WOYWW 29th September....

 It's that time of the week again.... when we pop along to Julia's and check out the ever growing list of desks that are unveiled for our midweek perusal.  I was sick with infected sinuses last week and didn't make it around to half the desks I should have, but I am feeling better now and even managed to finish some of the scrapping that has been laid on my desk for the last five days or so!
So this is my desk early on this Wednesday morning... very early for me, probably a bit late for everyone else!  Its just 5 a.m. but the two cats decided that they had been asleep and very quiet for as long as they possibly could be and would I now please get up and feed them and amuse them and play run up and down the stairs with them.... hmmmm, both are very lucky to still have fur.... LOL
This is the second of the chipboard Graphic 45 pieces, finished at last!  I think I will put them on the wall in the scrap room and see what they look like. 
You may be able to see this little pile of inked ephemera on my desk... they are perfect for mini books and playing about and I have to thank Scraptherapy  for her generosity in giving them away.  I just print a page of them out ink them all up and leave them in a little pile on the desk so that they are there when the muse takes me! :)

This is what is behind my work desk this morning.... Pandora, sitting in my UFO box (UnFinished Objects Box)... not sure what project she is sitting on or whether it will actually be worth getting out once she has done flattening it!
I am still awaiting the UPS man with my parcel containing my new Zutter toys.... I stayed in all day Monday and all day yesterday but he never showed up... I am going out this morning so guess what?  Yep, he is sure to knock on my door five minutes after I drive off!!  
Update on parcel.... I am spitting feathers because I just went over the road (literally over the road from my front door) and checked my mail box and there inside is a little ticket saying to go to the local post office and collect my parcel!!  Eh?  Too darn lazy to walk across the road and knock on my door?  Pfffft! $52 for postage and packing and it doesn't even warrant a walk across the street?  I am madder than a wet hen!  Chris took the car this morning so I can't go and get it till he comes home from work now..... :(

  1. Cute kitty! Haha - my dogs looked at me like I was crazy this morning when I got up at 5:30 to study. They promptly fell back asleep while I made the coffee :) Love your desk and your art! Happy WOYWW! K

  20. I cannot believe the cost of postage. That would be more than the cost of the equipment, I would think. I have that same trouble with USPS, our govt sponsored "private" mail service. No matter the inconvenience, if they leave a note, you have to pick it up. That's why I don't order anything through the mail. And now that I see what you paid in postage, I never will, either.

    I was wondering how Tom Tom and Pandora are doing in their new digs. Now I see they are getting on quite well.

    I see you finished the wall hanging. Love it. Happy WOYWW. Sorry I'm so late getting here. I had to reboot my computer three times and have had no energy to struggle with the problems. I hope it was a great Wednesday and you get your package tomorrow. Also hope your allergies are better.

  23. Drooling over the ephemera here and the brilliantly named "chipboard vixen". I think I need a UFO box, but it might be rather larger!

  26. Glad to see from later posts that you eventually got your parcel - lucky you! Posties can be a nightmare sometimes - I have a few complaints to that end too. Your work is looking fab.

  27. Fortunately my postie is very good, but my friend down the road ordered some expensive books for her daughter and gave the school as an alternative address. It was a Saturday when they turned up, so postie went to the school and tried to cram the parcel into a post box that was clearly too small for it, and left it there all weekend until it was saturated. At least my postie knows the school is SHUT on a Saturday.....enjoy your toys, by the way! Helen (16)

Thank you for taking the time to leave your comment, it is truly appreciated - sort of confirms that it is more than my Mum and husband that read this thing! :)
