WOYWW

A desk in waiting, as it were.
Images to colour and projects to start.
The bit of cardboard was from the pretty packaging of a lovely little plant given to me by a friend for my birthday. I took it apart to see if I could make a template from it. It was too large to scan, so I cut it in half and I thought that I would make it from 2 separate pieces of card. Should be fun!
However I won't be doing any of it today, for today I'm being taken on my birthday treat...a day at Glorious Goodwood! Last night we went to the most fabulous performance of 42nd Street at the Chichester Festival Theatre... tomorrow it will be business as usual!
I thought I would share a couple of things with you.
Firstly, and most excitingly, I've been asked to join the DT at the Creative Card Crew! How exciting is that, I feel really flattered!
Secondly, I thought I would show you my newly tidied shelf. This is just above face level immediately in front of me.
I used to keep my supply of Cats Eyes Inks on this shelf too, but was frequently knocking them off the shelf, only to have them land all over the place, splitting into the individual sections in the process. However I discovered that they fit neatly into one of the drawers of one of my Poundland purchases... little sets of three drawers, thus...almost made to measure. No more "Cats Eyes keep falling on my head".
Have a great day and hop over to Julia's (Link on sidebar) to see what everyone else is up to today. Last week I managed to get around to everyone, but it took me almost all week!

    Have a lovely day at Goodwood - I have been there a few years ago at the Goodwood revival, we went with our MGs and dressed in 1960's clothes - great fun!
    Love your tidy shelf! Nice collection of cat's eyes!
    Hugs,

    Great tip on the cats eyes - I only have the singles so they live in the little drawer of my round and round on the desk turning thingy (do they call it a tote?)

    Congratulations on the DT :P And what a bargain with the Poundland drawers. May need to pay them a visit.

    Have had a day of trying to get round everyone too... flagging a bit now. Think it may take me a few days as well ;)

    Great storage space for your cats eye. Sometimes it's a good thing to experiment
    Have a nice evening!

    And don't worry don't getting around everyone. I never succeeded that, but still meet so many different people every week. It's supposed to be fun, not stressing yourself out!

    Nice desk and all of those markers. My hand is too heavy to use any markers, need someone to teach me. I just tried to use one and ruined the image. Guess I will stick to my many colored pencils.

    I didn't wish you happy birthday on your birthday post, but read it. I did leave a birthday wish on Monday. Congratulations of being chosen as as DT member. How awesome.

    That's some pretty useful cat's eye storage. The few I have are singles. Never saw them stacked before. Happy belated WOYWW.
