hot here, into the 3rd week with no rain and temps in the high 90's.  Crops will not be good if rain isn't falling soon.  Saturday we had a 3 hr drive to my grandson's graduation party. My sister and husband rode with us. WHAT A PERFECT DAY. So many old friends attended, that I haven't seen since I moved away.  My Son and DIL  did an amazing job with food, decorating and planning. Doesn't seem possible he will be leaving for college in a few months.  

Then things kind of turned into a rough week, a funeral for a friend's husband,  my Military son and family had issues with the plane to leave for Germany Sunday out of Baltimore.   Engine light...unloaded, reload No Air Conditioning. unloaded. reloaded hours late into the night and a 6 hour flight to Germany.  They are safe, had no quarantine restrictions, papers in order, but their house was not available. Mix up in tenants / oversee man so until the 28th they have a temporary place ,  Their car and furniture are on a ship. So who knows when .  

I really did have some time to work on re arranging my crafty place and I am happy with it. Hope to do a video in a week or so.  

Turned the table to line up with the other and cleared out underneath.  
The only sort through left.....but it's manageable. It's the desk I collage, and use paints on
My stamping and card making area.  DONE.  I just want some time to play !

Linking up with Julia at the  STAMPING GROUND    Have a great week.

 Welcome,   so glad you stopped by:

Again, so sorry,  I've no desk to share.  There is no path to any of my work spaces.  I've cleaned out the storage area and have a BIG mess.  The time has flown by with all the rearranging.  

This piece has been in our garage for 2 years.  It is VERY heavy and would not fit on any wall in our home, due to heat vents, light switches, thermostats, etc.  So I decided it needed to go to the basement and I would store my fabric and crafty items in it   Well I found 2 young strong men to move this and 4 other pieces. Thank goodness for strong, willing young men. 

This piece is also VERY heavy it has an unattached piece of Black Steel for it's top. It has been in our laundry room for many years, not giving me much storage.  So it now resides next to the cubbie. I haven't had time to fill either of these as yet but hope fully by next week the whole area will be again orderly and livable.  The young men's comments "this stuff is REAL HARD WOOD"  it's old. 

 This is a two piece "old" hutch which sat where the cubbie is now  it is now just off the kitchen across from our small pantry
And this piece was my mother's, has been in our basement storage area 8 years, (Wow where has time gone) now next to the hutch across from our washer and dryer.   I am so glad I made the change.  More space in our garage, which we have sorted and hopefully tomorrow some will be sold to a group of gals adding to their shop.

I have great storage for many kitchen items I could not reach in our kitchen cabinets due to height and my short shrinking body.  And A place to display my Raggedy Ann & Andy items.  

This little make shift guest area is full of material and things to abandon.
And now you can see why I've no path to my work tables. !!!!! My desks are 8 ft beyond this mess.
That's my tour for this week!!   
This lovely photo has items from Angela/Felix the Cat Blog  and her ATC.  Thanks Angela your ATC is amazing and I love the  substitute post card  of the Cathedral.

Thanks for stopping by,  it's hot here  a week of 95 degree weather days, could only work in our garage early in the mornings at 73 degrees.  Hubby is busy Watering garden/grass/flowers, and we are thankful for air conditioning.   Have a wonderful week   and Thanks for the great comments from last week.

Welcome,  what a delightful day weather wise.  Forecast similar all week.  Was outside most of the day, walking, weeding, and enjoy deck time.  More HAPPY MAIL arrived today.  Each envelope contained a lot of love and beautiful creations.  I thank you so much.

We haven't been home, I haven't been at my desk,
I met 2 classmates for lunch from Des Moines area and  Jolene blessed me with a Rose bush in honor of my Mother,  It's had 4 beautiful roses.  Lunch was great with that added piece of homemade pie. 

Then we were off the the City to attend my Grandson's High School Graduation. I was so thankful our State has opened up attendance in full force.  Or like most all their other events we would have been live streaming. The Presidential Award  not pictured,  This award recognizes students that show outstanding educational growth, improvement, commitment or intellectual development in their academic subjects but do not meet the criteria for the Educational Excellence Award. Awards night for academics was lived streamed and he had METAL, about 13 trips across that stage  for Academic's and the National Honor Society.     

 Here we are with him in his Cap and Gown.  

So Proud of this young man....Off to Iowa State in the fall  Majoring in Engineering  His award here was The schools J HAWK  for 3 years of Swimming, Cross County Track and Track & Field. 
Well it's the middle of the night and I am ready for good Dreams.  Linking up with Ms Julia at 

May you all have a wonderful week and Enjoy all that comes your way.
