What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday!

Not so much a picture of my desk this week, more to the left of it! So it wouldn't be a Wednesday without a cat featuring somewhere! As soon as the sewing machine came out of the drawer she was in there!

As for projects - well a couple of posts back I worked on my 'Home' plaque - my very clever dad made the plaques (all 27 of them, he sort of got a production line going!) and I went to town with the papers - Fancy Pants - Roadshow and Prima flowers.  Picturing the finished plaque here ...

If you've been a visitor to my blog before you may have noticed this week it has had a revamp - only took about 4 hours! I have a serious affliction of pressing the wrong buttons at the wrong time - sorted eventually.

I'm off to a scrapbooking retreat this weekend, three heavenly days of scrapping, eating, bit of swimming if I find the time(!) and a bit more scrapping.  I hope to get lots done and feature my pages on here soon. 

Have a good week everyone - keep warm :-)

The Scrapbook Magazine - Issue 50

The Scrapbook Magazine, Issue 50 features Chicken Soup on page 6 under "what's new". Such excitement - such fame.. (well a worthy tiny bit anyway!)

Wooden Plaque - 'Home'

Just a few posts back I mentioned that my darling dad had made me a wooden plaque - (actually he's gone into super production and made 28 so see me if you would like one.. or two!)  I used some gorgeous Fancy Pants - Roadshow papers, Prima flowers and few other bits and bobs and created this. 

I'm pleased with the way it turned out so my 'Home' plaque is going on display at home today! :-) xx

Chicken Soup - Recipe #17

Hi everyone,
So ready for a challenge?  This is this week's inspiration for Chicken Soup  I was delighted as beads are right up my street and I even managed to stamp a clock!  So here is my layout making full use of a new Martha Stewart punch and a fair amount of butterflies!  Join in and have fun :-)

What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday!

So here we are again and this is the work desk this week.  Have you ever wondered what to do with an empty slice desktop storage unit... stick a cat in it!  I am rarely alone in my craft space, there is always a fur baby around somewhere.  And, keeping with the theme of cats here is a page I've just completed featuring Karla - not actually one of my own, she belongs to my sister, she's got pedigree as she's a Bengal (I'm referring to the cat here, not my sister!)

I also amazed myself and made a card (a rare occurrence).  A lovely friend of mine is moving home and she deserves a special card and here it is...

Come back and visit soon as I will be posting some Chicken Soup news and call by Julia's place to join the craze that is WOYWW.  Have a lovely week all you nice people out there!

Wooden Plaques

What do you think?  Yes a very blank plaque!  But what is absolutely great is that my darling dad made this for me and in fact he has informed me he can make dozens!  So here it is 'naked' and very soon you will see how I've altered this piece of wooden loveliness :-)  Christine x
