WOYWW.....57......Wednesday Again!

Good morning too ya!Well yes it's Wednesday again boy isnt it coming around quick!Soon be Crimbo........lol.Well WOYWW this am more than i have on mine i can tell you,well my mojo has a disappeared and just dont know where .So if you find it please send it this way...lol.Has not been good week ive 3 DT Creations to do done one cant show but beleive me i aint happy with it.

So what do you see well this is my desk this Wednesday morning not exciting.Before i go on if your wondering what this is all about pop over to the lovely Julia's Blog here and find out.

Usually when my mojo disappears i tend instead getting withdrawls from crafting and im sure weve all been there.I tend to colour some stamped images in for when or if my mojo returns.The above piccy shows few images coloured late last night before going upto bed .i added glamour dust to some of them.Doesnt really show up in this piccy so they were just drying .

Now if you can see the chest to the right i received this week from my dear friend Cheryl who has kindly sent these to me inside is another wee chest.I am hoping to do the larger one for my eldest daughter shes a big big fan of R Patts...dont ring abell well he shows his face in the Twilight Movies she has so much memrobilia stuff thought it would be nice to have a chest.
The phot below shows large clearer photo of it as yet untouched by crafters had waiting until me mopjo reappears,mind im sure the heat here in Norfolk dont help,cant recall the last time we had rain,my grass looks like farmers feild brown straw!!!

Also in the above piccy you will see some silent night crimbo papers that have just arrived.Well with not having my mojo and not crafting so did some retail therapy abit too much me thinks ...lol.I am a waitng them to arrive hopefully today so i will take piccy for you next week.
Now as havent got much to show you thougth id show you down by side desk.Make most this not often do i show down here.Well some rather unusal shaped boxes ivbe collected to alter .But also you may see a wee creamy /Latte shelf well picked this up for £2 and gonna strip it down and re design /decorate it .This im hoping is going to .......(talk nice to hubby)go on the wall.Then i shall fill with smal;l punches and all my SU punches the bottom one hoping to put metal rod through and that will hold my reels of ribbon.The celebrations Tin is full of flowers and leaves oh yes as well as all my storage jars.
The box to the right brown with white boxes are my new su stamp pads been sat there 3 weeks just need to get round put away.

Well thats it for this week i am going to get round you all fingers crossed as last week didnt get to the end.So i hope next week will have more creations to show you & the return of my Mojo .Hopefully by them my crafty goodies may have arrived!,

So until then have a fab WOYWW...wednesday

Love n hugs
