NORTH SOUTH DIVIDE - WOYWW

Whilst the south of England has been sweltering in above average temperatures, here in the north west it's been somewhat cooler and as I type, it's raining - again!!
However, I must admit to being able to craft outside for the last 2 days.

That was lovely especially as the breeze was light too so nothing blew away. But, that is now a memory and it's back to having the doors closed and the windows open just enough so that the rain doesn't come in. Hey Ho!
'T' and I decorated the living room over only 2 days last week. My pictures look fine. I've put them on the wall but I still need to work on the borders as some of the paint got under my improvised masking. A job for another day though.

So, I've waffled a bit there and not shown my desk today. Our leader Julia would not be impressed if I don't, so here it is.

Hey hey, bet you didn't expect that. Actually, that's the low bit where the light is bad and where I use my computer. When I'm in the middle of making a project, it's the 'dumping' ground. I always have to keep putting things away so I can search through the next lot. Must have been one of those moments 'cos here is the action.

Under the gorgeous orange velum is a birthday card. Can't show that yet though. The dark craft sheet shows signs of some flowers that I was colouring with paint dabbers outside the other day. Should have cleaned that at once - bad girl. You can also see my latest buy, a set of Lindsay Mason's 'I Dreamed of Castles' stamps. I have plans for these beauties after Lindsay's fabulous samples last Sunday.
OMG!
I've got to share this with you - news as it happens here folk.
Hubby just had a phone call from the hospital. They have booked his operation for  - da da
19 JULY
He's only been waiting since last October!! Ooh! Lindsay, you won't forget your birthday this year eh?
We are jumping for joy now because at last he can get his full health back and our lives back on track.
Yippeeee! What a wonderful WOYWW today is.

WOYWW AND BLOG CANDY WINNER

First of all, after the disappointment yesterday of being advised by the surgeon that whatever he did to 'peg legs' knee would not make any difference, I cheered him up a bit by letting him pick my 'blog candy' winner. Here she is then:

Please email me your address and I will send the 'goodies' off to you. well done.

Back to WOYWW. Don't know what those letters are all about?? Then pop over to our wonderful leader Julia at the Stamping Ground and you will be amazed.
I had so hoped to get to see everyone's desk last week, but failed miserably. I'm not on to a good start this week either as we have only just surfaced following a sleepless Monday night. However, the weather today is really miserable with very bad light, so I may just spend a bit of time on the computer and pop round a few.
I finished my clear out. Just got to label all the boxes. I am meeting my lovely friend Sonia on Sunday and she is taking some of the 'cleared' stash for herself and said she would give something to the NW Ambulance in exchange. Seems a good deal to me.
Another thing I managed to do was move the 4-drawer wheelie thingy full of stamps and my lock-and-lock stacks full of my Tim goodies, away from the radiator and store them in the bottom cupboard.

So much more room now and it's warmer!!

I'm still on with the chunky book pages having only 3 more to do. However, the deadline has been extended by a month so I don't have to rush the last ones. I had my timing planned anyway with everything going on, so the March one was achievable. I may just stick to that one so I can concentrate on something else for a change.

So this is my desk this morning. Not much to see except the corner of the layout for the page I am working on. Don't be fooled by what you see though. I have used that piece of 5"x5" paper for all of them!!
I hope you all have a lovely woyww and enjoy your travels today. Before I make the trip, I'm off to Tim's blog to see what CHA goodies he is showing today. Yesterday was a sneak at his new Alterations..........
