Woyww

Happy WOYWW  here's my little space this week tissues are a must it's ragweed season here and I'm allergic to that plant. I've started on a few Christmas cards that will be flat so they can be popped into the post for the cost of a stamp to get me going and you can still see my piles of glass and that orange thing is a tool used for my stained glass it really doesn't have a name more like a thing of a ma-jiggy

So here are the one of the sets of windows I tried to take a picture so you could see the design I have finished 8 of them now just 12 more to go and it looks like I'll be waiting on supplies seeing now one has what I need in stock at the moment.... Guess I'll just have to craft instead the hard ships lol

I'll try my best to visit you all as soon as I can 

sorry if I missed you last week

hugs Nikki

WOYWW

Happy WED everyone I really try to get around and visit you all but it's tough some times so I managed to knock off 4 windows off my list WHOO HOO now to slowly work on the rest there is so much to do before they even go into the frames and cleaning them TAKES what feels like forever but it will get done. So I'll share with you what I have done so far and Helen , I was working on the floor too so your not the only girl hanging out on the floor this week :)
One of the chemicals you use when cutting glass is kerosene and I try to never have a full jar seeing I've spilled it more times then I can count ... let's just say my room smells and don't light a match on my table at the moment

The two big windows

The two little ones 

The frame they will be going into

I think I'm going to miss how much the old windows 

use to open but I'm sure these will be just fine for air flow

and look 100 times better

So on to my desk this week well I am trying to sneak in a few quick cards just 

to add to my collection and keep it stocked up it's getting low but haven't really made any did print a few digi off but haven't even coloured them up. Plans best made just not followed through ... internet surfing and wandering around blogs looking at inspiration instead lol

thanks for stopping by

WOYWW - Geek SERIES !!! lol

Happy WOYWW well here's my space this week and I'll be into the stainglass for a while I have to make 20 windows YEP 20 of them YIKES !!! that's a lot of paper cuts coming my way for sure we are redoing the windows in our sunroom and DH is starting on the frames that goodness he can make those It's going to look really nice and I will share pictures with you all I've just been trying to figure out a design but I need ##'s for sizes so I can work on the pattern of things etc I can draw rough images but I won't know if they will work till I get the size of each window to see if the design will fit or need to be tweaked. 

Now Check this out for those of  you overseas Canada Post has the GEEK series of stamps.Now if only they could make DR Who stamps lol that would be the BOMB 

or if we really wanna get geeky how about Red Dwarf stamps ... I love the BBC we use to get it for free on TV when we didn't have cable the few channels that we did get, had that on it.  

So have a Happy WED and I will pop around to as many people as I can

Also started a facebook group for Limited Runs and all of a sudden it's getting lots of attention with lots of joiners which is really amazing that so many people joined it so quickly in a few days I'm so touched by it 

(It could also be the Free digi's to snag too might be an attraction)

Picture to the left is for one of my friends having a baby and they are having a gender reveal party is it a girl a boy ?? So I thought pink and blue would be a fun card to make.  You can see all my drawings off to the right some will make the cut some will make the recycling lol

 The Pull back of my desk  you can see the lovely house card from Judy that is a fabric house too so kewl and so full of little details it's ADORABLE !!!  I finished my pocket letter up top there just working on filling up the back and then finding a swap buddy now the post office is running for now YAH!!!

Have a wonderful day

WOYWW

Happy WOYWW everyone !!!
Well here's my space not much going on it at the moment you can spy a couple new digi's I've been working on Mini Monsters on my easel and I've got two done trying to make a few more to make a little collection. In the middle is a pocket letter I'm still playing around with above it is a card from Darnell for my birthday last week it arrived one day after. Not that the mail system around here is going to last much longer it seems umm we will wait and see how that goes. Now it's Friday the maybe cut off date do they not realize the more times they strike the less customers want to use them?  So will have to wait and see what other companies do to snag us to use them and if the cost makes sense to use them . So on the Right is my book filled with stickers and other add ons that are some what flat embellishments.

that's about it and I'll try to get around to all that comment on me even if it means Mon/Tues next week then I am SUPER LATE yet again 

hugs Nikki
