WOYWW: Back to School

Short but bittersweet desk share today (visit our hostess Julia at the Stamping Ground for further links).  The first picture shows what I'd like to be playing with today; my bargain/clearance stash from Hobbycraft last Friday, with a roll of write on black tape from IKEA on Monday. 
The second picture shows what is actually on my desk today, as I have to do some work before I return to work next Monday.  It is the first time my hard drive has been out of my bag this holiday, but as you can see from the To Do List next to it, I have various items that need sorting before next week.
I did manage to visit Mrs D in hospital last week and took her a Get Well card.  She has had rather a game of musical wards (including one move in the middle of the night) since her arrival which is not helping her recovery.  It was great to meet her and Mr D, although I'd have preferred it not to be under those circumstances.  As my parents had a cabin cruiser when I was younger and our family spent most holidays and many weekends on the canals, Mr and Mrs D and I had a little more to talk about than crafting (although the subject did come up of course).  I hope that she is well enough to be discharged soon and that she is pain free and mobile. We have managed to hook up on Facebook at least, so we will be able to keep in touch.  Happy WOYWW everyone!

WOYWW 414: Meeting Face to Face

What a fabulous weekend.  My desk today shows all the crafty stash that I got hold of at Port Sunlight on Saturday.  It was great to meet up with Shaz (and other half Doug) as well as Neet, Cara and Chris.  It was a fantastic day out and I'm sure we'll be meeting up again this time next year.  Thanks to Shaz for emailing me the group photo and to Doug who acted as photographer.  As you can see, my main purchases were Visible Image stamps, Claritystamp stencils and a mix of IndigoBlu items.  I also stocked up on 7"x7" cards and envelopes and picked up one or two extra bits and pieces.  
The Dinky Dragonfly stamp was a prize from a Facebook challenge that I picked up from Kay Halliwell-Sutton at the IndigoBlu stand.  I had taken a couple of journals with me and was so honoured that she took the time to not only look at my winning page 'in the flesh', but all the layouts in both journals.  She was most complimentary and it made my day.  I left after lunch with the WOYWW ladies and was back home in time to listen to the second half of the footie!
Back: Me and Shaz.  Front Lyn, Chris and Neet
Sorry Julia  if this post is a bit long.  If you want to know who and what I'm talking about and why I was so delighted to meet up with these ladies, hop over to The Stamping Ground where our hostess Julia will explain all about WOYWW.
