WOYWW #193


Yikes! Another Wednesday has flown by. And while I’m posting this on a Thursday, I took the day off and  managed to do some crafting yesterday, and grabbed this shot as I was flying downstairs to start supper. And as I had the day off, why is this in such a state, you ask? You see, the furnace guy was coming in the morning to fix the do-hickey that sounded like a turbo jet taking off everytime the furnace fired up. Yes, morning, like 9:00am, no he showed up at 11:00! At 1:00 I had to leave to take Scratchy, one of the orange kitties, to the vet to get bloodwork to check his thyroid.  At 12:50 it was looking like I’d be taking both Scratchy and Dakota, who wants to eat Scratchy, to the vet, as I can’t leave her with the FG…that would be the car ride to hell…but yeah, as I was getting Scratchy’s crate in the car, the FG said he was all set. Good!  We get to the vet, they had an emergency come in, can I wait?  Umm of course (I  can’t take another day off, I’m here with the cat, and they have seen me a few times when I was the emergency) Not so bad, only 20 minutes.  Scratchy was a good boy, gained 4 oz. and was fairly reasonable with the drawing of blood—ok, homeward bound, I’ll have 2.5 hours to make a Valentine’s Day card for Hubby and 3 Birthday cards for stepson, best friend and grand nephew…before I have to head down to make dinner.

 This shot was at 3 hours, hence the flying, and the mess….There are paper towels used to wipe up and capture spray, a potential background for grand nephew, made by spraying Dylusions Sprays on the mat then brayering them onto the paper, Distress markers (I do hope those caps are on) shrewn about, Distress Stains, Inks, and a pot of Inka Gold (Does that stuff dry up? I haven’t had it that long, but it feels weird). And I know those stamps have not been cleaned….oh bother! And my craft blade is without its cork….and following are the 3 cards I managed to make; still need to come up with one for the grand nephew, who turns 6. 

So, why all this reference to Wednesday, and what you’re seeing? Well, because it’s What’s On Your Workdesk Wednesday, hosted by Juliaat the Stamping Ground. So visit her space, then portal around the world to other crafty places!  I won’t be in such a disarray next week, nor ramble nearly as much! Have a great week everyone, and Holiday to those in the US!

  1. Your wolf is awesome! My mother would love that card - she is a wolf fan. Loving the argyle on the background of the tulip card. 2 of my favorite things. April #119

    1. LOL! Oh you scared me! No, that is my stamp cleaner tray....which is probaly due for a replacement, as all stamps come off with a black film; just can't clean it anymore! And a glue gun on yours??? Yikes!

  5. Hi Kim,

    Oh wow - busy day for you! Don't you love it when repairmen come visit.... Your cards are very nice. My dad loves wolves - and it's so hard to make a manly card. I'll be looking for a digi stamp now.

    Happy WOYWW
