What's on my work desk this week

Here it is ..... Piled high!!!
There are three scrapbook albums in view, lots of Ancestory photos and information
Those white flowers from three weeks ago are still there, need to get that project done !!!!! So many ideas going on in my head!!!


I finished off the scrapbook page I had been playing with sprays with


I added a few buttons and a photo !


Here is some family tree information I have, I found a nice lady called carol who did some family history tree work for me, if you are too busy or not sure where to start but really would like your family tree doing contact carol at kin_link@yahoo.co.uk, she did my dads family tree for £25 for me, if you e mail her,tell her I recommended her, I don't get anything for it!


Now I am guilty of not having done very much crafting this week as its been my birthday weekend and full of family and friends


I went out for afternoon tea, last Friday with a bunch of crafty friends and we had a yummy tea!



Here are some pictures of the lovely cards they made for me












Such a clever bunch of friends! My daughter brought me this lovely cake for my birthday



And a fun weekend was had with friends and family and lots of yummy cakes!!!!!!!



That's it from me...... Will get back to crafting now and produce some more layouts. If you would like to have a look round other crafty desk just click on the link on the right of my blog marked stamping ground and all will be explained

    Well, first of all belated birthday greetings from me.
    It looks like it was a special birthday with all those treats - love the cards your friends made for you and the cake looks yummy but too nice to eat. Guess that is where photography comes in, a nice photo and then yum yum yum eat the evidence.
    Hugs, Neet 9 xx

    Thanks for the kind birthday wishes and visit today! Happy belated b-day to you! We both had a great weekend I see! That cake is so pretty! Love that you spent the day with family and friends. Always the best. I just got home from my tea with my hubby. I am in a carbohydrate coma now from all the butterscotch scones! Your layout is so pretty, love how you used the sprays, and that is a precious picture! Winnie#90

    I'm the kind of person with loads of ideas and projects on the go. I must get some finished soon.

    What lovely cards you received. Hope you had a great day to celebrate. I am into family history, and have gone back into the 1500's on a couple of lines. The computer file is now absolutely huge as it also contains census returns, birth, death and marriage certificates and probate entries, plus any family stories. It is a very addictive hobby. If you take it further you will have fun. Thank you for your visit and encouraging words. xx Maggie #10
