WOYWW - Birthday post

Well, another year goes by and I give thanks to the Lord for a wonderful life, a great husband, a great job, a beautiful family, a lovely home...I am truly blessed.

In terms of craft...it has finally happened, I've finally, fully moved into my studio.  Since I took this photo, another table has been added...so much work bench space I don't know what to do with myself.

So here it is:

For the record...all the beer stubbies belong to my husband, who is a bit of a Belgian beer connoisseur.


These are my work spaces (there is another table to the right).

Here are some of the latest creations.  A birthday card for a friend.




The card for my Secret Stamper (a swap as part of the Boomerang Stampers Yahoo Group)



And finally, a Thank you card for a special friend.





Well, that's it for today.  Off to work and to eat some birthday cake!

Don't forget to pop in and check out Julia's WOYWW page and thanks for popping by to visit my blog.

Until next time.

;D

POST SCRIPT: Here are the beautiful flowers my husband sent to me at work for my birthday! Spoilt or what?

(don't know why, when even though the image has been rotated prior to inserting, it goes in sideways!  One day it will work right)

    Oh lucky you!! What a fantastic crafty space! I'd have it filled up before you could turn the light on! Can't always comment (the code won't let me, and if I get it wrong too many times I give up!) But today (Hooray!!) some of my missing 'things' like editing icons on my blog have reappeared.. so I'm hoping I can comment to day! (fingers crossed!) Thanks for my snoop! Happy Birthday! Have A lovely Easter and a great crafting week! HaPpY WoYwW!!

      Thanks for your best wishes Sandra...I'm really looking forward to seeing you next week. I'm sure I will recognise you without the WOYWW badge, but it couldn't hurt! lol

      Julia, it is really our garage, which we aren't using as a garage. My husband has a new shed, so he has moved out of the garage and I in. I just have to get a stool to sit on/work from.
      Thanks for stopping by.

    Well I finally know what an ATC is after reading your profile. I didn't like to ask anyone with being a newie to WOYWW.

    Thanks for letting me take a peek at your desk.

    Someone else with a new studio this week. Well done, and have lots of fun in there. Thank you for your visit this week. I still have only one set of nesties, so any other similar shapes will have to be cut out on the Silhouette, but without the embossing bit. Have a good Easter. xx Maggie #9
