Its WOYWW (Whats on your workdesk Wednesday) time which is the Creation of our host Julia and has folks from all over the world sharing their workdesks with each other. If you would like to find out more and maybe join in the fun check out the link here to find out how.
My DH had a few days off work during the nice weather and we were able to enjoy a little quality time together. I also got chance to do a couple of car boot sales. My lovely friend Anne and I had lots of crafty bits we did not use any more, and we put it all together and made some money for for us both to put towards new stash. A visit to the Happy Stampers show at Port Sunlight was the venue for our retail therepy and we had a really lovely few hours (DH Redanne and DH almo in tow to carry bags! and keep each other company). The deal was that we had them both back home in good time to watch the FA cup final which fortunatly had a late kick off.
So this was my desk on Monday when I laid out my purchases from the show, I had put a coat of Gesso on the wall plaque before I took the photo.
I bought one of the six lovely new Indigo blue stamps only released last Friday, and a couple of translucent fresco paints, a Stamps away Lighthouse stamp, 3 masks (one was a pressie from Anne along with the pretty pink atc and rusty wire) some JOFY stamps, a wall plaque, Chloes lattice stamp, embellishments and treasure gold. The 3 eco paints were a bargain at 3 for £5.
This was my desk this morning when I had started to play with my goodies.
Just before I go can I introduce you to a a lady who is fairly new to blogland and who has very recently joined WOYWW. Her name is Julie Ann and she has some amazing projects well worth a visit if you get chance just click here for a look at Magpieheaven.
Thank you for taking the time to visit my desk today, as usual I will get around as many desks as I can and visit everyone who visits me.
Happy Crafting - have a great day.
Hugs

So you did have a good time then. You two make me laugh with your reasoning for buying new stash. Car boot the old, get some new.
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoyed yourselves. I can just imagine David and your hubby dragging along at the back

Hi Mo! I was supposed to be out of the house ten minutes ago, but I just had to see what is on your desk this week. It's lovely to see you back in the land of Blog. Wow! Indigo blu stamps. They are lovely, but I don't have any of them. How do I manage to spend so much money on craft and never have everything I want/need? I don't think I could ever get Mr Magpie to join me at a boot sale!!! xxx#58 Julie Ann.
ReplyDeleteOops - still here! Must control this urge to keep looking on people's desks! I forgot to say thank you, thank you, thank you for your lovely 'shout out', you're so kind x #58 Julie Ann.

What a wonderful haul... great spending of your carboot proceeds, and it already looks as though you're well under way with it all creatively!

A shopping you did go! I'm keeping a promise I made to myself to NOT shop for new until I have used (at least once) everything I already have. Oh it's tough, but such fun playing with stuff I forgot I bought! Thanks for popping by!

G'day Mo
ReplyDeletethanks for dropping by my blog for WOYWW. As usual I am late getting around but here I am at last :o). Have fun with your new purchases and I bet the wall plaque will look divine when you have finished. What the heck is that tool thingo at back left Mo?
