What's On My Workdesk Wednesday

Morning folks...crikey it's Wednesday already and the crafty production line button seems to be stuck on GO SLOW...the suitcase's been emptied...the weekend's dirty laundry's been washed ironed and put away but that's about all that I've achieved in the last 2 days.   And here we are at that time of the week when it's time to join in the fun over at WOYWW...so what's on my workdesk today.
The crafty purchases from the NEC have been moved from the kitchen table to the cubbyhole but now I need to find them a home...my shopping spree was a quick "little legs going ten to the dozen" 15 minute sprint on Sunday morning before the show opened only to find that lots of the stuff on my list had sold out and I take my hat off to all those crafty shoppers who spent all day in those crowded aisles to bag their must-have products and hey those who came back for a second day of madness deserve a gold medal...
but I have some gorgeous birthday card eye candy to share with you all...
from my lovely buddy Debbi...and the perfect pressie for TH's No 1 Groupie....
the fabulous limited edition Winter DI's....guaranteed to be appearing on this blog very soon...
 Sue & Jayne thank you for the gorgeous birthday parcel girls....Carol and Allison
 my lovely PBSC teamies...Jenny...Nat and Helen
 Liz ...Debby
and Pauline
 and from my lovely bloggy buddies
 Anesha....
 Liz...
Sandra and Teen (Tina)
my lovely buddy Sandra has made her first foray in the world of Altered Art....pop over HERE and share some Altered Art love.  Before I've had time to draw breath or for this old body to recover...Fiskars are already planning the next show...I'll be back at the NEC in March (22nd-25th) for another 4 days of Fun Workshops...blimey my old bones are creaking at the thought but hey ho I have 5 months to get fighting fit again...in the meantime it's going to be a "nail those demo samples" for Saturday kind of a day...no prizes for guessing that the brand new DI's will be getting their first outing....catch up with all tomorrow with hopefully some crafty creations.

    It's a shame you didn't get all you wanted at the show, but you have a nice selection of goodies all the same. I am sad I missed the show. I was booked to visit with my sister -I live in Spain and was coming over for the show as I used to go to it every time when I lived near Shrewsbury - but I had to bring my visit forward to attend a family funeral, so we went to the Ally pally instead. It was good, but not as good as the NEC.
    I just love that blue butterfly card too! Kate x

    Lovely goodies from the NEC, I'm seeing the Memory Box products everywhere. My local craft store has my name in their book to call when their new stock arrives as they just can't keep it on the shelves. Lovely birthday cards, you're a very lucky lady!
