Having been on the verge of wondering what this craft lark is all about, I've won an ATC giveaway from the incredibly talented Laura Carson, received some gorgeous, gorgeous pieces from my crafting friends and been asked to help in preparing some pieces for the Stitches trade show at the NEC the weekend after next. How incredible a journey is that??
Have to admit, therefore, that my workspace piccies were taken in the sunshine yesterday.
That's another little buz, my new blog, which is supposed to be launching next Monday, http://craftingpets.blogspot.com/ . A place where crafters can upload photos of their Crafting Buddies every couple of weeks. Now, I was hoping to use Mr Linky but I don't yet know how to use it, plus, I got an email asking for money! I think that was a hacker though. Anyway, watch this space on Monday, or rather, the other one.
I am not sure how many desks I will get round to over the next 2 weeks, so please don't be mad at me if I don't call. Our wonderful leader Julia says, it's the taking part that matters not the getting round everyone - or words to that affect.
I will be travelling down to Newport Pagnell 2 weeks today - yeeeek! - for my once in a lifetime crafting experience with the king of craft himself, Sir Tim and the utter talented duo, Lin and Leandra. I don't think it's hit me yet, but as soon as I have to pack (what on earth is that - packing a bag) I will be a quivering wreck.
Thanks for stopping by today. I'll leave you with a look at a tag made for me by a super friend, willing me out of the blues..........

You could NEVER have the blues with all that's going on in your world right now. How fantastic for you.
BTW, Bleubeard would rather play in a paper bag than with his toys!
Glad things are on the up - and that's a great tag you were sent to cheer you up.

What a good friend you have, to make you such a lovely tag
Thanks for the peek at your desk. You're lucky to have such a crafty friend - wonderful tag.
I had heard that the links were not free anymore. Love the tag that you had from your friend. Bet it put a smile on your face.

Wow, you sound much more positive Joanne, and the NEC work is great - good for you. As for the Linky thing - it is free, go to Blenza.com and register, then you can use - any probs, jolt me awake and I'll try to help!
So good to have friends to help you along when you need them. Life is just full of surprises isn't it? Will look forward to seeing your samples in due course. Used the live in Newport Pagnell... funny to think or Sir Tim visiting!

glad you've gone from blue to rosy. This has been a bad season for a lot of people. Looking forward to when the cat emerges from the bag.
The one thing you don't seem to do Joanne is 'stand still'. Your crafting has really grown and that is such a marvellous achievement.
Thanks for popping by earlier!
Very nice pics of your work place and stash. I love all the colors and mediums. Enjoy your trip!
