WOYWW #600

I recently redisovered the wonderful Julia Dunnit and her WOYWW (What's on Your Workdesk Wednesday) posts.

Many years ago, I used to participate fairly regularly, but over the years I let it go .....  

I had to tidy up my desk for a Zoom meeting and it reminded me of of WOYWW so I went searching, and I found it still going strong!   In fact, Julia was celebrating #600 ..... such an achievement!

So, for old times sake, here is the photo of my nice & tidy craft desk, ready for a Zoom meeting.


Not a very interesting photo, but much neater than it was.  LOL

You have a Birthday and you have a birthday ... and you have a birthday

It's that time of year where we have a group of birthdays close together - 2 great nephews, 1 niece and myself.

At least it gave me the opportunity to do some cardmaking - something that I realise I have missed, once I started pulling the cards together.

For the great nephew turning 6, I knew I wanted to use the new stamps I recently got from Blue Edge Crafts

Linking above card with Seize the Birthday - using scraps  This card was made using off-cuts of cardstock - the pirate & sentiment were stamped on an off-cut too :)

then, for the great nephew turning 4, I used these cute stamps from Stampology, Mindy's Zoo
Linking above card with 2CraftyCritters Challenge #43

For the niece, I used these lovely stamps from Stampin' Up, and did a bit of paper piecing :)


With Covid-19 restrictions still in place, we decided to have just a small gathering at our place :)

My own birthday celebrations were fairly quiet - just the two of us, we had our favourite Chinese food for tea (we got take away)

We are thankful here in SA, we have so few cases - they are in Quarantine - but we still need to be  mindful of the various restrictions.

It's a Goal!

Well, it's been a while since I posted here ....... 


It was the nephew's 18th Birthday and we weren't going to let that one get away without a family get together.




It seems we timed our celebrations just right, as today our SA Government has announced a reduction in numbers for gatherings at home - we are now reduced to no more than 10 people.

Given what is happening in Melbourne, Victoria at the moment, I am more than happy to comply with our current restrictions - I really want this horrible disease/virus gone!

So, stay healthy everyone and take care!
