WOYWW - So much to do, so little time to craft!

Good morning all you lovely WOYWWers and everybody else who comes to visit. Today is a public holiday in South Africa. We are celebrating Human Rights Day and I am off to a local shopping centre to help an organisation called STOP HUNGER NOW to pack some meals, actually I am going to support some of my girls who will be helping on behalf of our school's Charity and Ethos committee .
As you can see, my desk is looking half decent this week. That is because I did clean up after my last fiasco. You will see my newest Cricut cartridge - I am cutting cup cake wrappers like a mad woman (for my daughter who just can't keep up with all the orders she is getting)

I have been insanely busy at school, but I did do some retail therapy. I could not resist the new LaLa Land's Easter collection. They are SO cute. Bought all of them and had to start colouring (between marking essays and tests) I coloured Luka with my beloved Copics and cut him out. He is currently paper hopping and deciding which papers he likes best. I am leaning towards this stripy paper, what do you think?

I might not be able to join all of you next week, because I will be away on our annual Leadership Camp with the girls. If I have time before I leave on Tuesday morning I will try to schedule a post.

In the mean time, Cindy is doing better this week, but going for another chemo sesion next week. Please keep her in your prayers and then another frien of mine's husband had a 12hour operation yesterday to remove a brain tumour. Please keep Rob and Kathy in your prayers too.

Have a fantastic day and don't forget to visit Julia ovet at http://stamping=ground.blogspot.com to see what all the other amazingly talented WOYWWers are up to.

  6. I love your desk and wouldn't mind stopping by to play. I like how so much is right at your fingertips. I second the stripy paper for your little guy. It mimics the strips in his shirt and keeps it boy-ish. Judy #134

  11. At first I was having a terrible time leaving comments on blogs last night. They didn't want to post. NOW I get "service unavailable when I try to leave a comment. This is my third attempt. It's really frustrating. I see others having trouble with MY link, too.

    What a noble event and a PERFECT day to share some real love and respect for human rights. Happy WOYWW from # 7.

  14. Lovely stamp and great colouring! The stripey paper is gorgeous with that stamp, but I wonder if it might be better as an accent layer rather than as much as you've got - too much of a good thing? Maybe if you had some plain blue paper in the lighter of the two blues...?

    Thoughts and prayers are definitely with those who need them....as requested.
