My Desk

 This is the first of today's pictures (i have a few for you) This is my main craft desk......i have cleared most of my stuff away and got out some bits and bobs for the two little crafting people who will be using this desk on Saturday Joe aged 6 and Charlotte aged 7, lots of fun is planned, making cards, cutting, gluing, colouring, stamping etc...

 These two pictures are a close look at the space i have laid out for them ready to get crafting...

 This is my other desk that was piled high, the other week, most of the things on the desk have been put away all that is left is a few bits of copper and a couple of cards i made......you can see more about this in the post below...i did a project which is in the new copy of Craft Stamper Magazine January edition.

 Thought i would show you my ribbon area, as i have never done this before!

And to end i have a funny story for you about...........The apples above.
Charlotte( aged 7 ) has to take a healthy eating portion of fruit to school in her lunch box every day. Yesterday her mother got a call from the school asking, if when she picked Charlotte up would she pop into to see her teacher, do not worry she is not in trouble........ When her Mum saw the teacher she took her to where Charlotte sits in class, next to her seat was a box with items for the class in, the teacher had gone to the box that morning to get something she needed out and found it full of apples in fact 17 apples!!!!! seems each day Charlotte has been hiding her apple in the box and then going home and telling her mum she has eaten it, ............so today she took a strawberry and everyone had a apple crumble for tea.........except Charlotte who we now know does not like apples!

Craft Stamper Magazine Jan edition

Just looking through this months craft stamper magazine, in which i have a two page project about stamping on copper, there are lots of great projects and 'how to' guides......well worth purchasing i think!...maybe a christmas gift for yourself, at this busy time of year!
