What's On Your Workdesk?

What a great idea! It seems there are hundreds of us crafters out there who all share one thing in common - a bursting craft space! Head on over to Stamping Ground and take a look at all those fantastically creative spaces that have been linked for WOYWW. I love how we all seem to keep adding to our work spaces until there really isn't any room left to craft, that last inch has been taken up with the latest project or product to use, then - and only then - do we take the time to have a bit of a tidy up before starting all over again. I must confess that my space never seems to stay tidy for more than about 30mins before it all starts creeping back out again!                                     

I really am at that point where I need to have a mass clear up! If nothing else, just so I can see what I actually have on there, and make room for a couple of larger projects I have to finish!

SNOW DAY!!!!!

Well what a day - I did get my snow day, but not before I got up, got ready and left for work - then on the way there got the message that the school had been shut for the day! So turned around and came home where the fun began.....

I could not get the car back up the driveway!! I had to enlist the help of friends to dig out the driveway enough to get a grip with the tyres and back up it! In doing so I lost my grip and slid down the drive on my rear - it was so funny, but thankfully there were no cameras out at that point! We managed clearing it eventually and I got the car safely back up, but by then it had started to snow again, and has not stopped all day! I went for a walk around my neighbourhood, as I am close to the woods and farmland, and got some great shots to share with you. My cat Hugo even ventured out for a spell, which is unheard of! He hates the feel of the snow clinging to his paws, but he managed it long enough for a couple of poses.

I hope those of you in the UK enjoyed your day and either got to and from work safely or enjoyed a snow day too. I bet those of you from the States, Netherlands or other climates used to all this snow are thinking - a little snow and you all go crazy!!! But we rarely get a decent amount of snow, so we make the most of it when we can, I am sure I will be fed up of it soon.... Enjoy the photos. x x

Halloween Escapades

I didn't get a chance to post yesterday, doing a lot of running around, and prepping for a fantastic night out - a fancy dress scrapping evening hosted by Julie and Karen of Scrapbook Sisters!!! Not that we did much scrapping - rather spending most of the evening in fits of laughter, eating a fantastic meal, doing challenges, and generally having a good gossip. Here is a group photo of us all:

And to finish the parade, two very special all black witches cats.....

Thank you all for a wonderful time.....

Skools Out for Summer.......

The end of term finally arrived........ now to deal with the clearing up, final planning for the new year, resourcing new projects and eventually taking some time out to be creative!!!

I will eventually get the time to go out and about to get new inspiration. But for now, some inspiration I had over this last year came from a visit to Kew Gardens to see the Henry Moore Sculptures in situ.

It was a fantastic day out, and the sculptures looked amazing in the setting of Kew. A few of my many shots are below:
