What's on my work desk Wednesday

This is my desk today!


It's a mess.......... There are my stamps I bought at Stamperama on Sunday on my desk ribbon and various other craft bits and bobs left over after I made fifty invitations, which I will show you a little later on, as they were a private commission!



Here is the scrapbook layout I made with all the Heartfelt Creations  flowers and sewing bits I stamped painted and cut out. The little advert came from a news paper of the time I copied and distressed.


Here is a close up of the advert


That needle packet is a copy of an old packet I found in a tin of buttons..... On that subject hubby surprised me with a little gift, on my return from visiting a friend,he had bought me, a tin of vintage buttons


I went to stay with my crafty friend Kim again this weekend so we could craft together on Saturday and then go to Stamperama on Sunday, where we meet up with five other crafty friends and all had coffee and a chat together!
Well that's it from me ..... If you want to have a look at some other crafty desks and what other crafters are doing........... Click on the link on the right hand side of my blog marked Stamping Ground and the lovely Julia will explain all!

    I think a tin of vintage buttons would have to one of the best gifts anyone could receive. You will have such a great stash to add to your lovely vintage layouts. Beautiful.

    I love your layout - it's just gorgeous! I'm guessing you 'fussy-cut' those scissors - what patience you have!
    Have a wonderful WOYWW!

    Okay, Jackie, if you made 50 invitations, then you get to take a rest. But then, girl, get in there and clean that up!! Love all your new goodies, and your layout is brilliant! (And, BTW, your hubs is a living doll!! Lucky you!)

    Thanks for coming by to see me earlier and I wish you a wonderful week! Darnell #34
