So Here is my Desk ..... VERY EMPTY indeed. I finished the base with the DH laughing at me the whole time as I put it together 1st attempt I should have used a square the legs where so tilted. 2nd time around much better and it's now straight but he still enjoyed me putting it together lol but I'm very happy with it. Now I just want to change out the top and the shelf then it will be a totally new looking desk with some really kewl looking.

I think I'll still need something to protect it once done. 

So here's a close up the shell I've been putting my loose stamps in Not sure what type it is

but it's beautiful. Thanks Judys DH for letting me know it's a Nacre Shell :)

WOYWW + RAK !!

It's that time in the week to share our spaces and here's mine you can check out Julia's for everyone else's space and see what is going on !!

Here's my space this week and there on the desk is one of the candies to be mailed off this week to lucky Sandy Leigh Send me your snail mail @ elusionary60 at hotmail.com and I'll pop one of the little RAK'S in the Post to and I also have a 2nd one to go to someone this week too. Sorry I didn't get around last week to all that dropped by I'll be popping in this week for sure. I have just been making a few C&S Christmas cards for a card drive.

I got this lovely shell as a gift and am using it for as a stamp catcher just have to make sure they are clean before I put them in the shell it's really pretty. So my space this week is me just going along creating a few "C" cards and as you can see it's pretty tidy space. I like little distractions or I'll get nothing created. The card I was working on last week is finally done funny how long it took me to add in a few flowers I so struggle using them up lol.

I'll steal a little time this week here and there to get creative or at least colour up a bunch of images and then use them up for making quicker cards
I still have some Halloween Stash for Sale and I'll be posting some Christmas goodies for sale 

shortly too.

Thanks for popping in
