Well - what ain't on my desk is a better question...and if it ain't on my desk, then its all over the floor, or piled on the chair or spread across the landing, or in that crate....seems to be everywhere. This week you find me amongst the wonders of workshop prepping. I had said that I would be teaching my first ever workshop, so my craft room is a torrent of kits, crates, plans, pots and a wee bit of nail-biting...I think I have even packed the kitchen sink - that's down to my "you never know attitude".
The other side of my room has been taken over by the kits. I am putting everything they need in one bag so that they can also finish off at home. I really enjoyed doing this bit actually and they do make such a nice photo. I wouldn't fancy doing 100 of the things though. I always love getting my first bag of goodies at a workshop - almost as good as sweeties!
In between all of this I am also dabbling with my own Christmas card ideas - and no I haven't started yet - the month still begins with an N!
Just been playing around with some patchwork ideas or maybe I just love faffing around with pretty papers and my square punch too much...
Hope you all have a good WOYWW - will try to get around to you all again - which all depends entirely upon on Mother Nature. I am living minute to minute as my sister is about to have a baby and I am going to be there! And as if that wasn't enough frivolity for one week - I will be 40 on Saturday. Yes - it's all go at this funny farm, I can tell you. So, there could be just about anything on my desk next week! Time will reveal all. Toodle-pip for now,

had a good zoom in and really love the look of your kits - and agree, goodie bags from whatever event are just like sweets - only better for you LOL...
Wow, 40 on Saturday - you would have been in the same school year as me then as I'm the big four 0 in March... mixed feelings about it though. Have a jolly good Birthday and hope your celebrations are fitting for the ocassion!!!

Your kits look fab, hope your workshop goes well. I'm sure it will.
Loving the new camera - we have a big scary Canon DSLR thing that I'm still struggling to figure out! I'm still using the full auto mode, d'oh!

Your workshop designs look lovely and the kits do make a great photo, don't they? I like the look of them all lined up. Do you make a bag up of spares like I do? Someone always loses their bit of ribbon or their brads and swears it was never in there... so its handy to have a couple of extras!
Hope you have a fabby 40th this Saturday and good luck on the new baby front too! Annette #58
Good luck with the workshop, you look ready.
Looks like you are gonna be busy!

Gosh, never had you pegged as being around my age - thought you were WAY younger than me, not older! (and not by much I hasten to add!)
Good luck with everything - the workshop, the cards, the baby-attending and your birthday! hope it's a fab weekend....
Looks like everything is gonna be great! Hope you have fun and that the baby arrives before the workshop! Love the fancy new camera! Have a great birthday, 40 is a GREAT age!

Ah you have a big week ahead, how exciting! Love the look of all the kits - am sure it will go really well, don't be nervous! The patchwork paper idea is lovely, as are the paper choices, your cards will be fab.
Great desk. Good luck with the workshop S #12
Even though I can't see it, I love love love your chaos. Makes me feel better about mine (selfish, I know...) Hope your workshop went well. How could it not? Happy WOYWW and good luck with your soon-to-be "aunt" status!
*smile*
Hope th workshop went well - it should have done as you were so organised. Best wishes for your sister x Hazel #100
Oooh that looks chaotic but very intruiging! Happy WYOWW and good luck with the workshop! :)
Haven't quite managed to spread out onto the landing yet but time will tell. Desk, chair and floor are all in use at the moment though.
Perhaps there will be a picy of the new baby on your desk next week. Good luck with your workshop. Did you remember the cookies!!!!
ooh do hope Sis delivers before or after your class -and not during!
those kits look very very interesting,
Congrats on the big 40 , next year I shall be on the far side of half way to the graceful gazelle like slide towards 50 I have to confess once had two decades under my belt each batch of five and ten years has just shot past whilst I kept thinking - nah not old yet surely.....and I'm sure a year goes in ten months now 'cos it cannot be 11 months since the last Christmas time?
Dx
The cards look lovely and the kits delicious. The pictures really are wonderful. There is still more days in the month then there are gone. I had hopes of finishing my cards in September, lol oh well.

Sounds like you are having a really fun week! Good luck with the workshop - I run some here in the Midlands and I love every minute of it. Good luck with the baby too and enjoy turning 40! Thanks for commenting on my blog last week - sorry I didnt get back to you but it was one of those weeks! (no.45)
Sasa,
It's bad enough that I am running late, then I have been plagued with that pesky 503 error all night. Just wanted to drop in and let you know I was here this week.
Looks like I missed your birthday. Hope it was great.
