This week has gone far too quickly, one minute I am cold in my home town, then in the heat and sunshine of the Canaries and then back to what is promising to be a cold spell again coming up. Must say, today has been spring like and quite a beautiful day here in the north. Thank goodness we did not come back to snow. I had to smile on the plane home as several people had travelled back in shorts and flip flops - good job for them it wasn't snowing. Brrr!
Those of you on FaceBook will have seen some of my photos and I hope to upload several onto my blog but for the meantime I have to show you my desk. Because I have been away my birthday presents did not get opened until this morning and there were one or two crafting items amongst them. They are now awaiting me tidying up a bit and putting them away so here they are on my desk. Not staged, honestly, well Chas put them on the desk this morning and I spread them out a bit for the photo so I guess it is staged.
Bottom left you can just see my 'skull scarf' which was with the skull die and stencil and the brown notebook from my friend Mo. The other dies are from Chas who clocked them when I said I liked them at The Works. Good buy - pop along - lots to choose from! The skull with the dragon wrapped around it was from myself before we went away (not birthday); the pink pencil case holds 160 pencils and along with the tan leather pencil case and the Alice in Wonderland Postcards was from my friend Lorraine. The large pink pencil case came direct from Amazon and was gift wrapped beautifully in that grey bag with lovely ribbon ties. A gift in itself.
Well, that is it for this week, I hope to get time to post some 'Carnaval' pictures on my blog another day so do pop back and have a look. In the meantime visit Julia here and see some wonderful desk hoppers.
ps thanks to so many of you who saw it was my birthday on Facebook, for the birthday wishes. It was great to touch down with home when away.
