WOYWW - Can you say active?

 Good morning all! It is cold and very misty in Boksburg, but who cares? I am on holiday!! I can stay snug in my little bed untill it is warmer and read my book. or I could get up, make coffe and start playing in my play room, as long as I don't have to clean firs, all is OK! My desk is still looking like a war zone and there is no sign that its going to get any better, I am having way too much fun. In fact, Ihave had so much fun, I am finding it difficult to find enough clear space to work. LOL

  No worries, I will just pick up and spill over to the lolunge, there is still lots of space on the couch. As you can see, I had to move to put all the cards I made into baggies. Those of you that have very sharp eyes will spot my new Gina K StampTV kit that arrived yesterday on my desk as well as some lovely new goodies I discovered in my basket when I went to buy small baggies for the smaller cards I made. Nasty habit these things have of jumping into the basket when no one is looking.
 I did have to play with my new stamps too and this is what I did. I was inspired ny a video on Stamp TV to make my own background paper and I must say, I really like the result. It still needs some work, but I like where its going.
Apart from making loads of cards, I have also knitted a jersey for the new member of our family, a doll called Angela. Julia, our leader at WOYWW was one of many fooled by the picture I put on Facebook of my 'new' grandchild. She looks so real, it is actually quite freaky. I also found the softest fabric in the local store and just had to have it, I made blankies for all my grandies and apparently they all love theirs and Liam even took his to school this morning..1 Sorry, no pics, they were claimed as soon as the sewing machine stopped working. LOL
Hope you all have a wonderful productive week, I am climbing back in bed with my coffee and my book right now.

  6. Hi there. Thanks for the peek into your creative world. You've been busy! I love making my own background papers. Finding space to craft on a desk is a common affliction, stuff just seems to grow and take over the space.

    Your crafting space is just waiting for you to jump right in. Hmm, which won out? Lounging in bed or getting up to play? I'd go for lounging myself.

  33. That card is fabulous, you did such a great job on the background. I love those flowers. It's so good to see other desks full of things as mine is always that way too.
    Thanks so much for telling me about the name FRED for computers, mine is definitely a Fred!!
    I'm still laughing. You are a no reply blogger so I couldn't send you a private reply, sorry.
    Have a great week, I'm hoping Fred will be fixed by next wednesday :)

  37. Being on holiday, lounging in bed, and drinking coffee sound like HEAVEN to me. You sure have a bunch of cards. I think I've made about four cards in my life. Seriously!

    I prefer to make my own background paper, and what you made is superb. The combination of colors is divine.

    Thanks so much for welcoming me back. Now you know why I was so quiet. And sadly, I'm a bit late getting here, too. Happy belated WOYWW from #7.

  43. Weird. I had typed a sentence, took a breath, and the screen hiccupped and my sentence was gone. Goblins about, I hope not. I hope this one finds its way ... you have much wonderful eye candy for this visit and I see that you are sprawling about with all your beautiful cards. The one you've shown where you made your own background paper is very gorj!!

    Thank you for coming to visit me, Tertia. I'm so late getting around! Enjoy the bit of week that's left until the next WOYWW!! Darnell #52
