Morning Woywwers! Me again. Seems like there is always a reason for not joining in but I’m gonna try today because I really miss feeling part of this lovely community.
My desk is here, with an array of little watering can shaped cards. The little castle card is a commission and the pile of cards – well…….
I was challenged at the weekend to make 20 cards over the long weekend and despite some gardening, DS’s 22nd birthday celebrations and a big family lunch on Sunday I made my quota by the skin of my teeth (and by the time honoured technique of doing the same thing again and again and shameless plagiarising on Pinterest).
Putting everything in cello bags, photographing them and pricing up those that are going for sale is another matter however and took me most of Tuesday evening when I finally got in the craft room (sorry OH, I know I said I was coming back down ‘in a minute….’).For anyone who has the time, here’s a few individual photos of the ones in the pile.
Today I am mainly going to be thinking about making a card with a trumpet on it. Mmmmm.
Wondering what WOYWW is? Popover HERE to find out.
Happy Wednesday!!

Brilliant, Cindy. Well done you. Filling that challenge, getting everything else done - and still having a really good Easter break.
Take care. God bless.

Hi Cindy, haven't you been busy, I love the watering can idea, I just might have to plagiarise that one myself for a gardener friend. I've also been working on a pink castle for a little six year old, although I don't like pandering to girls' pink obsessions, when it comes to birthday cards, princess and pink do make life easy.
I also tell OH 'I'll be down in a minute' and that minute stretches into several, v.e.r..y.. l..o..n..g.. o..n..e..s!.
Thanks for sharing

Oooh, so many beautiful cards. And the little watering cans are just adorable! You´ve been really busy! Happy WOYWW, Evelyn #35
Gorgeous cards Cindy. I've been at the dentist, so not even sure what is on my desk at present! BJ
Absolutely gorgeous cards and what an accomplishment to make 20 of them in such a short period of time. I really like the watering cans too! I laughed when you said you didn't make it downstairs - happens to me all the time. Drives my hubby crazy! Thanks for visiting earlier! zsuzsa #26
I can barely make a card in a morning! Love that you took up the challenge! The watering can shapes are sweet..perfect for this time of year. I agree about the bagging and pricing..a real chore!
Hi Cindy, what a busy weekend you've had! I'm a fellow fan of Pinterest plagiarising- I think it's called CASEing, lol.Have a great week, Hugs, Shaz #7 xx
Hi Cindy, you have been busy! 20 cards in one weekend, I'm stunned ... I'd be lucky to make one a week :) The watering can cards are fabulous and your cards are gorgeous. Wishing you a happy crafty week. Elizabeth x #46
Good morning Cindy......wow that was a busy weekend you had and I just love your cards and for Pinterest I go there for so many ideas. Thanks for visiting me and I know how it is with computers I always have to ask my sister for help when I am stuck. Have a super week Hugs~ Anne L#3 I should also get busy with my mini albums as getting them done so I might work on my layouts soon.
Hee hee--the time honored tradition of shamelessly copying from Pinterest. Amen, sister! I am terribly impressed though and wish I could get such a spree out of myself as well. Those are some great looking cards! PJ #54
All your cards are adorable. I'm going to have to case some of them! 😉
Have a great day.

What gorgeous cards Cindy! love the watering cans. No, not demoing this time, think they had enough without me lol! (more time to shop...) think powertex is very like the stuff annamarie uses, very very messy... especially the brown one I used (should have seen my hands!!) Helen #1
Lots of gorgeous cards - it would take me a month to make that many. Thank you for the visit earlier - have a great week . Soojay xx
Wonderful to see you and your terrific projects Cindy.
Take care and don't work too hard
Love Chrissie xx
Ha! I know all about that 'just one minute', but it's not our fault. It's a well known scientific fact that the space time continuum is warped inside craft rooms...
Gorgeous cards, I love the watering can ones but understand the boring bit of bagging and tagging....that's like sewing up knitting for me. YAWN...... 😊
Hugs, LLJ 12 xxx
Such a creative space and sooooooooo many beautiful card :-)

I couldn't pick a favorite one even if you ask me too, The castle one is so pretty, but then i saw the butterfly one, oh and then the flowers with the wonky edge and.. happy WOYWW Vicky #8
Thanks for stopping by Cindy. The big batch of cards look lovely, I hope they sell well. I really like that special sandcastle one you made. I pushed on through with the tidying yesterday, but have had a bad night with one of the children ill, so it might be light duties today.
DD has an application form to help at this year's reading challenge, are you still in the library business?
