Wednesday

WOYWW-448

Good morning from a rather wet and windy Derby.  It isnt going to be too warm at 9 degrees or dry today as we will be getting showers  as well as the winds from storm Elena but as I hope to spend most of the day in the craft room I dont mind.

Thank you so much to all my lovely visitors last Wednesday and a Happy New Year to you all, it was so nice of you to leave a comment.  I tried to get round to as many as possible and I shall do the same again today.  If you are not sure what I am talking about?  Just nip HERE to Julias place and you will see how you can go and visit lots of crafting areas not just in the UK but elsewhere in the world too.
Here is my desk today which includes a lovely tin of biscuits in the shape of a radio.  I am hoping these biscuits get eaten soon as I would like to use the tin for something else.  The black silhouettes are something I would like to use in card making but not sure how to use them yet.

Yesterday Pam and I spent most of the day with our Scan n Cut machines and we learnt quite a bit.  We can now download files straight from the brother canvas site onto our machines via wifi.  We know how to change shape sizes, increase the number of items we want to cut out and we had a taster of welding (didnt quite work though) thanks for all your help Liz.  I am really trying to make a box/bag of some description and a card.....I will get there.  I think it is something you have to do every couple of days so that you dont forget things.  One of my New Year resolutions is to try and do something new each day and playing with my machine is certainly helping me keep that one.

Today I have a few birthday cards to finish and personalise so I will do the best that I can do throughout the day and then Paul will take them to the Post Office for me this evening, bless him.

It is also an exciting day in Stampin' Up! world as a new brochure came out today for Spring/Summer and the annual Sale a Bration catalogue starts too.  Please click HERE and it should take you straight to all the information.  If you would like your own personal copy of both brochures, please let me know and I will get one in the post to you tonight or pop in to pick one up.  More about these tomorrow.

Thanks for calling in today and I hope you have a wonderful Wednesday.  Tracey x

Happy New Year Tracey. Wasn't around last week, so missed greeting you... Your own little corner of Derbyshire - wonderful! Spent three very happy years at college in Matlock MANY years ago! Glorious countryside. Love the biscuit tin!! Enjoy the biscuits - and then the tin. I confess to having ribbon-storage envy - wonderful display!
Take care. God bless.

Happy WOYWW. Your desk looks lovely. I am seriously tempted to get a Scan n'Cut. Even looked at the Create & Craft website, but the one at the special price had sold out - and not willing to spend the full price. Perhaps later in the year. Ali x #9

Tidiest ribbon storage ever! You do not want to see mine, that’s for sure! Well done on your scan n cut progress, I’m yet to actually get that far, I’ve been racing against time so hope this weekend will allow me some play time. I have a radio tin too, it had toffees in it. I use it in the kitchen to store stock cubes....it’s fooled a few people over the few years I’ve had it, I must say. I’m unnnecessarily fond of it. You could put the biscuits in a ziplock bag, or eat them......!
