What's on your Workdesk - Wednesday 53


What a great time we all had last week.  It was wonderful having a look at all the different creations.  Well done everybody!
On Saturday, we went to the beach, it was such a lovely day, although it was a bit breezy down by the water!
On Sunday, I was in crafting heaven.  Went to the International Papercraft and Stamp fair in The Corn Exchange in Edinburgh.  It is the first time I have been to that fair, and I must say I was very impressed.  Spent lots of money.  But when you get home it dosn't look much when you lay it all out. 


I was especially pleased, I bought my first ProMarkers.  Have been playing with them ever since.  I just love them.  Here are a few images I have done.



Here's a special doorstop
to sit upon the floor,
it'll brighten up your house no end
and keep an open door.

This  is Fudge my cat. 
I got her from The Xpressions Gift Co.



A selection of my cards and some craftraking cards.

If you are wondering what's going on, pop over to Julia's blog at The Stamping Ground.

Thanks for looking.

  7. ooh some lovely stuff Kathleen - well done on your shopping spree... Thank you for my little Peter Rabbit craftrak card - I hope I can keep it... I recognise quite a few of those craftrak cards on your desk... a couple are what i've had before too.

    Love your doorstopper - I have a very similar one but without legs or arms - I use it everyday to hold my french doors open between my living room and kitchen- he works very hard LOL

    big hugs

  9. it's funny that. It feels like you shop loads and when you unpack the bags it's a feeling of "wasn't it more?" =)

  14. ooo, there is my bunny card :-) I know what you mean about spending loads at fairs and it not seeming much, I spent £100 last time and when I got home thought 'what did I buy'?! I got my first promarkers from a big craft fair too, I love them and am sure you will enjoy them x

  22. Those Peter Rabbit stamps are adorable!

    sadly when you look at crafting purchases you really don't get much for your money, however, the joy and please it brings to you when you use them and others when you give them things you have made truly makes them value for money.....or as the ad says priceless!

    Enjoy your weekend

    hugs Can x
