Happy Wednesday all. Good to see you all again. What's on YOUR workdesk today? Once again we're all getting together at Julia's to check! Have you tidied? Have you re-organised? Have you shopped?
Well, I can answer yes to one of those.... bet you can't guess which one - go on, try!!
I know I said I wasn't going to before Ally Pally - but that's a month away (exactly a month) and - um - er - well you see I had such fun spraying colourwashes over the stencils last week I treated myself to a few more.
They're on the way to me, but not here yet. What DID arrive today (sorry, on Tuesday) are the goodies I got courtesy of my random win on the Simon Says Stamp and Show challenge a couple of weeks ago - and this is what I chose!
Some Tim Holtz stamps - for a change! Some of his earlier designs, that I've not seen here before (good excuse, eh?!)
The prize was a massive $50 to spend in the Simon Says online store. Well, it would be rude not to... So this haul cost me the price of the postage and a few $$ over the 50. And it only took a week to get here from the States. I don't think that's too bad.
I still love wood mounted stamps the best, never mind that they take up more storage space!
Had to have a little play too - the tag background is a reject from a challenge from a few days ago that I kept because you can cover a multitude of sins with paper scraps!
So, that's me. I will get to as many of you as I can today or as soon as I can, till then, have a great hop!
Oh, and I went to Kew Gardens again on Saturday, there are a few photos on my other blog (click the fountain at the top of the sidebar if you're interested)

What a fabulous prize to win - love those stamps and the tag you have done. Thanks for sharing.
Lovely tag. Tina Cox said recently that you cannot have too many butterflies on a card (to cover up the mistakes/deliberate changes to the design), so if anything is apparently a reject, there is always a way to lift it again.
Thanks for visiting me and leaving your lovely message. If you take a look at the PS, you will see that little Rosie has now made her appearance.
Another beauty, really love your art. Marie
Lovely tag and terrific haul - a fabulous win:) Popped over to see your photos - the orchids are gorgeous but 'host of golden daffodils' are my favourites. Elizabeth x #97
Great tag and love the stamps. :)
Thank you for sharing.

Nice shopping stash and only cost the postage!! A week from the States is brilliant... I am in Canada and it takes longer than that for something to cross the border!! LOL I am late in visiting so I got to see your brown eyed girl project and its lovely - perfect for a male card! Annette #5
