What’s on Your Workdesk Wednesday – #213

Hello Everyone!  Happy Summer to you. I missed last week because I was running around like a mad women with the ending of school for the boys. But then again, aren’t I always running around like a mad women?

This week isn’t that much better.  Family arrived from out of town on Sunday and the boys began summer camp this Monday. I am trying to come up with activities to keep my niece, nephew 3nd my two boys happy for this week. I am also working with my husband to plan our anniversary get away for July 18th.  So very excited. We rarely have alone time and we will have 4 days kid free. More on that later.

I did complete and deliver the teacher gifts last week. I didn’t have time to go pick up gift bags so I used lunch bags and used a Fiskars border punch on the top and then I used a ticket punch to create nameplates on each bag. Then I stapled the top (for added suspense) with my Tim Holtz tiny attacher.

I am in the process now of playing Project Life catch up. Which seems to be the pattern for me despite my efforts. I take the photos and have lots of product (don’t we all) but have not sat down and printed and assembled. I would like to get caught up over the next two weeks. So we will see. I am also still in the honeymoon phase with my Silhouette. I haven’t had it long but really am enjoying the great things I can achieve with this tool. I am even thinking of making my own cut files.

It has been raining here something fierce and so my gardening has been fleeting moments in the breaks of sunshine.  I have no more to plant but the rain has multiplied my stinkin’ weeds to the thousands!!

I made three different styles.

Have a blessed day!
