What’s on Your Workdesk Wednesday – #171

Working on my fall products for Belinda’s Crafts.

Hello friends!  First off, I want to say This week I am in bliss.  The boys are both in school and I am able to finally show up to my desk to create some goodies.  My sweet husband took this week’s photos of me so you can actually see me at work.  Or should I say how the mess is made that I often photograph and share with you weekly.  Now that I can have real office hours, I am making sure I dress in my nice clothes (not my comfy sweats) so that I am feeling in the mood. At the current time, I am on a dress kick so bare with me. I love clothes and never stopped wearing them because I am a stay at home mom.  Oh and you can see how short I cut my hair. Yes, a new hair cut (see prior post). I digress…Anyhow, I am working with lots of products for my fall product lines for my Etsy shop and I am really having fun pulling out really old products and mixing with new ones. I am using some old Hero Arts stamps  and mixing them with some new K and Company products.

I am so happy that I can work on my craft projects in the day.

Oh and I forgot to share last week my latest bargain…an OttLite! I have wanted to buy one for a long time and wanted to find the right deal before I took the plunge.  A dear friend told me about a great sale online and I took it to my local store and they matched it. So that is the lamp you see squeezed in between the madness that is on my desk.

 

Don’t you just love the Tim Holtz scissors?

Ok, way too much of me… I better get going so that I can start spanning the globe looking at other desks. If you haven’t learned about this amazing creative journey you can take every Wednesday, then head on over to Julia’s Stamping Ground and you will find desks from all around the world for What’s on Your Workdesk Wednesday.

Have a blessed day!

My new haircut!!

 

My new haircut!

Well let’s just say I have spent my entire blankety blank years with long hair. When I married my husband, eleven years ago, my hair reached my bottom. I remember it getting caught in the window in the car and needing to move it when I visited the ladies room!  I started cutting it a bit over the past years and I decided a few weeks ago that I wanted a new hairstyle. Something short and stylish.  I have never had short hair never mind hair above my shoulders but I went for it. And I have to say it’s fun. This year is going to be an adventure and my hair is yet another part of my adventure.

And the Winner is…

Me!! It is safe to say, I am not very lucky when it comes to games that involve chance. Because of that, I tend to witness others (like my sister) win big on scratch tickets while sitting on the sidelines. At carnivals I rarely take the chance to win at any of the games like ring toss.  So when my LSS started this ‘Spin the Wheel’ when you spend a certain amount of money at the store, I would spin each week because no loss was involved. I already spent money on good craft goodies so what the heck!  Well after week’s of hopeless spinning and losing, I won!!

Me taking the chance!

The beauty is I was at a crop night with my girlfriends and they all knew that the win must be documented or else I would be creating crafting blasphemy if I didn’t. So my girlfriend Joan took  the photo of me and the wheel. What did I win did you say?  A $20 gift certificate to use on my next visit. But more than the money (which I was pleased to take), I got to experience the thrill of winning a game of chance.  Very fun. Don’t hold your breath on me going to the Casino’s anytime soon, I haven’t quite turned that corner!

And the Winner is Me!!

 

Fun Photos Friday – #8

It’s been a while since I have posted a favorite photo for Friday. Well not only is it my favorite by it has my three favorite people and it was taken on Friday.

 

First day of school pick up with Dad.

Most days I pick up the boys from school alone. Leao is at work and can’t be there. Today was the boys first day of school. Apollo’s first day in Kindergarten and Nicholas third grade.  So having dad waiting there for them when they came out of school was a proud moment for us all. I love these moments and will always cherish them.
