WOYWW there's snow in them there hills ...

or so the saying goes. Winter here, and it's time to make a "winter themed" birthday card for a good friend.  I tidied rearranged all those pen holders on their swivelling base and collected about 20 or so biros! Yes, biros, ordinary biros! Not particularly useful for arty purposes - they weren't even felt tip pens. (Although, there's plenty of those too.)

Anyway, this is what you came to see, didn't you ...


You can see ... card in making, tissues handy for inconvenient cold, tag from Debbie (see below) and newly broken handle punch. I loved this punch and the cassettes are useless without the handle which I'm sure is long since obsolete :( :( :(
 
And even though I was nowhere near the WOYWW crop, in fact, I was thousands of miles away, and likely to remain so, Debbie at Tattered Rocks sent me this lovely tag which she made ...
Don't you wish you were at the WOYWW crop :)
 
 
Here's where you'll get the full story on this desk business.

    I broke a punch yesterday - or at least found a broken one which I hadn't thrown away!! Your desk looks great with those organised pen pots. guess everyone now knows where to go for a biro! Helen 4

    Such a beautiful tag you got there and love looking at Christmas cards. Maybe you could find handle on sale on ebay? Hugs Nikki 2

    Hi there. Felt like winter here yesterday. Cold and wet! Heating had to go on! I still have humungous box of assorted Biro's - left over from teaching days :-). Beautiful card and tag. Anne x #35

    Good morning, I'm doing a quick whizz round all my favourite blogs before I start my mammoth task of clearning some of my sewing mountain today.
    Such a lovely card but it seems so strange to see snowflakes while we are having hot sunny days.
    Hugs,

    Winter cards and *S*N*O*W*F*L*A*K*E*S are always just fine by me! Glad the tag arrived - have to say I got such a kick about seeing it on your desk all those thousands of miles away! Happy WOYWW'ing Roslyn! Love Debbie xXx

    I will ask on a couple of the Facebook groups I'm in if anyone wants to sell or gift their cassette punch handle, there must be some out there!
    Biros grow in my pots too - I guess when anyone thinks to actually put something away, my desk is the place they consider for pens and paper....or how come it's so untidy all the time!!

    Gorgeous tag and I am sorry to hear about the handle punch. What about posting a question on the boomerang forum... you never know. I went to the craft fair today picked up supplies but really showed restraint!!! Check out Annabelle Joseph she does the most amazing biro drawings... yep biro is her medium. I will email you about a dates for lunch:)

    Loving the tag, I think the effect of embossing on acetate works really well. I don't know how we manage to collect so many pens, often when I get round to using them they don't work Lol!
    Anyway, have a lovely week and happy crafting, Angela x #41

    That's a lovely card, Rosa. Well done. Trust you will be able to source a new handle. Yes, we collect biros as well. There must be millions of them lurking around the world!
    Take care. God bless.

    I'll bet the WOYWW crop was a blast. How nifty that you got a tag made from it. Sorry to hear you have a cold. It is all those wintery cards giving you a chill! The skiing sheep card made me laugh. Judy #77

    Wow that tag is awesome and so beautiful. I think most of us wanted to be at the crop but couldn't. I have one of those punch sets and have had it for at least 12 years that I can remember, I do believe you can still get them as there is a later version available that is the same, if that makes sense.

    Happy WOYWW

    That is a seriously gorgeous tag. Sorry to hear about your cold and broken punch handle. You might be able to find on on ebay, just a suggestion unless you've just chucked out the bits then I'm sure it'll never be on ebay : ). Lovely card enjoy your wintery weather. #63
