and it is suffering from leaky elbow syndrome at the moment... it doesn't look anything like this in my head, you know! LOL
oh and I got mail! I love getting mail... nothing worse than the trip out to the front gate to check the mail box and find it empty... or worse still, full of campaign bumph! So, back to the mail, the lovely Donna (Doone) sent me a junk key and the swap ATC for the 4th anniversary of WOYWW. How lovely is that?
If you would like to be in my blogoversary draw to win the above reel, go to this post!!
Don't forget to go to Julia's and linky up to the tour of desks!
You linked to Julia, not yourself. I'm going to post this, so you can change the link. I'll be here when you get back (grin).
ReplyDeleteI'm fairly sure I see where you're going with this, and I think it's a very clever way to use that birdcage die. Hope the leaky elbow gets straightened soon (grin).
ReplyDeleteHappy WOYWW from #2.
Loving the project, be it the one on your desk rather than in your head! Have a great day - and the mail from Donna is just gorgeous! Helen 23
ReplyDeleteCastle is looking an amazing 3D creation ! Hope it all comes together like the image you have in your head - always brilliant when that happens - or sometimes it morphs into something even better when you get hands on ! Ali #40
ReplyDeleteI love where the fairy castle is going (at least in my head lol). Such a gorgeous bit of mail you have there : D. I just popped over to comment on your blogaversary.
ReplyDeleteThe scented embossing powder is for scratching and sniffing (in a pleasant way). Any un-sugared scented powdery drink mix, jello, pudding, baking chocolate powder, etc. Papertrey Ink is coming out with a stamp set and the embossing directions came out of that. #7
PS I've done that linking to Julia's too lol.
ReplyDeleteYour mail was well worth the walk to the post box
ReplyDeleteLovely papers your working with

I'm sure when it is finished you will be really pleased with your fairy castle (even if it doesn't quite match what is in your head) it certainly looks very pretty at the moment.
ReplyDeleteOooo, lovely mail. It really is super getting things other than bills and junk mail; isn't it.

That discrepancy between idea and actual object happens often on my desk! It's a bit like singing, isn't it? You can hear the tune perfectly in your head, so why does it come out of your mouth like a creaky hinge?? Lol!
ReplyDeleteHugs, LLJ 44 xx
Doesn't look like leaky elbow to me, crikey. Love the rubber band placements..why don't I do sensible things like that - and the bunny papers..too cute!
ReplyDeleteWish my head lived inside your head (or alongside) as you come up with some super ideas. Look forward to seeing the fairy castle.
ReplyDeleteHugs, N xx
Your leaky elbow made me smile,I know it will turn out fantastic :-)
ReplyDeleteHappy WOYWW

I know your fairy castle will turn out just the way you envisioned it, you are beyond talented. Happy crafting #1

That castle looks great to me so what is the one in your head like? Have a great WOYWW! Julie Ann x #32
ReplyDeleteYour castle is looking great but I know what you mean about seeing it differently in your head! The papers you've used are gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteLovely happy mail too, lucky girl!
Have a great week MMx

I think the casle will come together with a little time or maybe a good coffee break or something. I still love the paper and the way you are doing the cages and windows. Thanks for letting me look at everything. Roberta 17
ReplyDeleteThe fairy castle is looking fab! I know what you mean that sometimes things don't look like they did in your mind. This is looking good though! Happy crafting!
ReplyDeleteSuch a great choice of papers for your fairy castle and I think it is coming along beautifully. I too have that problem where you never seem to bring what is in your head to your fingers the same way. I am loving your happy mail treasures too! Have a great week! Danie #25
ReplyDeleteOh your Castle is just wonderful look at all those details in it and eventually we all break down and make xmas cards some of us just make to many lol
ReplyDeleteThanks for popping by hugs Nikki 4
Ooooo, looks like what I cool a good mail day. :-)
ReplyDeleteYour castle has potential, keep working on it.
Thank you for stopping by my blog earlier and for the nice comments.
Happy Woyww,
Sandy #13
SIGH…. I wish you lived across the street from me. I so wish I could come over for a play date and craft with you. You make some of the most beautiful stuff ever. I might have to steal the fairy castle idea, my granddaughter would be beside herself. She is 3.5 yrs old and LOVES hand crafted things. (Start em' young I always say) Though I'd need a hint or two on how to make one. Thanks for stopping by. (((HUGS)))

Stunning projects on your desk and lovely junk key has some similarities to mine. We are lucky to have Doone pieces in OZ.
ReplyDeleteSandra @68
