WOYWW 439

That was a quicker week than ever!  Here we are reporting for desk duty with Julia - and it's November!
I'm really starting to sound like my Mum - or my Grandmother!

I don' t have much to share today, my floor space has gone untouched ..

although I did manage to stamp out the skulls ... after spending some time looking for a long acrylic block I was convinced I had that would fit the stamp (it's nearly 12 inches long) - I'm still not 100% sure I don't have one... I tried it without a block (not bad but not perfect) and with two smaller ones - that worked ok, by inking the stamp and putting it onto the card, then laying the first block on top of the stamp and lining up a second one next to it, and pressing down.... the hardest bit was removing the block without wobbling the stamp (till I realised all I needed to do was lift the blocks together and the stamp would come with them - doh!!)

I had planned to use them in a journal page but so far haven't got any further...
Something tells me instead I really ought to be starting my Christmas cards very very soon!!

I'll leave you with a picture from Kew last Saturday in the sunshine - more here

I loved these little guys - part of a special Artful Autumn event (finished now, sadly) - tai chi practicing willow men - called the Treelings

Have a great week!

WOYWW 438 more impulse shopping...

Hi, welcome back deskers - amazingly time for another What's On Your Workdesk? Wednesday ... the cold came and has nearly gone, still quite bunged up and coughing a lot, but I haven't felt ill at all and managed Kew on Saturday again (here)  if you have time or the inclination,

But impulse shopping... well yes.   Sue from Artist Trading Post put a post on Facebook about new stamps and new Scrapinek chipboard... so it would have been rude not to investigate, right?
(Ordered on Sunday, despatched on Monday, received on Tuesday.... brilliant!! )

a row of skulls (Carabelle Studio stamps..) love these-  even though I don't "do" Hallowe'en, but there were fab.... and the chipboard pieces... and a bottle of black Ecoline ink, mainly to bulk it up to  qualify for free P&P...

Now of course I should be making Christmas cards, never mind anything else, but I haven't done a thing.  And somehow, it's the end of October next week, not a card in sight.... maybe I'll buy them this year!! 

Glad you all liked the boots (I bought - more kind of impulse shopping - a skirt and jumper that would go well with them on Sunday!)  I have to say they are very comfy (only do flats these days!)

Ok, that is me this week, will allow you to get on and visit some more desks, Julia is waiting for you....
