What's On Your Workdesk? Wednesday # 690

 Morning deskers. Another week has flown by.

Main news: The project is finished (ish). In fact it was my daughter's birthday yesterday and I gave it to her with a few gaps - she will have to provide those photos if she wants them in, I don't have  them. There were tears. What a slog but worth it. No photo as I forgot and I don't know where it is at the mo. But here's her birthday card.

Before you ask, I have no idea where that shoe image is from. In my digital stash from sometime over the last xxx no years. I'm liking these springy cards, so as I had cards to do I did give myself a day off from 'The Project' last week to experiment some more and also try out a NBU embossing folder (sweet pea) from Lisa Horton. Was going for a watercolour effect, quite pleased with the finished cards.






Oh, forgot the desk - here it.

As you can see there are a lot of circles and squares on it. 2 minutes into tidying up I decided my box of 'shape' die cuts needed a sort through. So I started, then remembered it was Wednesday. This is so me.

Never mind  WOYWW, I am loosely committed for lunch/coffee today, I have done no washing or housework since Saturday, have a hair appointment tomorrow, a card class on Friday which I have yet to prep for,  I have 25 coming for drinks and food on Saturday, and there is currently so much stuff on the craft room floor I can barely get my feet down. 

But this is what I am doing with my time. 

Better get on with it then.

So, why am I showing you my desk? Well it's our weekly Wednesday Blog Hop - WOYWW. Here's the link to the one responsible, the lovely Julia at Stamping Ground - pop on over and join in, see what it's all about and have a go yourself. 

Have a great week, love n hugs Cindy xx

You have some lovely cards. And I love the High Heel Shoe !!!
I could ditto your words on craft space/ and the happenings of the day, Time just flies by and I am less and less organized, I don't know what's with it, but I don't like it. Seems I'm never prepared ahead for anything. But we've had to be gone several days and that hasn't helped. Wishing you peace and it will all work out.

Cindy you sound as if you are going to meet yourself coming backwards. What a busy schedule you have this week.
Love the sweet peas, as you say, they are perfect for your cards, such pretty colours you can use with them. Love the tall shoe card you made for your daughter, very elegant.
Hugs Neet 2 xx

Hi Cindy seems an age since I have looked your blog. Love both the cards. I think sweet peas are special, my dad used to grow them. So pretty. I am glad that I am not the only one with a messy craft space, housework undone etc, etc. It worries me at times but hey ho I love to craft lol so something has to give!
Have great weekend. Anne x 13

Oh so funny stopping half way tidying to extra tidy your diecuts, that's SO me too. Super cards. So glad you got to sort the BIG project out in time and hope you get to photograph it sometime too. BJ#10

Cindy, I’m so late because, well, you get it. I think the birthday card for your gal is fab, so thrilled that she loved The Project, makes it worthwhile, huh! as for the others deadlines and the sudden need to sort out the shapes die cuts…totally. 25 for food and drinks must have been fun, if a little exhausting…there’s not much you can do in advance really, but I do hope you enjoyed!
