WOYWW #225 An early birthday gift...


Hello and Happy WOYWW to you all - Weds already and not a single post from me..tut tut.
For those of you that don't know what WOYWW is, pop over to meet Julia and the gang at her blog Stamping Ground for our weekly global desk nose.

Ok, so let's do my desk first and birthday gifts last..so that Julia doesn't tell me off :)

My desk is a hectic hub..you can see...new Pink Petticoat images printed ready for colouring, thank you cards for my bday, a few cards made and ready to post, my beloved trimmer, glasses, bone creaser, tape and a million other things. This is a different view of my desk you get to see ALL of my messy space..

As most of you know I am turning 40 on Saturday and there is still time for you to click on the image to the right of my blog and sign up for 40 for 40.

I have had 2 early birthday gifts...the first being a beautiful backgammon set from JT's parents..Hubby and I spent the weekend with them, they are a hoot. We went to Philly and I ran up the Art Museum steps...just like Stallone in the Rocky films..only I did it in 3 inch gold wedges...

The second is that I have got my first DT position!! I am overjoyed and thrilled to be joining Moving Along With The Times...run by Hazel in Scotland..I start next week - EEK!! Check out the shiny new DT badge on my sidebar..

Final pics are of the x2 cards that are made and on my desk...

Thank You - stenciled birdcage

The Eiffel Tower ones are to say thank you to the neighbour that hosted Dr Kevin's dinner a couple of weeks ago.

Lemon (my Bestie) arrives tonight and I am so excited to see her! 5 months is too long to be apart...she's my wife...

We are off to Atlantic City this weekend to celebrate with Hubby, his bestie Polly (who is in town for a conference), Lemon and our new NYC friend Hari.

I'm off to look at desks now as I have just walked in from work (it's Weds AM here in NYC) then to bed...

    Eat your heart out, Rocky! I know Stallone couldn't do that in 3-inch gold wedgies. So exciting for your design team position. That's so neat. I'm sure you'll have lots of fun with it. Happy Birthday to you! Enjoy your day on Saturday!!

    Many congratulations on the DT gig, it's so exciting to be chosen. Many Happy Returns for the weekend. If I tried to run up those steps I'd need oxygen at the top!! Hugs Pam#34
