Who Fast Forwarded the whole week??? Anyone else out there thinking that it is Sunday when in reality it is Wednesday again??? Someone took last week and pressed Fast Forward I reckon! Anyways... Happy Wednesday and a brand new WOYWW starts... click HERE to go and see our Julia, the leader of the clan of WOYWW'ers :O)) I have done two pics of the room today, first one is my desk - very untidy and DI's all over the place cos I haven't unpacked their storage yet... and the second one is a close up of my computer desk... complete with all the manuals and instructions books for the gadgets and gizmo's I have... oh and the very first piece of Altered Art I made... a little baccy tin covered in Rob & Bob papers - which was supposed to be for ATC's .. but then it got too small ROFL
Anyways... I have shelves! Yes, Grim was as good as his word and on Friday last he put up loads of shelves for me so I could unpack the last few boxes and get the Baskets of Stamps out... erm... in actual fact, that hasn't happened yet cos my back has gone! Well... not literally gone ...wish it had then I wouldn't be able to feel the beggar paining me!!! ... but you know what I mean... So I have been taking things easy and not doing a right lot at all... which is bugging me cos I really want to get my room sorted! And... on Friday I have to go into hospital so they can stick a metre long *maybe a teensy exageration there* needle into my back - I am having an "epidural" but apparently it won't affect my legs - am DREADING it ... no anaesthetic either... eeeeeks!!!!
So, enough about me and my ailments... *did I mention I have a whiff of a head cold too??? ROFL* and let me tell you what else happens on a Wednesday... Gingersnap Creations have a brand new challenge! This week the challenge is Quotes - and I made a flower... Using Distress Inks and Wendy Vecchi stamps, I did some bleachy stamping by dabbing the background stamp into water and then popping over the DI'd piece... then zapping with the heat gun.
Did I mention before that I am the UK/Europe co-ordinator for the Gingersnaps latest swap? I didn't??? Well, I am co-ordinating the current swap and am making my own flowers to go in the swap... Shar has sorted the template and we literally just download it and then get stuck in.
Right that is enough from me... time for my meds and time for me to try and get at least one box done today! Don't forget to go and say Hi to Julia... and thank you too to all who visited me last week... I reckon I got about 75% of the entrants visited.. hoping to get everyone done this week LOL TTFN

Hi Hels! Lovely to see that you are settling in. So sorry to hear you are struggling with your back again and hope it goes ok on Friday for you. Penny x
Hiya Hels, Oh you sound like you are in the wars! Sure you will be fine on Friday. Having been a Midwife I can reasure you the needle is not a meter long! Still a thought though. Love the desk and view thanks for sharing, Love Hazelxoxo
Good luck in the hospital. Shelves look great. I don't think I'm playing WOYWW this week, but some news and dig playing on my blog
Good luck with the needles! Saw your gingersnap piece this a.m. early - knew it was yours before I saw the name!! Love how your room One 4 (is that right?) is coming together.
Wednesdays for WOYWW and Sundays (for Sunday Stampers, natch!) are my fave days of the week. (crawl, grovel!)
Yay, shelves! :)
Hiya Hels
whoopie for those shelves! it is so nice to have everything completed! they look fab.

Sorry to hear about your back. It's too bad you don't really have the way to enjoy your new room, shelves, and play area. I hope that meter long needle doesn't get you down. Your room is starting to look lived in, at least (or maybe it's things are not put away yet). Happy WOYWW and get better soon.

Lovely art ... Lovely shelves and Lovely to see ya :0) X
I like that thing you've made and its nice that you have been crafting... the room looks like its coming along too... thank god you waited for Grim to do the shelves - or it wouldn't just be an epidural your going in hosp for... anyway - I've had enough of hospitals for the time being - so hope your visit goes well and you are soon out again - sorting those DI's out.
Big hugs
Paula x x x
Gawd Hels, you poor thing. I don't wanna talk bad backs really, it's a horror I'm right with you on. Take care, do what they tell ya.
As for the shelves - yay- but how long before you need more!!
Love the shelves - all so neat and tidy!! Good luck with the epi whatsit - I had one when M was born -it was fine!!!
The room is coming along nicely, don't fret about it! Take care of your back and the room will wait until you are up to it. As for the epidural, I'm sure it's not quite a metre long! Hope it all goes well on Friday x
Your craft looks really well organised - not messy :) The flower is beautiful - love the colours you have used, and also like the wall hangings in your 1st picture -thanks for letting me have a look around :)
forgot to say - hope your back gets better soon - had 2 spinal blocks which went well never thought about the needle length til a friend training to be a doctor commented on how long the needles were :) However don't worry it dosen't feel like you are having a 1m long needle in your back and hopefully it will help :) Good luck.
Your room is looking fabulous Hels! You must be chuffed to bits! Wonder if I can get my Graham to put some shelves up?! Love your flower! Hope all goes as painless as poss on friday hun, will be thinking of you as I trundle up to my artsy(nearly typed something else then! Lol!) weekend. Hugs, Alison xxx
Love the shelves, love the art! Hope you feel better!
Good luck Friday ib the hospital!
Great shelves, my compliments to Mr Grim. ** Kate **
Hey, Hels!
Uncooperative backs can be soooo frustrating! Especially for a creative, busy person like you! As a retired nurse my advice is "be a good patient"! Ha! Seriously, you're in my thoughts and I'm sure all will go well.
Hugs,
kat

Ouch poor you, clearly that polish couldn't have done it any good .... glad to see it's nowhwere to be seen (I have had to have days of therpay getting over the thought that I am supposed to use the stuff!!!)
Many cyber hugs honey for what you have ahead at the hospital....I will be thinking about you. Can you have vodka beforehand to ease the pain?
Looks like you are getting sorted after your house move....I think its been amazing that you have continued to turn out such amazing creations amongst the chaos of moving xxxx
Good luck with the back procedure. Will be thinking of you.

Hi Hels, looking good girl, you will be so happy when it's all unpacked and ready for use. Friday will be fine, I had an epidural in my spine and they do give you a small shot of local anaesthetic so you really don't feel it. Will be thinking of you and a big thank you for the birthday card that arrived this afternoon - love it.
Your room is like and Aladins cave, fabulous. Oh you don't get the scale of the shadow box you did from your blog post, it's gorgeous.
Take care the boxes will get emptied eventually, hugs for Friday hun.

I'm a little late visiting as I have been in the confession box! *Ü* Love the snoop today Hels. It's looking good. I do hope your epidural experience will go well on Friday. I had one with my 2nd daughter as she was a breech birth - feet first!! *OUCH*. I love the flower plaque. TFS. ~Glen~
