WOYWW - Week 141 - What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday?

A Belated Good Day All,

I hope you are all well and enjoying WOYWW today.

What a difference a week can make! Last week early, this week late. My get up an go has failed to put in an appearance today and I'm struggling to press the go button ... so reporting in late Julia, but here at last ... Stamping Ground is where the action is so hop over and join in the fun.


This was what was on my desk in the wee small hours of the morning - not a lot!


This is what is on it now ... not much progress has been made. I've gone from working last week on a large project, 12"x12" scrap layout ... click here for the link  for those who said they would like to see the completed layout - I kept the flowers as so many of you said I should ... to something very small this week, a 4"x4" card. It's an attempt to use up some of the little bits and bobs, too nice to bin but too small for most projects, that are squirrelled away. Bits of ribbons, small images, pieces of embossed card accrued when putting the Cuttlebug through its paces shortly after it arrived ... that sort of thing. Because, if I don't use them up, very shortly I'll be drowning in a sea of teeny weeny bits :)

I hope your Valentine's Day was a good one. We had a lovely time and enjoyed our lunch out immensely. Here's a couple of photos I took while at the restaurant ... the plan is to make a layout incorporating them at some point ... just not today ;)


Alan looks as though he doesn't know what to do with himself ... I just wanted a nice shot of him by the sign :)


Rose petals and chocolate hearts were awaiting us once we got inside.

Okay, that's me for this week but before I go I would like to thank everyone who left their good wishes for William and Arihanna. William is recovering well from his operation and little Arihanna is beginning to recover from the infection now, and should be well enough for the planned operation fairly soon.

We are off out for a walk now ... see if I can shake of the lethargy that's on me ... and I'll be back in half  an hour or so to check out a few desks.

Happy Crafting,

    I'm late this week too, but only 'cos the weather's been so nice we've been in the garden, what luxury after last week. I hope your get up and go has returned after your walk, Elizabeth. The fresh air is lovely isn't it?
    Your LO from last week is gorgeous. I'm so glad you kept the flowers and I recognise that sentiment, it fits perfectly doesn't it?
    How lovely to go out for lunch yesterday. I'm glad you enjoyed it. We had a special tea and I got DD to take a photo so I could scrap it too. See great minds think alike.
    Happy WOYWW

    I thought I was early this week Elizabeth as I was up and posting the link at 6:45 but I'm still 57th on the list. That will have to do as no way am I getting up earlier than that. Hope you enjoyed your Valentine meal - lovely touch to have the rose petals.

    What a nice valentine dinner for you and your husband! Here we usually have a get together with my family. It's just such a big hassle to go out and brave the traffic to go out and eat! For my first valentine dinner after i got married, we went to favorite restaurant, only to find out they changed the settings to small tables for two (quite crowded) and the menu (smaller sizes)and so we never did it again!

    Looks like this will be a lovely little card. last weeks 12x12 layout was fab. I have a similar picture to that, in my family room My uncle took the photo and we had it blown up.

    I'm a fan of boats too!

    Glad things sound a bet better with the children...fingers crossed.

    Elizabeth, you have such a full plate, but at least this week there is a bit of good news. Of course, there is also a bit of love and hearts in the mix, too. Glad you had a great Valentine's day. Happy WOYWW from #3.

    You probably captured the moment when your lovely man realised that he was colour co-ordinating with the sign and therefore a perfect scrapbooking subject!! So glad things have settled a bit with the children's health...relief. I do have a rule about the little bits....i don't keep them!

    hope you are feeling revitalised b y now and glad to hear about W & A. I think we need some warmth and sunshine but that will come!
    There's still enough on your desk to keep you busy for a while!. I think this is my 2nd visit but don't think my 1st comment transmitted so thanks for visiting me.
    Home, warm and missing my family over there. It always takes me a week or so to get over the blues.

    thanks for visiting my blog/desk.
    Yes those scraps when used on the next card will produce more scraps/snippets, but a 1/4 sheet of cardstock I'm not wanting to toss, but a 1" pce I have no problems tossing BIG GRIN.

    Lovely project on your desk. I find making something from snippets or bits and pieces is a very lengthy endeavor. Have a great day and hope you get back up to speed.
