Morning deskers!!
Here’s how to find out about WOYWW and here’s how my desk looked last night when I got in from work:

I’d had a crafty sess with my mum and sis the night before and, for no good reason at all, we had all had a go at making a 3d teacup from a dreamees template. My sis had a bit of bother and decided hers looked like ‘Chip’ from Beauty and the Beast. You can see him sitting on top of my DI pile. Didn’t take a photo of mum’s but it was coming along nicely (although there WAS a lot of arguing that there was a better way to do it until I finished one). That’s mine you can see, showing off its untidy bottom!! I wanted to put lots of flowers in it, and decided to follow the technique shown by Lise Cooke (Lise makes stunning pop up boxes … well everything she does is pretty cool - and I have seen one IRL and it was AWESOME).

Here’s my finished project, a little wobbly but not too bad for a first attempt, I think I could work the wrinkles out with another go, but that’s a project for a commission or a special birthday methinks.
Enjoyed finishing that off last night – really needed to wind down yesterday after doing a course – I am (I hope!) now an official Arts Award Advisor for Bronze and Silver level. Well, I think I understand the admin……not too sure about the delivery…….
And I showed you all that because the actual desk this morning is pretty boring. But I do have some new goodies to play with……

Ooh lovely crafting and not heard of the art award so will check them out, but well done.

Hi Cindy, awesome boxes. I will be watching to see what you do with the stamping gear- I've seen them around, and can't make my mind up whether I NEED any or not, lol.Have a great week, Hugs. Shaz #38 xxx
Hi, Cindy. I too am awaiting a project using the stamping gear. I see that device all the time at Michael's here in Canada, but I have not succumbed to the lure. ;) I think you did a wonderful job on your card.

That teacup card is stunning! I love the flowers.
Nice bit of new stash there. I couldn't figure out what the round thing was but I'm sure all will be revealed soon.
Thank you for letting me peep over your shoulder.
Have a good week,
a hug and God bless,

What a lovely card - I've bookmarked Lise's blog, to have a closer look at the how-to. Thanks for sharing. It's great to be able to share crafting with family - none of mine are really interested, unfortunately. Congrats on your new title! Have a great week, Chris # 16
Gorgeous teacup and flowers, lovely colour scheme too.
Have a great week and happy crafting, Angela x 41
Hi Cindy, love the teacup and the flowers are gorgeous ... sounds like you had a great time working through the instructions. Congratulations on your new job title.
