... Cor blimey, Wednesday already and I am the first to admit that this past week has passed by ever so quickly and, again, I have got absolutely nothing creative to show you. It has been one of those horrible weeks so I do apologise for not being able to visit many of the wonderful peeps that join in the phenomenon that is What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday... which, BTW, if you haven't happened across before, it a mahooosive desk hop around the crafty bloggers of the world and is hosted by Julia... for all the deets and info etc, CLICK HERE and you will be whizzed off on the back of a big umbrella (yep...raining outside) to her blog.
So... my desk this week. Nothing creative apart from my unfinished workshop canvas from Sunday's class *more of that tomorrow though*. But... lots of goodies to spy... starting with a rubber pressie from lovely Caz, a set of Studio 490 stamps that I had been oggling for yonks... bless her, what a kind friend she is (more about that tomorrow too). Also featuring is a gorgeous set of Basic Grey papers and some tissue flowers to match from Ellen... all the way from America (along with the requisite Cheesy Chester Cheeto's, ooh and some delish Bath & Body Works smellies and Dove choccy for Grim) Check out that little baggie with the green looking things in.... those are some little lampposts (they are for model railways I think) which will be perfect for altering... cuteness or what! And then you will see a Trinket Case, which is a gift from Wendy... I have been longing for one of these for about 382 years... I haven't filled it up yet... am too busy stroking it! So... a big and very heartfelt thank you to my lovely friends who really know how to pick me up and make me smile big. You know what? I am so lucky and I really do appreciate that a blinking good friend is someone to hold onto and cherish... to me, my friends are my family (I shall stop now before I start blubbing lol)
You may have spied something else rubbery sitting there on the desk... still uninked too! AlfieCat is ever such a clever little fella and he sent me off on Sunday morning with a strict instruction to get some of the new Tim stamps from him, for me, for Mother's Day. Now, I know it isn't til March 18th (UK) but he is such an understanding little furbaby, he knew I would have to have them straight away.... clever puddytat eh? Oh and... there's another set of Tim stamps that fell into my basket... well, they are the ones with the train on... I couldn't not get those now could I? I have a little project in mind for them that I am hoping to be able to crack on with later today... Actually, I did stand there with all of the new sets in my inkymits and found it really hard to chose... so I went for the words (from Alf) and the train (from me lol) but still have the others on my wishlist (especially those diddy ones, I love the diddy ones... oh and the hot air balloon one... need that one too!)
Anyways... tis late... so it is, as Zebedee used to say.... Time for Bed! Thanks for looking... I promise to be a bit more chatty this week and make sure I get around to see lots of you WOYWW-er's... oh and to have something creative to show you soon too! Like tomorrow! TTFN

Hi there, I'm up at silly o clock so wandering around a bit and thought I'd say hi. I have the balloon set of Tim's and love it. I tossed for it or the train and the train lost (for now) I hope you have a good and creative week.

Wow, such a lot of new goodies... can't wait to see what you do with all those stamps! I have been good (so far).
So much great stuff there to spy on and your desk is looking good and reasonably tidy too. There's always something to be desired on everyone else's desk!
love JoZarty x
looking forward to seeing all your creations Hels :) lainey x
What lovely presents you lucky lady. Were you in need of cheering up?
I've gone for the wood background from Tim, it would have been rude not to!

sorry you've had a horridigable week,[my brothers word when he was 3].
presents from cats though, genius idea, must drop a hint in a little furry ear...........xxx
Hi Hels what a great Mother's day pressie, looks like you are going to have lots if inky fun. Thanks for sharing and happy WOYWW, Erika.
Everyday is mother's day so perfectly fine to purchase gifts for oneself. Love how you are keeping the work area tidy.
I just knew you wouldn't resist the train stamps. I saw Tim's sample made with them and it was fantastic. Can't wait to see yours now.
Hugs Joanne xx
Have fun with your new play things ;)
Don't know why but most of the new T!m release did not float my boat....ooh er...wash my mouth out with soap and water!! HOL

Fab trinket box but methinks you may need a set of ten for your Idea-ology stash!!! Loving the new rubber - hope it will fire up your mojo and transport you back into a much inkier, nicer week and crafty mood. It's OK to be knackered after all the workshops and all your C&C stuff - doing nowt is also an art (learning that myself). Take care of yourself as well as the clean room!
Thanks for sharing with WOYWW? Sarah
Look at those goodies! Great space too. Take care, enjoy this WOYWW & I'm off to snoop some more! Wonder how many I'll get round today? Zo xx 60
Hi Hels, like your thinking ... now what is my furbaby planning to surprise me with for Mother's Day :) Hope you are having a good WOYWW. Elizabeth x #22

Thanks for sharing.

Oh, lots of lovely goodness on your desk-especially nice stamps. Dani33
I'm impressed that the desk is still tidy!!! Am going to get the camera out in a mo and put a piccie up!
Good friends deserve a treat now and then to show how much they're valued so Saturday was your "now" time!!
Enjoy playing with your pressies!!!
Big hugs
xxxxx
New stamps are the most fun!

Ok, I get the delish pressies, and am a bit jelly, but you do deserve them. I don't see Cheetos, but I don't know what I'm looking for actually! But what I do see is a large jar full of clear fluid....are you preserving something???!!!
I realize I am really late getting here, especially since I am #2. But I have had a terrible time keeping my computer running today. Seems it wants to shut down after I visit one blog.
Alfie cat is much nicer than Bleubeard. Now thoughtful of him. Of course, Mother's Day in the US isn't until May, so he may have a bit of time. Lucky YOU!!
Happy WOYWW.
Lots of goodies on your desk! Oh my a girl could go crazy with fun! Warmly, Tracy #96
Always love a peek at your room
Ooh, lovely new goodies you have there! Your cat is soooo smart!
Wait, I think my dogs are trying to tell ME something too, lol!
xoxo Karen #179 (yes, very late this week)
Lots of lovely crafty stash and stuff to alter too! Oh my, you are a lucky girl!
Looks like AlfieCat spoiled his mummy! Have fun playing with all those new goodies.
Now I wonder if our two dogs would like to give me some crafting goodies for Mothering Sunday. I suspect I might not get away with that idea. Sorry I am so late getting round this week, in spite of being No 8. The garden is starting to take time to prepare everything, a different sort of crafting, but no broadband in the greenhouse. Have a good week. xx Maggie #8
Love all of the shelves over your desk and every thing so organized. I really want some of those new stamps, maybe I should get me a dog who will buy me some. Great space. #36
Howdy,
