Hello Everyone!

Wow we are moving along rather fast and yet another Wednesday has arrived.

Well on my desk you will see lot’s going on.  By the way, in case you didn’t know, if you click on the images on my site, you get an even bigger version (which is perfect for snooping!) I bought another cool container at Target (the grey tweed case) and love it. I bought a matching one that is much larger to hold my magazines next to my comfy chair in my craft room.

Inside the case I have some Copic Markers that need filling (yes the same one’s I mentioned over a month ago that needed filling). The pathetic part is the refill is right there next to them so what’s the hold up?  I also have all my new Valentines (yes you heard correctly) stamps and goodies in there.

Lots of goodies on my desk.

I am slowly getting used to the retail schedule and this first year of Etsy I am mostly playing catch up which doesn’t exactly boost sales. So about a week ago I started scouring the internet to find some Valentines products. Of course I had to buy the cute little MFT stamp you see there of the girl holding chocolates. So very cute. I also just received yesterday, the Martha Stewart washi tape. It’s so pretty. One has hearts, and I am not sure which is my favorite the one with the envelop and heart with the word love or the pretty vines with flowers and hearts.  Plan on using it rather than hording which is what I usually tend to do with my washi tape.

Gearing up for Valentines Cards

You can also see a C.C. Designs stamp for valentines day. I have been branching out in the stamp companies and this is one of the first C.C. Designs so I am super excited to try it out.  I also snagged the little heart punch at Michaels a few days ago.  And finally I pulled out my last year valentines’ 6×6 pads. I also bought one that I thought I could use for more masculine cards. It was on clearance — a word that is music to my ears.

On the left you can see I stamped up a bunch of another Christmas image and stamped up some pattern paper for some paper piercing out of the Crate paper ‘Peppermint’ paper pack. Can’t wait to see how she turns out.

Card I just made for a dear friend of mine.

I just made this quick card for one of my friends and thought  I would share it. It’s can funny how things come together when you don’t put too much pressure on yourself. I somehow whip them up quick but like I said before, I can take way too long on my cards for my shop.  Oh and I am proud to say that yes that is some washi tape  I used on the right side of the card.  I am such a hoarder but I am glad I parted with some for this card.

Still plowing through my Project Life. I printed a bunch of photos yesterday and plan to print  another batch today.  At this rate, I actually might actually complete it by the end of the month. A feat I am not taking lightly.

Put  up Christmas decor in the house this past weekend and my sweet husband put up lights on the house.  Tonight we go buy a tree  and I have been playing my Christmas music since the day after Thanksgiving.  So we are full throttle in our home.  On December 1st we even had a little snow, which has since melted but fun to look at while it came down.

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!
