WOYWW 252 - the secret is revealed..

Well here we are. Another What's on Your Workdesk Wednesday?  Julia is our intrepid leader and desk marshaller... check out the info here   I was scheduling this and heading for bed when I noticed Julia has published so, so am I!

My forthcoming trip had lots of you intrigued last week - I'll tell you more in a bit... first you want to see my desk right?  I'd like to see a desk too... someday I will make it off the floor..
is it a pizza?   no....
new toys!! stencils and stamps...



Tuesday was the last craft club - sad face!!  - unfortunately my sister in law Lynne and her friend Toni who've been running it, have decided that as not enough people go regularly, they're not covering the cost of the hire of the hall, so yesterday was the last one...
I packed a little bag...
 and once there started another masterboard with my Jo Firth-Young stamps...
and had fun colouring in!

Now for my trip - I'm going to Paris - to the Version Scrap show... with a group of mates from twitter/blogland... woop woop!!  I leave Thursday morning so I am sorry, but I don't think I'll get to visit many of your desks - certainly not before I go - Wednesday night is packing night!

Stand by for lots of stash buying and Paris fun - watch this space - I'm back on Sunday!!

WOW - you lucky lady going to Paris. Sorry your group is closing though - that's sad :-(
Why worry about a desk when there's so much more room on the floor?!?!?!?
Happy (early) WOYWW

Oh Version Scrap! Never thought of that. Now gone a violent shade of green. Wish I could get a friend to go with me. Say "hi" to Leandra, Lynn and Sally from me and just have a jolly good time. Not just at the show but in Paris itself. Oh lovely, Paris in Springtime.
Hugs, Neet 65 xx

Wow - wish I was coming with you - have a really fab time! I love the new board, BTW xx

LOVELY masterboard. I have actually done a little bit of shopping recently so working thru my ever changing list. The Jofy stamps are still on the list, but those useful stencils must surely grab a spot as well. I never saw the need for that scatter of different motifs sort of stencil before, but now I can see how great it would be to have ONE stencil and simply flip, rotate, repeat but have a bunch of choices. You are such an inspiration :)

Happy WOYWW!

How exciting! I love Paris as you know, if I had to say visit one place it is Musee D'Orsay. It's stunning. Oh use the Bato bus. A Boat Bus!! A great cheap way of seeing the city. Enjoy your day. Take care Zo xx 83

Belinda Basson said...

Paris! Oh how lovely! You are going to have to take LOTS of photos for me to live vicariously through you. Sorry to hear it is your last craft club. Why do all good things have to come to an end? Love your new stash. #63

BJ said...

Oh Paris in the Springtime! Is there anywhere nicer at that time of year. Euros aren't real currency, so anything you buy won't count as new stash, lol!! And talking of stash, I like your new stencils, shame the craft club is finishing too. Our snow is gone but we want a bit more, just a little bit!! We're at 90.7" for this winter, the all time record for this area is 93.4", set 130 years ago. Everyone feels that we've come so close we may as well break that record! So yeah, I'd like about 3" more! it only has to stay for a day, but I'd like to break the record, I doubt we'll get this close again in my lifetime!!

How fun for you! I would love to go to Paris. Bit more of a travel for me than you, unfortunately.
Sorry to hear about stamp club. Logistics stink sometimes. Maybe you guys can just take turns hosting at each other's dining room table?

Where did you order the stencils from? I look forward to seeing what you find in Paris Creative Blessings! Kelly #97
