Looking rather boring today... I have had to hide the fat book swap pages that were on the back of the desk... finished but for one small thing which is hopefully winging its way to me in the mail... but I have the start of my April Dress Up laying there... not sure what I am going to do yet! and another piece of chipboard which I was playing with to see what the new Mod Podge with a glimmer in looks like... it has a beautiful sheen and I think will add something extra to odd bits and pieces!!
and look what arrived in the post today!! Thank you Julia... you are a star, I love the chippie house and I will truly enjoy every single one of these foam bananas!! LOL I saw some on her desk one Wednesday of snooping and was so jealous as I haven't seen those banana sweets since I left the UK!!
On my other desk are some finds from Michaels where I went shopping this morning... Easter is coming... yes, really it is!! So we may still have snow on the ground and it doesn't feel very spring-like but I had to buy these...
aren't they cute? Little paper cupcake favour boxes!! Perfect for my cake stand and calorie free!
and these large EAT letters were on sale for $3.50... probably because of the yellow colour... but that's fine by me... they can stay yellow till Easter is over then I will alter them a bit!
and backwards they spell TEA... which is fun too!
and it spells ATE if you happened to allow one of the Easter eggs to fall into the wrong hands!! I think I will have some fun with these over the next couple of weeks.
Don't forget to pop over to Julia's for the linky list of desks to visit!!
Lovely desk today love your creations .But wow just adore those cupcake favour boxes...they look so real sure you havent been a baking??.They are adoreable doubt if wed think of something as cute as that here in uk!

Fabulous I love it all - can't wait to see the dress up part finished! You don't think about not being able to get hold of things like foam bananas when you're in a different country! Loving your letters - presumably they'll be great for your tea on tuesday postings! Can't wait to see what you do to them!

What a wonderful space! Love the cupcakes!
ReplyDeleteBanana sweets?? Ugh. Glad you are happy to get them but I think I would get that slight sickly feeling if they showed up in my post. Not fair, hiding stuff :( Maybe next week we can get a peek?
ReplyDeleteMary Anne
You showed us some nice things - Even I want those foam bananas! And the cake stand with cupcakes - lovely...so are the yellow letters - really enjoyed the snoop!
ReplyDeleteHope your weather gets warmer!
Lots of hugs

Very clever! I think the cupcakes are very cute and the letters are so versatile. Nice work space. Thanks for sharing. Vickie #88
ReplyDeleteLove those cupcake favour boxes and the eat,tea sign! I sooooo, wish we had a store like Michaels in the uk -I would love to go on a spending spree there! Those foam bananas make me feel hungry, do you remember the pink foam shrimps and the White chocolate mice -my fave's and you can still get them I think!
ReplyDeleteHappy WOYWW

You always make me very jealous of your bargains that you pick up in Michaels :)
ReplyDeleteThose cupcake favour boxes are so sweet. I like the pink shrimps and even used one as an embellishment on a card once.
I love those banana's too!
ReplyDeleteThe big letters are cool! Looks like you're gonna have lots of fun with them!

Fun desk - I have loads of those letters around the house. COOK and LOVE and HOME - just think of the extra fun I could have with TEA!
ReplyDeleteLovely desk and how nice - Foamy Yellow Bananas. have a wonderful WOYWW thanks for sharing. Caroline (No 31) xx
Love the Easter treats Annette. *Ü*
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to you on winning the Graphic45 Staples contest.*Ü* FAB creation....and when I visited the G45 site and saw it, I thought...heyyy...I know who made that! *Ü* LOL. TFS. ~Glen~
you need to come and be a house guest for a while - we have fridge magnets that were innocent until released into the hands of teenage boys and girls,
ReplyDeletewe had an action man the ended up in compromising positions in the toilet (new reposition by each person who uses the loo) - we have a VILE ornament that I keep throwing away that reappears in a prominent position when we have 'important' guests,
I know you would just join in the fun and add your own special touch...let me know when you are next in the highlands, we can reposition some words/dolls/stuff
Dx
I'm thinking you can probably put up with all that snow just to finally live in a location where they have a Michaels!! Forget what's going on outside (it was sleeting on the way to work this morning) it can be whatever season you want it to be on the inside!

Gosh, those cupcake favor boxes are awesome! Yes, I'm sure that you will make something gorgeous out of those three letters. Do the foam bananas actually taste like banana?
ReplyDeleteI will try to convert Mary Anne at the next crop, I cannot believe that she doesn't like the bananas! You're welcome - I'd actually forgotten...and you didn't see that it took me 4 goes to get a packet posted..we kept eating them!
ReplyDeleteLOVE the letters..I just know you're going to do something to make me jealous. I can cope.
Hi, really enjoyed reading your blog today. Those cupcake boxes are just super and the letters that you can do a zillion things with - fabulous! Have a great week and look forward to next week's WOYWW. Elizabeth x #108
ReplyDeleteI love the many varied things on your desk toady including little bananas sorry they are not educated in US we have them here too.. but not allowed them at present..thanks for sharing and happy WOYWW!

Adorable cupcake boxes, bet my Michaels doesn't have them. Such fun with the letters.
ReplyDeleteI havent seen those banana sweets for years - gonna have to find some now. Like your play on words and those little boxes are gorgeous!! Sorry I am late but was busy having an op on my knee yesterday!
ReplyDeleteFun post today! Those cupcake boxes are so real-looking! And I got a giggle out of your repositioning of the letters!
ReplyDeleteHappy WOYWW
xoxo Karen
i enjoyed your post today with all the yummyness on it. those cupcakes are made of paper? they look so real! your buys are wonderful!
ReplyDeleteIs it so wrong that I want to eat those cupcake boxes?... Love those feathers on the start of the dress.
ReplyDeleteBx
I'm so far behind, trying to catch up on a few things, and have definitely been missing in action on your blog lately. I really like the eat/ate/tea. These letters will come in quite handy on Tea Tuesday.
ReplyDeleteYou always amaze me that you can create such beautiful thungs on such a clean desk! Those cupcake boxes are so cute, just don't let Madame C see them!
ReplyDeleteI am afraid in my house that word would always stay 'ate' - nothing last long here.
Happy belated WOYWW
Cupcakes! Yum! And the letters are way too fun. yeah, mine would say "ate" all the time. With crumbs as proof.
ReplyDeleteI love those banana foamy sweets too!!
ReplyDeleteYour Easter buns look such fun and the big yellow letters are great. I hope you get some Spring sunshine very soon.
Hugs Lisax
Fab letters - trouble is, I think they may have been reduced because someone mislaid/took/hid the "S", "E" and "R" - perhaps (being yellow) they should have combined to say "EASTER". Love the favour boxes!
