#776 What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday

Welcome and I missed you last week, it was a fast one. Something everyday and I've not caught up.  The day we share our desks thru Mr. Linky at Ms. Julia's Blog

 

Besides computer glitches, phones changing  set up I'm behind. Mostly with getting ready for family visitors in a few weeks and then FINGERS CROSSED. Military family headed back to USA.  (hoping the mess with destructive countries it doesn't change things) XXX

I love  area on line auctions and found some real treasures. But all the magical ideas in this head of mine can't keep up. I scored LOTS of FUN things and hope to share if I can transfer ALL the Photos soon. 

My desk: (the reason for the post ! )   Making some clusters from scraps on a tiny table 

I ended up scrapping the t.P. rolls idea for a journal...several came apart at the folds. But I did some stitching on a few pieces ...Seems I was into 'Tiny" creations on what little time I had to have fun.

And I cut up some tattered doilies and tea dyed them. The top is crumbled paper I didn't get pressed out in time, so will re wet it and try again.  

Well Mr. Hub, is off to the field, worked grown 2 days and now planting corn. Rain is predicted  WE had terrible high winds So he cleaned up the mess of broken branches and this big limb.  With the temps of 80 I want to clean our garage...so much stacked through winter and I am sorting and maybe doing an auction on the stacks I don't use. It's a 3 stall so It's a big challenge !!!   maybe photos next week. 

Wishing you all the best, 

#774 What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday

Welcome It's the Day we share our favorite works....from our desks, tables, lap!

Anyone can join up thru Ms. Julia's blog HERE 

Spent some time organizing My dies 

My desk:

I've saved a few toiletpaper rolls and clipped them together to flatten edges. 

I want to make a little cardboard journal and thought this size would be good. Hope I can share a finished one next week  !! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

I also organized my cardboard.....lots of different sizes and tired of having piles of everything on my floor. This wooden organizer has been in the store room forever.  

I have to spend sometime making my 2 Germany granddaughters birthday cards. AND I need to start making a few weeks ahead ....... I hate deadlines. 

The one thing I don't enjoy is making flat ATC's/Cards etc but Mail is so messed up layers don't work so well anymore from our USPS.  
You all have a wonderful week, Hope you have some nice weather and sunshine.

It's suppose to be here later in the week. 

WOYWW 773

It's a Good Morning here,  Sun is out, No Wind, Tuesday's Ice and Snow melted and we are on our way out !  So a quick one and I'll comment mostly later in the day  Fun and beauty with my host and friends HERE

If you are interested in the Journal I created for my Sis's 70th birthday it is now posted page by page  below this post....I could not get the video shared to blogger.  I did post it to Facebook and Instagram with no issues.  Except my clumbsy fingers !

Today I'll share my nephew's 5oth Birthday tag    top is the backside, He maintains the local Golf Course and helps the owners with many projects as they also own a wonderful restaurant  and farm

Front of card  date and year of birth   area he lives  age and a Celebrate stamp 

No Photos of desk was too cold to work down there the past 3 days and nothing's changed.  

I will share a great mailing envelope transformed into a Collage for this upcoming Holiday.  

This is an envelope made from wallpaper. Mailed with this Easter collage to me from a very sweet lady. She had an Etsy shop I purchased Jeanne d' Arc Living Magazines from in Spokane. She had a business Neat Old Stuff. SO many memories of her fun projects. Was the days of mail arriving in really odd form. This is exactly how I received it and was covered with a plastic magazine cover, which accounts for the glare.

WISHING YOU and YOURS a wonderful EASTER. Thank You for your visits and kind comments last week.

OH...I awoke and told my precious little cat, up and at 'em..it's WEDNESDAY! Got to get up and get busy.  We have to share our desks for my WOYWW group!  and off he ran !    It's 5 a m  still dark, but our daylight savings time started 2 wks ago and finally got all the clocks changed over and YES we have daylight about 6 am  until sometime after 7 p m.  LOVE IT. 

We have a forecast for FRIDAY thru SUNDAY of RAIN to our south and SNOW HERE! But it should melt quickly, our ground is warm and greening up as we did get some rain last week.  On the go all week. He's needing parts for machinery, as he is preparing for planting season in a few weeks. IF the ground is ready. 

So I haven't been too creative, my DESK!  Using my Gelli plate for some backgrounds. Hopefully today I can do the backside on some. He has appointments so lots of time for me with no meal interruptions !

I am making headway with the sorting and organizing  advertised my 4 bar stools and the SOLD quickly. So gives me much more space. We don't use the down stairs as a gathering place anymore !  Most are not able to do steps. Still provides sleeping areas for when the kids come to stay, but that is few and far between. 

One of my trips to the City I got a really short hair cut !!!! Another I won at the Casino !!!! and We are watching a LOT of NCAA College basketball MEN and Women.......IOWA teams are really doing great. 

Enjoy a great week, thanks for all your visits, Hoping I can share the Video next week.  Many computer and printer issues.

OH Yawn....it's late, Will schedule this and be back in Morning. Busy times here, Our Iowa State Women's Basketball played it final Championship game tonight. They lost to Texas. Had a tremendous season with mostly Freshman players.  Now on to NCAA Tournaments. Audi is a girl from our Catholic School who has set Freshman records and is one great player so lots of interest in her success.   Partaking in Stamping Ground Blog

My DESK:  I got the paint tray set up vertically and I am going to enjoy that. Some odd painting on thin cardboard and grocery bags.  Finalized my sisters 70th Birthday Journal and trying to  figure out a way to share the Video. It on my phone.Says it's too big of file to send by email to my home computer/  Any ideas  from my phone  to here?  

.  An ATC for My Sister...

A layered pocket for it 

The back side of card. 

Grandson's 21st birthday pocket...will put in card with $ & gas cards

This is his Birthday Tag  Maps on these show town area they live in  date of birth 

Back side of his card ....We sign it with a note from Grandma & Grandpa Fuzz. (my hubby's nick name)

This is the front of the pocket  used ISU as the Iowa State University he attends  There are 3 pockets in this fold  that is shown by the 2 vertical tiny strips and 1 horizontal toward the bottom. I will take them out when I insert the credit card and money.

 HOWDY     I am late, overslept and realized it is  Wednesday   It's a fun day at STAMPING GROUND

My desk 

Textured some papers and left to dry. Continued on to clear the floor and some drawers and this crafty space as about done reorganizing.

I've had this paint tray a LONG time  usually on the floor as it is quite large laying flat..new IDEA?

make it vertical and sort the good from the bad and put it on top of this desk.  IDEA?

After loading it all and trying to put it up there it messed with my SCIATAIC nerve  So now on heat and ice and a muscle relaxer. 

Next week I'll have a lot to share  3 Birthday creations...the desk with this paint tray and hopefully more painted papers.  

So like Spring here  some rain predicted which we need badly. Temps 60's /70's  UNHEARD OF.

And Robins are back. not my favorite bird but they usually are the sign of Spring. 

Enjoy a great week    Thanks for all the fun visits 2 weeks ago.....last week unexpected issues, so we were gone all day,

It's no doubt  Good Morning to most of you, here past my bedtime, but lots to do the next few days.  Thanks to Julia at the Stamping Ground Blog  we can all enjoy each others activities by sharing our desks.  

My special neighbor brought me some bib overhall scraps and I was so excited as they are hard to find.  I will give here the Valentine later with a piece of Pumpkin Pie.

A few other sizes to play with later. 

MY DESK:    a tiny journal in front   will do a video hopefully by next week Ideas for the string and will share some nest post some not yet received Valentines I sent 

Had a busy 2 wks   Hubby had surgery on arm for a Cancer lump...stitches out this past Tuesday..All shows was successful.  Quite common in Farmers too much sun/chemicals

Then Wednesday early Morning I took him to ER....he thought it was appendix..after tests it was a kidney stone.  Lots of pain until Tuesday it passed and he just seems tired.

I missed 766 as we had 2 more funerals.  

  My 3 grand girls each made a  1st Place in their European 

Forces Kingfish swim team  held in the Netherlands this past Friday/Saturday/Sunday.  Wanted to share a photo, but  not available....

Welcome,  a little late but our time is  7 A.M.  And I forgot yesterday that today is the day we visit desks and greet our  all over the World friends !   HERE at STAMPING GROUND

Missed last week, we had 2 local funerals, one was  my husband's life long neighbor/friend all these years and another one tomorrow traveling to his cousin's.  They all have lived a great life into 80's and 90's  So Blessed. 

Still working on getting  the storage room in order, got all of Christmas put away, added Valentines to 2 small trees and decorated one  window 

I've collected hearts a long time, the very top are all colored glass and quite pretty with the blinds open and sun reflection  and are up there all the time. The longer hanging ones are ones I added for February. 

Some papers I marked with black paint/markers to use in a journal I plan on putting together. Will add other colors as I decide. 

MY DESK;

Enjoying the clean organized area I have once again.  A tiny journal I'll share inside hopefully next week. Some fabric bits and tiny pages.   Some black stitching on brown paper,  I spent a day getting my bobin/thread and sewing machine back in working order. !!!!!  Whahoo.........................partaking in UK's    Artist Trading Coins and Cards UK doing ATC's and ATC COINS. Not many partake but I love making a few a week. THE Collage Are Collective, that I did the 3x3's daily closed down.  And I am missing the great group that was so supportive and creative.  A new group was offered but I don't pay to belong to my crafty fun.

Well hopefully I can make visits today and maybe again later on Friday.  Thanks for all who made comments last posting .  Here temps are to be in the 50's with SUNSHINE,   totally  an unusual winter.  Not much SUNSHINE, Lots of FOG,    

I wish you all a wonderful week
