So my desk is a picture of yesterday, Tuesday spent madly catching up with card class prep as he did make it back to school today after all. What a mess you see before you!
Remnants of card making and tag making everywhere and definitely no time spent tidying as I go... As if! You will be pleased to know I have spared your blushes and mine by angling my shot so you can't see my not so smalls drying on the radiator....did I really disclose that ;-D
Here is the shot of what I have ready so far for my class on Friday. Three of these designs are responsible for the mess above! I know they look like butter wouldn't melt. One more card design to go so I should get that done today. I had a bit of a brainwave and decided to make more card samples than the usual two of each - my class will like that and then I can put them all towards my Christmas Cards that I need for this year so I will have 24 cards completed today and the same amount next month ....why didn't I think of this last year??????
I'm off to bed and will be up soon to help Cal get ready for school - He is doing really well but needs a bit of help here and there - He is really glad to be getting out of walking the dog and scooping the poop!!..........I guess that'll be my job too then.
Sorry to everyone that I didn't get back to last week - I will do better this week - Touch Wood!
Happy WOWWY everyone....... and if you have no idea what I have been talking about and why then follow this link to Julia's to find out what a happy place WOYWW Land is.
Laters!
Helen, I am so sad to hear about your son's injury. That must have been stressful to say the least. I hope he feels well soon.
ReplyDeleteNow on to you, girlfriend, you rock! You are crankin' out the cards. Something I am hoping will happen once these boys of mine scoot off to school again. Love your stuff.
Please continue to share because it motivates me to keep on.
Come play on my desk if you have time.

I hope your son heals quickly.
ReplyDeleteWow! You have been really busy. The cards look awesome!
Well I hope that Cal heals quickly so he can get back to walking and scooping soon! lol Your cards for the class looks wonderful and superb idea making several now to use at Christmas! Very smart indeed.waving hi from the hills of North Carolina :)
ReplyDeleteHope your cheeky son mends quickly, nothing worse than having to pick up doggy doo. I love all the things on your desk, it's a work of art in itself. Boy have you made some things this week, wish I could be that organised.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week.

sorry to hear about your son , poor thing..hope he isnt too uncomfortable and heals quickly! the cards look fab, very organised! have a creative week trace x #61
ReplyDeleteYep definitely think missing out on the dog stuff would be a good reason for the mishap. Getting out of school just doean't happen much does it really! Your messy desk is so colourful, I found it quite relaxing and well done on the cards and extra ones too. BJ#63
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear about your Son, not one side but two, I think you may have your hands full for a bit, hope he mends soon.
ReplyDeleteAt least you have something to show for your mess, lol, all I have is a head hung in shame..........Happy WOYWW, Anne x #47
Knickers! Not the ones on your radiator, safely hidden from view, but what I said when I read about your brave boy's accident. Hope the pain has gone now and that you are spoiling him a bit.

Good grief, poor Cal...one wrong flick, hope he heals really fast and gets 'back on the horse' without a problem! Oh the stress to the heart when you get the call, poor you. Loving the cards, it's a great idea..I get sick of the sight of my workshop cards and end up making more....I should stick to my guns!
ReplyDeleteHelen, so sorry for Cal, to damage both arms is really bad. Hope mends quickly. Love all of the wonderful cards. Maybe I should work that way. I have not even started on mine yet. #33
ReplyDeleteWith a selection of cards like that, the mess can be forgiven.. had to chuckle at the smalls comment lol
ReplyDeleteHope Cal is mending quickly x
Happy Wednesday

I'm not surprised you have a lot of stuff out with all those cards you have been making. I love the designs. Hope the class goes well on Friday.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about your son. I have spent many hours in the gallery at Lilleshall, watching my son's gymnastics classes. It always amazed me that there weren't more accidents. i hope cat mends quickly.

No wonder you never got round last week. I remember the days when I had to go to hospital for sports injuries. Very scary for mom, but the child seemed to be back at sports almost immediately.
ReplyDeleteLovely cards.
Happy WOYWW!

All your tags look like so much fun. I have some tag/ATC's for this weeks WOYWW. You came over but I make a mistake with the linking and it went to a WOYWW from 2weeks ago. My bottlecaps were sealed with "glossy accents". Thanks for checking in and asking :) We used them as embellishments too and love them! Lisa
ReplyDeleteHello Helen, thanks for visiting earlier, I'm a bit late replying to everyone as not feeling well with a sore throat.
ReplyDeleteLook a messy desk is a creative desk - that's why mine is so tidy lol. Love all the cards you've made.
Cheers, Elaine #24
Oh Helen...SO SORRY to hear about your son. That must have been terrifying. It's so hard when something like that happens to one of our children. Wishes for the speediest of recoveries.
ReplyDeleteYour cards are STUNNING!!!!! Tutorials for those of us who live too far away to make it to classes??? Like those of us who live in other countries!!)
