WOYWW #721

Welcome, it's 3 a m here and sleep isn't  happening, the next 2 days will be consumed quickly.  It's the day we share our desk and friendships 

My desk was changed a bit Monday, I moved the center supplies to each end and it gives me so much more easier workspace. funny how I've never thought of that !!  

Somewhat cleaned up, I spent Tuesday making Sympathy cards
For my husbands 2 sisters
For his brothers 5 grandchildren.  2 in Aqua for girls, 3 in gray for boys
For 2 nieces, 1 nephew

For our sister in law
She collects Angels so I made this from a odd shaped bottle. 

This is my husbands older brother, 72, who entered ER Thursday and died Saturday. The wake/viewing is tonight with funeral to be held tomorrow. 
Not expected so it's been a very saddened family time. 

Hug your loved ones and keep in contact, just no warning sometimes.
It's so cold here again High winds right now Rain forecast for tomorrow 
Thanks for being here. Widget's back !!

WOYWW #720

Welcome, glad to be back.  Using my laptop which is the only thing connecting to my computer.  I don't have any space left on my fav home computer...have done 100 plus things to delete but makes no difference.  a new one is due but prices have sky rocketed beyond belief.  I am using what I have for now.  

No sign of Spring, except warm temps 40's and snow has melted here. As week goes by a warm up and LOTS of Birds migrating. I can't wait.  

wanted to know if your mail service is better?   any theme for the May ATC's??  and to see Julia's blog HERE will take you to Mr. Linky

My desk this week is the top of our bar, remains of our family room downstairs
working on a Steampunk playing card for Full Deck Challange  

Here are 12  of the past weeks of my 3x3 inkbox cards I share on FB & Instagram for the Collage Art Collective 1 each day  theme for March is Mad as a March Hare.  
Some of you may have seen a photo on FB of my SURPRISE visit from my son in Germany. Showed up at church before Mass Saturday night March 4th..  I was stunned to turn around and have him video ing my reaction. My hubby knew about it. He spent the night and had to leave Sunday for DC meetings  But we worked fun times in and hated to see him go.  IT's been almost 5 years. 
May you all have a wonderful week
I am de stashing every room.   Just a crazy mess and my ribs seem ok but the left arm is now not wanting to reach up.  Using heat and ice and pain pills,  I think it's a pinched nerve. And signs of Covid all around. Fingers crossed we luck out. Happy WOYWW
 

Sylvia......don't know if my signature shows or not   I don't see the widget !

WOYWW 718

Surprise...I'm back, and I've missed the fun of visiting. Seems after my last post we were in and out so much/ 3 funerals, /no time to comment so was easier not to post as not much changed on the Desk !  HERE is where we share Mr. Linky with others, on Ms Julia's blog. 

This is the tiny space I've been using as too cold and bad lighting back in the area of my bigger desks. I need SPRING and calmer days. The wind, rain, snow, ice gloomy days just do my body in.  
Mainly just  partaking in a daily challenge of Ink box 3x3 cards, make 2/3 at a time, some collaging weekly by prompts all thru Collage Art Collective.  Feb, was hearts, My last one of the month was this background card stock, fussy cutting the flowers and adding a photo of the box of candy and the metal guy my hubby gifted me. He's always so thoughtful. This is a 3x3 card.
This month it's theme is  Mad as a March Hare: close up of the desk should show a few but here's 2


I was taken by SURPRISE Saturday, we go to Mass on Saturday night and  while waiting for it to start my husband told me to turn around. !!!! Odd? well my son from Germany came home to surprise me. Tears of happiness and excitement. We picked up my nephew and went for Pizza.(his request) My husband knew about this and kept a good secret.  J has meetings in D.C. so time spent together was short. But he also got to visit his brother and some very close friends before leaving. I felt like I was a real Mom again !!!  it's been 5 yrs.  Possible he and family will be state side in 3 or 5 months. Oh will that be nice, I miss those 3 grand girls so much. It's hard and I hate missing all their school events etc.  At least I can travel within the USA if we ever get nice weather.  Haven't even had Xmas with the Iowa son / family yet .   
Posting this Tuesday pm . My computer / printer not working together so both are going in for ????? clean up/repair. I don't do much on my phone for visits. So maybe Thursday I can stop by.
