What’s on Your Workdesk Wednesday – 197

Hello Everyone!

Wow how quickly the time flies by each week. I am always amazed at how soon it’s Wednesday again (or Tuesday for people like me that write the night before).

Easter cards for Belinda's Crafts

Easter cards for Belinda’s Crafts

On my desk I have layed out all of my Easter cards I made for my shop this past week.  I just love the happy soft colors of spring papers. They are a joy to work with.  To the left you can see the Stampin up paper I used on the cards.

Next I need to photograph them for Etsy. So you can see them better on there very soon.

On top of them are some new inks I just received in the mail. I received one months ago in one of my monthly craft kits and finally got around to using one.  And as you might guess, I really like them. So I ordered a bunch more colors. I use them like I used the Colorbox cats’ eye ink pads. I generally use them for inking edges of paper.  But the beauty of using these are that they have a little handle built into them so that you really have better control and less on your fingers.  Needless to say I can’t wait to play with them.

In the back is some new Mo’s digital images printed and ready to be colored.  I also finally bought some refill for my tuxedo black Momento ink pad.

On the  right you can see some of my Copics in plastic containers. This is because I have yet to commit to buying another Copic case.

Up near my calender is some Queen and Company twine I have been reunited with recently. In other words, I found it in one of my creative chaos piles and didn’t remember I even had it. Pathetic I tell you.  But I am happy because the colors work well with my current projects.  And at least I found it before I purchased another one.  I’m just sayin’…

On the far right is my baby, my Nook HD. It is no secret I love to read and lately  I have been plowing through books. It’s been great.  If you are ever looking for a great read, just check out my reviews.

Anyhow I am off to go check out your 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!

Fairy Time – New card!

Hello everyone!  I have a new card I made to share with you.  I originally created it for a contest but missed the deadline. However, I still can share it with you.

I bought a bunch of fairies a while back and finally colored up my first one. Brings me back to when I would sit as a little girl and watch all the fairies in Disney cartoons with so much joy in my heart.

The Blizzard of 2013

This is what greeted us at the door after the blizzard.

This is what greeted us at the door after the blizzard.

Well they said we were going to be hit with major snow and high winds and boy were they right.  Friday day wasn’t bad but as we approached night and overnight the snow came down fast and the winds were very strong.  My sister lost power and she just had it restored yesterday! We were blessed in that no trees came down and our power never went off.  The governor issued a driving ban which if you know me, I wasn’t going anywhere if you paid me.  I am a little granny when it comes to driving in the snow.

The boys had a snow day on Friday and Monday due to poor road conditions. So there was major Cabin Fever in our home over the weekend.

The first picture is of what we saw when we first opened our door on Saturday. Where to begin was my first thought.  Oh and yes, I still have my wreath on the front door.

This is what you can see from the side of our deck.

Leao spent over 3 hours clearing the walk ways, front stairs, infront of the garage and the clearing the car in the front driveway. I spent 2 hours shoveling out our back walkway and cleaning both our cars.  Our plow guy didn’t arrive until Sunday and did a great job clearing both driveways.

 

You can't see my walkway or my retaining wall and my car was covered pretty thick with snow.

I hope all of you affected by the storm fared well.   My boys are back in school today which means I am able to actually get some work done.

Have a blessed day!
