No way, how can another week have gone by so darn quickly!!!! Only got a chance to get to visit about half the group....Really enjoyed the visits I could manage.  Thanks to all those that stopped by and left comments.  

Hopefully we don't have another power failure and  I will be able to post this.   High winds and lots of rain...yikes.

Here's my workspace, its crazy  gotta get cracken, I hear thunder.... What we won't do to feed this wonderful addiction that Julia at The Stamping Ground has created...

Pretty sure this is the first time my Cricut, Gypsy and Crafter's Companion have come out to play for WOYWW.   You know how it is, that darn HSN had such good deals.  Just had to have em..lol Have a great WOYWW everyone, can't wait to go on blog about to see whats on yours!

What's on Your Workdesk Wednesday? #92

Can't believe it's Wednesday again!  and time for another WOYWW at Julia's The Stamping Ground.  My how the weeks are flying by.  I had so much fun visiting loads of blogs last week.  Think I visited over two thirds of the group,  didn't get a chance to comment on them all.  A big thank you for all that paid me a visit and all the great comments. 

For those of you that were intrigued by the "Baby Oil" and colored pencil blending technique check out "You Tube".  There are lots of tutorials for it.  It may not say baby oil, but you can use it instead of some of the other more expensive mediums.  Wonderful to know that kitchen oils work great too.  They just may not smell as good.  I have added a few of the projects that I tried this on. 

My workspace has been invaded by my daughter and little grand kids.  They all love to create with Nana...lol  They come over any time  of the day or night and want to make stuff...  I love it.    . 

My daughter is 6 months pregnant and on the floor looking thru my paper packs.  I had to move out of the way, I had been sitting on  the bench next to my grand daughter searching for digis on my laptop.The next  pics are the projects I created with my pencils and baby oil.  The Leprechaun one I used a qtip to blend with and the Fairy one I used a paint brush. 

 

Thanks so much for stopping by and looking, can't wait to go on Blog-about and see What's on your Workdesk!

What's on your Workdesk Wednesday? #91

OMGosh, I can't believe that it has been two weeks since I was able to join in with WOYWW at Julia's Stamping Ground!  Ugg....needless to say I have had major withdrawals...lol  It's hard to believe how much I really missed visiting everyone. 

 I sorta missed my goal of visiting everyone with #88.  What can I say, I have been a little overwhelmed with other blogging obligations and life has been a little crazy too...lmao.   I will do my best to visit as many as I can because I really enjoy it.  It's so much fun to visit, everyone always has so many wonderful creations, news and just goodies to share...I love it. 

Who knows maybe things will settle in soon and I will be able to visit everyone again.   One can only hope.  Can't remember whose  blog I saw these awesome Copic storage.  She had a wonderful link to them.  Of course I can't find the link at this moment.    Not sure if you can see them in my pic.  They are fantastic....Thanks!!!

As you can see from my pic I have been busy creating.  The card I just finished will get a redo...Yippee for undo, I don't like the color of the cardstock I used.  I have another project on the right that's almost done.  My area seems a little less cluttered and cleaner than usual.  I know it's not really my style.  I really thrive in a messy space.  The little horde (my grand kids) where over and we all crafted soI had to clean up a little...rofl   Yes that's baby oil on my desk, using it with colored pencils.  Works pretty good too.

A big thank you to all of you that came by to visit and leave a sweet comment last time. Can't wait to see What's on your Workdesk! Oops almost forgot, my blog candy is still on if anyone is interested. The link is on my sidebar.

Hugs, Marjo
