It's #691

Good Morning, it's 2 a.m. here once again, too warm to sleep, the air hasn't kicked in as the ceiling fan is running near the thermostat. My only diagnosis so early in the day. Not liking this habit of 2 a m. except on Wednesday !!  

I took a before and after photo of my desk: (it's the day Ms Julia hosts our gathering.)  here's before, and  here I'm upset with yet another T.H. 3D embossing folder and I read the next step in using it Again.  Image is not deep to even use. 

after I unpacked my Hobby Lobby bag !  It was all on close out except 3/4 items. I spent most of the day in our 40 mile away city, just for me. Had a great Taco John's, grilled stuffed taco, never minding the increase in $$$, will it ever end?  

I was excited about the big buttons, I've a couple projects planned, someday I'll share !   Even have dying plans for the crumbled paper.

Hope all is great your way, our weather has been so nice here, and fall is on it's way. Garden is pretty much done and hopefully all repairs are finished for my hubby to be ready for field work in a few more weeks. 

Oh Bailey is up also, was in his hideaway but quickly jumped on top of "His favorite place to observe"  

Thanks for your visits last week, I'll try to do better this week. Kids here went back to school last week and sporting events start this Friday. Along with College football this weekend, one of my favorite sports. ENJOY

Welcome, it' been a whirlwind. But today is the day we share our desks, MS Julia HERE has all the details if you are new to this group. But I'll warn you it is addicting.

Two weeks ago, I shared the little white wood basket with pink items, here's a close up of those fun things inside.  

Here's my desk 

wanted to work with stencils and backgrounds but was called away.

These were last weeks projects finally completed. Rolodex cards with Pink theme. I share on Instagram mostly, it seems quicker and easier than the blog. 

I hope you are all doing well.  We are,  spent our 17th Wedding Anniversary on a little trip to the far Western corner of Iowa to visit a new Casino.  We needed a break, kids were on vacation and hubby will soon be in the field.  We've had a funeral last week of a friend (67) and word that a 2nd cousin (40) died of a heart attack that funeral is this week. Kind of why I've scheduled this post. 

Weather has settled down a bit, still humid, but our air conditioning takes care of that. Just a lot of bad hair days !!! when outdoors.   Just know also that I continue to pray for Ukraine and all of Europe, the news never seems too great.  Oil/Gas, big bucks $$   food $$ $/shortages of common items here.

Welcome: It's the day we share what's on our desks. I've linked up with Ms. Julia @ Stamping Ground our hostess.  Join in if you like.

Well it's been busy around here. Trying to organize more 'stuff'  here are 

2 sweet things I found hiding under my table of sewing machines.

A little wooden sewing box I filled sometime ago to do a Pink Project, and now I don't even know what it was.

And the jar of beautiful colored threads/string.  I have already used a couple of colors on some tags I was making.

The inside divider from liquor bottles, sitting for free at our grocery store. I am making tags from it. A project for muscle cutting. The edges are really uneven, but patience won.  

A doodled flower and prompts from a challenge on Instagram, really found some inspiring things there.  

We were so thankful for a 3.5 inch rainfall Sat/Sun. Things are really greening up and  flowering out. Cooled down somewhat so has been nice with no wind to open the windows. 

I hope you are all doing well, and enjoying all the things you love. Hoping to see the grandkids soon, school will be starting up about the 23rd. Summer came and went quickly. But I love fall weather so I'm ready.
