WOYWW 259 - One week to go!

 Only one more week to go and then we all need to sing to Julia to celebrate her 5th anniversary of trying to keep us lot in order every Wednesday.

In case, there is anyone visiting today, who has not heard of WOYWW (What's On Your Wworkdesk Wednesday), then just take a moment to slip across to Stamping Ground, otherwise known as Julia's Place, where she will explain it far better than I can.

 This is where I am working at the moment, as my craft room floor is still strewn with too much stuff being sorted to allow me and the dogs to get in there together.  It is actually Tuesday evening, so it is beginning to get darker, although we have been spared the heavy rain that we were promised.  If it does not come overnight, I might have to water some of my new plants out in the garden - that does not mean I want it to rain for the rest of the summer, so no rain dances, please Julia.

You may have noticed that there are one or two Cosmic Shimmers in the shot, together with some jars of Pinflair Buff-It.  By the way, there were some Pinflair  glitter pastes there too, but they have been relegated to the kitchen for safety's sake.  I nearly had a very glittery computer.  Took the top off one jar, ready to use a hint, and found that it is more of a liquid than a paste and I had a handful!!!

I have been playing with the Perfect Pearls again and the gilding flakes and you can see one result of that playing - a personalised ruler.  No good for using a blade with, but part of an idea for presents for children, with their own designs on and their names on the reverse.

I wish we had smelly blogs so that you could appreciate the fantastic perfume filling the room from this one small flower.  I only picked it because the stem was broken, otherwise it would have remained in the garden with all the others spreading their perfume around the neighbourhood.  I shall be busy soon, taking loads of cuttings to increase the numbers of plants.

Clarity have recently brought out a lovely bag to carry stuff around.  I have one already filled with my storage books of stencils and other similar stuff, but the other one was standing up against it, until Gemma decided it would make an excellent dog bed.  She was less than impressed when she was evicted and the bag moved (theoretically) out of her reach.  Four times before she got the message, then she tried for the one that was already packed.  Such an angelic little dog - NOT!!!

Right, I am off now to refill my coffee cup and relax before bed.  I will link up as early as I wake up in the morning, and then hope to visit as many of you as possible.  Don't forget the Anniversary next week.  Till then, Julia is waiting to welcome you to her place and send you of to visit others.  Have a good week.

PS.  If you can find the time, I thoroughly recommend doing what I have just done - going right back to the beginning of this great blog hop and reading some of Julia's posts from then   I had a real giggle.  By the way, Julia, I wish I had learned the rule of three much longer ago (although with acrylic paints, it is a rule of four, given that I have now mislaid two complete sets this year).  I need at least three sets of everything, one for the house, one for the caravan and a third because I can't find the one in the house and the caravan has gone to be serviced - you know the way it goes!
