When you make a conscious choice to be happy, no one can take it away from you because no one gave it to you: you gave it to yourself.

WOYWW 209

Hello Wednesday and hello everyone!!

Boy did I enjoy our WOYWW crop on Saturday, so lovely to see everyone again and to meet a few new faces too.

I've had to have a few quiet days, was so tired Sun, I was wobbly & had a fall Monday, but fell on the loo so I didn't fall too far, then yesterday my neck was in spasms! BUT it was all worth it to have such a lovely fun, food, hug filled day with a spot of crafting thrown in too!! If you want to see my photos of the day you can HERE.

Right my desk, now to be fair I feel it is a mess, well for me it is, but I resisted tidying and took it as is -


The right side is very messy, untidy and needs sorting!


It's less messy in front of the window as this is where I work. I'm in the middle of making a card and have some DT projects to make so there are a few pens laying around and stamps too.


In our fab goody bags that we were given on Saturday, there was a bag of stash with the instruction to make then post. So this is my card. I cut the paper into squares that about 4.5 cm then I went around them with a black pen. I arranged them onto the 6 x 4 card blank. I stuck them using glue gel and raised some higher than others. Once dry I popped some black Card Candi onto the script squares. That's it. Simple. 

Thanks again to Julia and Jan for such a fab day, and to carry on the desk dashing (gaining inspiration) tradition pop over to the Stamping Ground to link up, join in and desk dash away!

Take care Zo xx

Tee hee While tidying up I found (complete and untouched) the kits from LAST year's WOYWW crop. You did much better and I love the card - but then I am a total sucker for text....

Happy WOYWW!

Hia. Yes it was a grand day. Sorry to hear you have been suffering since. Glad you did not fall OFF the toilet....now that would have been funny!
I have not touched my goodie bag other than to pop the tissue pocket in my bag. My other one is now in the wash as it has been in my bag for years!
Hugs

It was lovely to meet you on Saturday. I passed on your tip about the Youtube videos to my daughter. I'd totally forgotten about the little card kit and also the chocolate buttons! Thanks for the reminder xx

I've seen pictures of the crop on a few blogs and it was so fun to see the faces of the people I visit every week!! I'm glad you had a wonderful time, and your card is awesome!!!
I'm sorry you had a rough recovery after overdoing it at the crop. That is not fun at all. But, I know I would have done the same!!
Feel better!!

Hope you're feeling better now. The crop sounds great fun, wish I could have gone. I have pen storage envy! Happy (late) WOYWW.

Take care Zoe and don't do too much this week. i think you need a nice heated grain bag neck rool, and an easy chair with your feet up for the rest of the week!

Your crop card kit looks great!

Minxy said...

Hope you're feeling a bit better after your resting xo

It was so lovely to meet you on Saturday. It was such a great day, the perfect end to my holiday. Your card is so cool. I gave it a go and wish I'd had the courage to leave mine as simply elegant as yours.

Happy belated WOYWW,
Love Rachel #29

Hi again Zoe, I see you liked Kyla's embellishments as much as I did. I've just put up a post on making your own super-cheap moulds, using silicone caulking, it works a treat! Hugs, Shaz xx

What a fun card, Zo!! I'm delighted that you were part of the WOYWWer cropping group - what a riot - but I'm sorry to hear that you paid a dear price for all that frivolity!

Enjoy the rest of the week and take good care of yourself! I'm just popping in to visit this week, so no no. for me. xxoo Darnell
