Quick post before DH and I set off to walk the grandkids to school. Spent last night crafting at my next door neighbours. Her husband is on a business trip for 10 days so I have gone to hers for the past 2 weeks.
Brought some colouring as it is so easy to pack up a few copics and some sheets of images. Here is a peek at what I unpacked when I got home.
The beautiful bird stamp at the bottom left was a RAK from Samantha Healey of Lady Bug Crafts
http://samanthahealey.blogspot.ca/
She had a giveaway on her blog and I was the lucky winner. It is a La Blanche stamp and is a very easy stamp to use...it stamps so beautifully and evenly! I tried one image in in Memento Black and another in Memento brown. Little Miss C is dying to try this bird so one image will go over to her house...perhaps we will even colour them together...
Whoops, I see there are a couple of images in there that I coloured at the scrapbook store crop last weekend...guess I hadn't unpacked them yet!!!
I have been a bit remiss in blogging in 2013...hope this post and these images get me back into a better routine. If you are wondering why I am showing you my desk, pop over to Julia's blog
http://stamping-ground.blogspot.ca/ and check out more desks from all over the world! But be sure to leave her some bloggy hugs.

Thank you sooo much for your lovely comments on my blog hun xxxx
Beautifully coloured images, the birds are lovely. Thank you for your kind messages on my blog, I have enjoyed blog hopping today around the workdesks!x.
Back again! Oh poor Mary to have a doppelganger like me! Sorry to say I don't know anyone by that name, I grew up in Ontario and sadly never had a sister. Maybe we just both have common faces..... Hugs, Anne x
A really tidy place - I like lthe storage system - what's in there? Wool, fabrics?
Very industrious of you and so kind to be with your friend too. Happy WOYWW, hugs Jenny #150
Wow your desk is clean! Mine looks like I left the window open during a tornado. LOL. Can't wait to see some future projects made with the images you colored.
OMG!! Are those jars you are using or what?! I am in love with them and your space!! Happy WOYWW. Cx #84
Gorgeous new stash, and what fun to spend the evening crafting with a friend.
Many thanks for your comment - I have every intention of enjoying myself to the utmost tomorrow at the show - I get out so infrequently that it's a real treat! I've got my list ready (I know I shan't confine myself to that, lol! but have some Christmas money that's just crying out to be spent!!) I'll certainly be doing a post about the show, and am going armed with my camera and 2 newly charged batteries.
I've finished the spoke guards and they are now installed in all their glory on my wheelchair! Have art, will travel! I'll be doing a post about them, too, once I've finished working on the video.
Happy WOYWW,

Oooh . . . lots of lovely colouring-in. I like the way your PB mice are coloured grey instead of brown beneath the lantern! Brilliant idea.

Your coloring is looking great, and I also like the wall of jars/boxes filled with what appears to be embellishments. It's like a mosaic. Blessings!
Hi Maureen
Nothing like a good colouring session to get the creative juices flowing .. .. I love taking a stack of colouring when I visit my Mum.
We sit talking for England whilst I colour.
Looks like you had a very productive time!
Love Jules xx
I know :) It is what is on your desk Wednesday series :)
Beautiful stamps, I have some flowers by La Blanche.
Joanna
How lovely to get a stamp that works so well! Enjoy crafting with your friend :) xx
Glad you were able to have some crafty time with a friend!
I am looking forward to a scrap weekend coming up in March. I haven't done one in a while.
I hope you are feeling well!
I've discovered a lady I know through blogging who was living in the UK has moved just 3 miles away from me in Michigan, we've talked on the phone and hope to get together soon to craft. I like you you think I got great bargains, wasn't that your name I saw pulled out on kath's blog for the HA stamps??! That's what I call a bargain, lol!!
Hugs
Brenda
Hey Mo! Just called by to see if you were ok as I am kinda missing you!
Sending Hug!

Nice coloring! And how lovely for her to have the company. :) Thanks for stopping by my blog already and leaving a sweet comment. I enjoyed it! (And responded to it, too)

Hi Maureen,
I sent you an email as I wasn't sure if I'd get to your desk.... but here I am! Very nicely done coloring. How great to have a neighbor that loves crafting!
Oh, the home front. My realtor tells me that it's a slow time of year -- except for the two places that I was interested in. I'm still trying to sell it myself and just renewed my online ad for another month. The two places that I was interested in had been on the market since July and August! Yikes. I'm hoping it doesn't take me that long. Keep your fingers crossed for me.
On a sad note, my good friend (who taught me to knit) passed away Wednesday. It's been tough for me.
Hugs,
kay
