WOYWW 202

Hello!

I must apologise for my lack of activity here in blog land, but there is something quite exciting happening at the moment. Those of you who are in contact with me elsewhere will know, but I can reveal that we are having a new addition to the family (no, I am not pregnant!). His name is Baxter and he will be coming home with us on Sunday. He is a companion dog and is a Terrier X. He's a little gentleman who is 7, so an older dog, but that fact suits me as he doesn't need the high levels of physical activity like a much younger dog does. I've spent a lot of time visiting him to allow us to get to know each other. And, of course, we've been getting things at home ready for his arrival. Here's a quick picture that I took last Thursday - 


More about Baxter when he gets home, but I wanted you all to know why I've been a bit distant and rubbish at visiting!

Now to my desk - 


So, the right side sees the usual suspects there as well as a pile of uncut stamps and some strips of scrap paper!


Window side sees a few things on the go, so here's a closer look -


A stamped image that I have coloured then there's the pile of Bamboo 3D cards at the front that I've made up and that need envelopes. Then at the back there's my new Smash Book that I've decided to dedicate to Baxter! I've already put his name on it and have put a couple of photos inside the cover as well as a pocket to put the leaflets my vet has sent me.

So there you go, next week I may be able to show you who is in my craft room, though Baxter is too little to get on to my desk!!

Make sure you visit Julia - The Stamping Ground to link up and gain access to the worldwide wonder of wonderful work desks!!
Take care Zo xx

  14. Hi Zoe
    Aww how cute is he, there is nothing quite like the companionship of a canine friend. I wouldn't be without my Rosie even though she drives me nuts sometimes.
    The stamps look really interesting.... very inusual

  17. Zo, Baxter looks lovely, how great that you will have a companion dog! I expect to see inky pawprints as he learns to craft with his new friend :-) Or maybe you could use his tail as a new paint applicator - the possibliities are endless!

    Happy woyww
