WOYWW 8th September

I actually have some scrapping on my work desk today!!  A couple of pages from my Learn Something New Every Day project... though as always I am lagging behind and appear not to be learning something new every day!!  I will persevere for a while and hope that it begins to come together into something a little more cohesive as the days go by!!
When we went for the one dollar breakfast at Ikea last weekend I managed to pick up the canvas boxes for the Expedits - they have been out of stock for the last 3 weeks, so now at least all the piles of stuff on the shelves are sorted and looking a bit tidier.


I wasn't sure what colour to go with the black and white theme in the scrap room so I have gone for all three!!  It actually works quite well as my tools are mix of lovely pink ones and the aqua blue colour.


I'm afraid I am one of these people that if a tool is available in pink then I will buy it... but if I already have it in the blue... so be it, that is the way it is!!


This one is for my Mum, who likes to check my blog to see what I have been up to... so here is Christopher Mum!! He has managed to sort the blue ray DVD player, updated my computer, connected all sorts of stuff and got things working.... not sure what will happen when he leaves, as I won't have a clue how any of it works!


The lovely Toni gave me an award! :)  As a recipient of the award, I have to:

1.Thank the person who gave me the award - thank you Toni, it was lovely of you to think of me. 
2.Place it on my blog - done!
3.List 3 things about myself. Hmmmm, trying to think of some things that would be worth reading... this could definitely take some thinking about...
1.  I am English!  I have a home in Scotland as a permanent base and lots of people think I am Scottish. I tend to be in different countries due to DH's work.
2.  I was 42 when I got my BA Honours degree.  It was hard to go back into full time education so late in the day but worth the effort to prove to myself that I could do it.
3.  All 3 of my brothers are colour blind but I am not. It's a genetic thing that only occurs in males but is carried by females.

  3. I know you are the last person (so far) to post on WOYWW, but I just had to see how your craft room (guess I should call it studio) is coming along. The pink storage baskets really caught my eye, and I like how you have mixed and matched for a fun and colorful look to the room. This room has really come together well and I really love it. I see you still have storage space that's unfilled, too. Happy WOYWW.
