WOYWW - wheels keep turning

faster and faster, or so it seems!  And Wanderlust is my main creative distraction. There is so much happening there, not just fabulous guest teachers but all sorts of interesting art challenges, etc. You can check it out right here. (It's not too late to join and the videos are all downloadable!)

 So, if I've been MIA, it's because I've been making art type stuff and it leaves little time for blogging. But, today I am making time to visit the lovely woywwers! The best world-wide desk round-up for the nosey curious :)  You can join in too! Just pop over and visit Julia at her Stamping Ground.

 Early this morning ...


there was "nothing" to show, because I had tidied up!! Amazing, right? But you don't mind having a look at my latest purchases, do you? When the only nearby bricks and mortar craft shop is closing and everything is 40% off, well ... what can I say?

 (That "designer" paper, the pale pink, red, etc, sells for about $3 a piece at a well known art shop! Here it was $1!) The Somerset Studios are old, but one is the Premier Edition and another features Australian arts and crafts! I've always wanted to get hold of this one :) (About $1.60 each!)


It's not just going to be stashed away. I have opened most of the packaging, and gessoed an "R"!  And then tidied up ... again! So, now I have a "real" desk to show you ...


I won some lovely stamps and matching dies a few weeks ago. See previous post for pretty pics!  (BTW, my Stampmaster is a winner!)
Over at Wanderlust, a recent challenge actually got me doing some "real" painting ... sort of :)

 Oh, and here's something you've never seen before! My real, genuine, proper work desk ...


I was only inspired to show you, cos someone brought me some pretty flowers back from lunch, on account of it's "International Women's Day"! Fancy that!

But still see loads of things you wouldn't see otherwise still have to convince myself. Also have some news to tell but won't now as néed to go to bed!

    Lovely goodies - 40% off is too good to miss! I have a few Kaiserkraft stamps too - that's an Aussie brand, isn't it? Did all the ladies get the same treatment at work? How thoughtful of that "someone"! Very pretty flowers! You could paint them! Or press them for an art project! Thanks for popping over RosA! Enjoy your week! zsuzsa #30

    What a great sale that is, I'd have spent huge amounts, lol. Love Somerset Studios magazines, but they are ridiculously expensive over here. Have a lovely week, Hugs, Shaz #11 xxx

    Great bargains, but so sad the store is closing. Ours closed a few years ago and I miss it a lot - I hate internet shopping! But, you do have some new toys to play with, that's a plus! Thanks for sharing! Lindart #43

    Crafters can't miss a bargain, see your desk has the one essential on there - a cup of coffee. #2

    Looks like you picked up some great bargains..... another craft shop disappears. We won't be able to buy anything online in Australia. I missed International women's day... lovely to see someone remembered for you. I left info on watermarks on your previous post.
