Happy International Women's Day

What better way to celebrate International Women's Day than entering a Kenny K challenge this week - #133 Lace and Pearls.

I have spent most of the week looking around the craft room for lace...to no avail. Then yesterday I was out and came across this amazing tape, which totally looks like lace!

The main photo (slightly blurry...) is my entry - using the Jayne Jettpack stamp that I won in a Kenny K challenge. I coloured her with Promarkers and added some glitter glue for standout. 

It's a bit of an unusual thank you, but I like it!

Here's a close-up so you can see the tape.

Love the lace tape!

Have a happy weekend everyone, I will be mostly 'doing' Mother's Day this weekend with Ma and my MIL.

WOYWW 194 - Having a great time

Hello and happy WOYWW to you all.

Pop over to visit Julia at Stamping Ground if you don't know what I am talking about.

So what's on my desk. Well I literally just took this photo (10.10am), so what you can see is what I left there after a hard day's craft. My glasses, tweezers, an order to fulfil, glitter as I am trying out a tip from Alison Scott - a fellow WOYWWer whose blog I like. My Promarker chart and a wallet of Promarkers, the trusty ATG, a roll of double sided tape - to stick down giant Dinosaurs (I'll explain next week), a shark card - which I love and is for an order and I drew the shark on my computer. There are bits of scrap paper, a few stray markers, punches, glues and you can see my desk recycling bin - that I finally emptied last week...doesn't look like it. The crab die-cut I got out to make myself laugh..crabbymoose...

As you know I went to my Nephew's 2nd birthday party last week, all Thomas the Tank Engine themed, so I offered to make train themed thank you cards for my SIL. Here is a pic -

Made using a Lettering Delights alphabet - cute right?

Also here is a pic of Otis and I on his birthday..ha ha

I am filling x3 rather large orders at the moment. One is for my fave customer Kathryn, she is so unfussy and is happy with whatever I give her. It makes her orders fun for me :)

I am finally having some fun with being at home, not feeling guilty for not working and it's nice. I have nice things planned for the rest of the week - LFW tomorrow, out with my Goddaughter on Friday and then over to JT's for Gin, Curry and a mini playdate. It will be nice to have human contact in daylight hours :)

I am off on a little errand run today, as I haven't left the house for 2 days, I thought I'd go all out today, but first I'm going to have a little peek at some desks.

Random question...if you are a WOYWWer do you visit the same desks first every week? I do :)

Powerless to resist...

I saw these on the Cowling & Wilcox website and had to have them. So went in to town early before JT's birthday dinner and went into a store to buy them.

They are gorgeous and I am so full of joy at having them. I was going to show an actual photo of them on my desk, but Mr Pentax needs charging...

Massive treat, but they were reduced from £70.00 to £29.99!!

Powerless...

Oh and big news I won a challenge - YAY!! I won #129 over at KennyK's Challenge blog - you can see my entry here - check out my new winners badge on my sidebar.

Ooh as an early Anniversary present, Hubby bought me 4 sets of Letraset Promarkers! What a lovely gift and they are so delicious I could eat them.

I tried them out with a pretty stamp and they work so well, they make my colouring in, look really professional. I think I will use them to make all our Christmas thank you's. It will be a nice project after the intense Christmas period.
The colours are fab and the 4 sets I have cover a wide spectrum of colour, but I am now going to become totally addicted, as I am convinced I am going to want quite a few more of the colours!

Uh oh here comes another obsession, they come in so many colours and Letraset naughtily supply a colour chart with each set and so now I can see all the other glorious colours and I WANT THEM!

So today's picture is a nicely geeky one courtesy of the ink'n'rubba blog, I love this blog and want to thank Annie, as I love her blog and this chart is a great idea - I have seen quite a few other people do this, but not as well and it is a really good idea to create your own chart, using your own Letraset Promarkers or Copic, as I believe that some people use both, so they can find exactly the colour they want.

Enjoy! I am off to scour the internet for the best price on promarkers!

P.s Letraset if you are reading, I'd quite like the cool grey set - thanks!
