OH I've had stress this Morning !  But manages to get to this sight.  It's desk sharing day, and HERE'S WHERE it BEGINS

MY desk

 My order to Ranger for  ARCHVAL  Re inkers finally arrived.  

I've used a thick glass shelf to apply my ink to,  when not in use I cover it with insides of CD cases, add a drop of alcohol up on returning and ready to use again.  I cover it so our cat doesn't get into it.  

Some of my final product.  I am also waiting for a delivery of Paper Canvas to work with on this project.  I used watercolor paper as it did not arrive in time for the video class.

I belong to a group on Facebook  INK STAMP & MAKE ART with WENDY VECCHI  and class can be reached thru Etsy  under WendyVecchiMarkArt  

Doodle, Ink, Cut and Create LIVE CLASS .. REPLAY 3+ hours of doodle  also Doodle, Ink, Cut & Create Class 4

She offered a class on "DOODLES"  making flowers/leaves, using re inkers  WAS very fun and the cards/projects being made are all so unique.  I am loving it.   Planning to make some Valentines using this method, IF I GET MY PAPER.   Our mail systems sucks.  5 to 10 days on deliveries and the cost almost doubled.  

Now off to find out why an UPDATE with  GOOGLE CHROME has been so difficult. Passwords for each visit and codes sent to my phone for verification...complete nonsense. ANY IDEAS I would be forever thankful.  Can't go out -20 and winds coming.

Welcome, it's a bright sunny morning here,  about 11 inches of snow on the ground and I am hoping the roadways will be cleared off.

I've so many ideas running thru this mind of mine,  spending 1/2 days putting away Christmas and getting out some Valentine items  I like the little lights crossing between kitchen is a narrow laundry/pantry area to family room. Have collection of Raggedy Ann's and the old crocheted pot holders.  

Missed last week as I took off  alone in an unexpected trip to spend time with family before the storm  We did Christmas, my college grandson and girl friend were there and the weather was beautiful 40's  It's a 3 hour drive, stopped to win some at the Casino, and the next day's return trip did a little shopping.  Such fun to be with them.

We are sharing our desks today Ms. Jan has Mr. Linky already for us to connect.  It's a trip around the world with great bloggers. HERE to PLAY ALONG 

I am preparing to take a class on Doodling  with Wendy Vecchi Friday so lining up some of my tools...WAITING for DELIVERY of more inks.  Trying to draw flowers !!! So Doodles will be much better !!!   Unpredictable shipping by most carriers here.  

Then my regular workspace I was sorting out, listing colors I have as we are using Re-inkers  and I don't have very many.  thus the order...I tried Ranger but couldn't even get on their sight as a customer, so sent an email on those issues and now waiting ~! 

Have a wonderful week, I'll be around later maybe even tomorrow, we might go for lunch and then the week turns to minus degrees and more snow?  So I'll be here !!!

Welcoming  in 2022 with our Wednesday post and sharing our desks.  All on the Link up of our great hostess Ms. Julia  HERE  While most of the USA is having weather issues of  minus degree temps, snow, ice and wind. We have missed all of it but the extreme cold.  But it's fun to bundle up!!

My desk!  

Working with a new Magic Mat...not as easy as the plastic with my Big Kick, Works well with all my other dies  but the Tim Holtz dies  then need a cardstock shim.   

My military son an family, took a train to visit Berlin over the New Year holidays. His idea is long weekends they will be touring the countries near by.  We took quite a few day bus tours when we visited on their last assignment 9 years ago. Hoping we can visit again, but flight delays/covid so much enters the picture in this crazy world we are living in now. My idea UK/Wales !!!   I miss seeing them so much, the girls are growing up so fast. They do love school and many adventures. 

My desk again:

I cleared a spot and unpacked a small bag of a big variety of TASSELS !  Wondering what my plan for these were, any ideas let me know.  Lots of sizes and variety of colors.   

Well he swept me away for a Chinese Lunch and some shopping and it was FANTASTIC, it's been so long since we've visited this place, a buffet, but they supplied plastic gloves to dish up your choices and lots of space between tables.  It was his shopping !!!  I stayed in the car and when I went in Target I could find nothing on my list.  He went to 4 stores for kitty liter and no one had ANY.  Picked up the last bag on the way home at a small grocery store.  

Thanks for all the fun visits last week and I hope to be around to visit, if we don't lose electricity. 
We are in the midst of a winter storm, winds up to 60 mpr already.  Fingers crossed it by passes us.
