WOYWW # 141

Once again, it's time to view work desks all around the globe. Just visit the lovely Julia's blog, Stamping-Ground, if you would like to check it out.
http://stamping-ground.blogspot.com/ .

I'm still a sea of flowers...Here are some of my latest. Sorry about the glare. The problem with taking the pictures exactly on my desk, is that my scrap room is in the basement. I have overhead lights and no windows at all:(
I have the flash off but that is the glare from the lights bouncing off my countertops and bouncing off the satin of the petals.

 These flowers are just balanced together...waiting to be hand stitched into place tonight. I will even them out a bit as I assemble them...there is a sort of glitter covered netting in between the petals. I may save these flowers for some scrapbook layouts.
The plain blue one is for grand daughter's hair. It will be sewn onto a hair clip. I think I will do the same with this brown one. She has an outfit that would look great with it.

And now the boring bit...
This is my stack of grocery flyers...I just finished circling all the bargains, making my lists, and pulling out my coupons. Yes...I'm one of those crazy coupon ladies. My binder of hundreds of coupons is just out of site, on the floor in my shopping satchel (aka large burlap bag from last week). Sitting on top of the flyers is my recent couponing score. It's a $4.00 no touch hand soap dispenser...regular price 14.99 
It is sitting out as a paperweight of sorts to remind me to pick up more for family members. I was digging through by binder to see just how many extra coupons I had for it. It is Xmas themed but has a lovely vanilla scented soap I love. I will popthat refill into my stainless dispenser today, and stash the Christmas container till December. I like to use these if I have mucky hands (cutting up chicken etc) as then I don't have to touch the container.

Well, that's it...nothing too exciting. Hope to hear back soon from the bride and groom if it is OK to post their wedding layouts...then I will finally have something fun to show you! In the meantime, they are still hiding on my desk, way over to the right!!!.

    I cannot see any glare, just gorgeous flowers. You really are making some beauties.
    Not a coupon fan, well not quite like you are but do use the odd one. Good luck, it's the way to go.
    Don't forget to call in if you haven't already and check out my blog candy - it closes late tonight and I should be drawing tomorrow. Thanks for sharing. Hugs, Neet 29

    Very excellent flowers, I love the addition of the netting between the layers of petals. I'm impressed you could just balance those together and take a photo of them. I totally would have knocked them over before getting a good photo. Happy playing and happy shopping!

    Wow ...I really love the flowers ..the sea blue ones are my favourite.

    If I lives where you do ...I'd be a coupon lady. Not sure exactly how your system works but our 'money off'vouchers expire quickley and I usually miss using them as most are valid in specific places ...I think you have more available to you than us.

    Thanks for sharing xx

    Beautiful flowers you've made, I love them. I do live in Scotland in the North East. As for coupons I'm the sort of person that collects them on my notice board, being good but then forget to take them when going shopping.
    Thanks for sharing your desk, crafty hugs Erika.

    Love love love your flowers! Did i mention that I love them? I like how they are sparkly and the bling you added to some. I need to get myself to try and make some. I also am a little coupon crazy. My sister and I tag team shop to get the best deals that we can. More money for craft supplies. :) dani28

    Those flowers are stunning! I must make time to make one for my little girl. We don't have coupons here really but it seems to be a big thing in the States - quite right too if you can get some money off!

    Beautiful flowers...being the lazy person I am, I would just glue gun those babies together! I used to be a real coupon queen when I had kids at home...have you tried the hip2save site? Lots of great bargain leads there!

    I love those flowers, was there a video tutorial that you watched before you made them? Thanks for stopping by my blog. Your buttons look great in those spice jars. Try some in the middle of a flower!

    What beautiful flowers! They will look perfect in her hair!! I shop the ads, but not coupons, maybe I should :)

    The clear grid thing with the orange feet, you asked about on my desk? It's called a Fiskar's Stamp Press. It does exactly what you thought it did and it is wonderful, especially when you're making invitations and want all the cards to look uniform. I picked mine up at Michael's (with a coupon) but I'm sure they sell then online too!

    Those flowers are just beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, Mo! I love them! I think you have photographed them very well indeed. Lighting can be tricky. I battle between glare and my somewhat rounded self casting shadows in the wrong places!

    Thank you so much for your lovely comment on my blog - glad you like my silver butterflies! I got some more silver card today, and armed with lots of helpful advice from the Black Cat forum members, am ready to have another go, and I am optimistic that I will be able to cut the small butterflies successfully now.

    Happy belated WOYWW, Shoshi #35
