This is a photo heavy series of things, that I shot and did not steal time to post. 

a couple of Mondays ago the clean and simple challenge was to do 

a card in 10 minutes, and if you have read this blog for a long time you already know that is an epic fail in my world. but, I really really tried this time. 

 

 

This turned out to be an 11 1/2 minutes card because, I had the black on his eyes ( he was painted with Daniel Smith paints) and I just knew that if I ran him through the big shot damp those eyes would smear and he already has a vulture look going on with the eyes so, I decided to not push my luck. and at the time this was being painted it was really hot so the paint was drying almost instantly.

 

 

So, this was my desk last weekend,  and now there is a little more elbow room because, I found that two tier wooden lazy Susan at Costco last week (on Wednesday) and decided that because it was flat bottoms it would be more practical than the scoop bottom one that used to sit at the back of the paper cutter. ( all that was in that was deco scissors and some spools of hemp string) and I had piled things I intended to mail to people on it. so not quite flat surface filing syndrome but, close.

I moved all those flower pots and coffee cups of tools to it, and that freed up a lot of room on the table, the fact that is spins is very helpful.

 

 The Friday before that Monday challenge I had received some cool things from the recent Stamping Bella Release plus a few older ones that had been on the mental wish list. I did use the unicorn for one of the challenges then. ( you can see most of the DTGD cards close up here on the blog. ) I know there were 49 challenges, but I never counted mine. I need to do a group mug shot of the projects because, one needs to go in the mail today.

 

Another eBay win arrived. this guy's name is Spud and there is a tv for him to be a potato in front of.

Now, this is a really lucky thing, my friend Janice who lives in PA has stores that are "Art Recycle" stores and every so often she goes and see's things she asks me if I like them and does the personal shopper thing for me while she is doing it for herself. so, its one of those somebody pinch me lucky things. This is the newest batch that just arrived a little bit ago.

So, this was my tuesday afternoon desk shot. I had been asked to join the team of people who do the Wednesday watercolor challenges at SplitcoastStampers. ( these are tutorial links to video's at youtube that people are learning along to watercolor together with) its not a prize driven type of a challenge. more like a personal one. and there are people of all different skill levels playing along. which makes it fun because, people chatter about what they are learning worked and what went sideways. type of a thing. That card was finished last night and can be seen here. 

So, that is what is going on with me. The big fire in the county I live in is considered 100% contained. ( its not growing out on the edges anymore its burning towards its center and will continue to do so until it snows next winter. There are additional fires in every direction. ( much farther away) that the smoke blows here. so, the gist of it is the air quality goes from hazerdous to unhealthy swinging back and forth. and I cannot express to you how totally over it I am. Which has me eyeballing my folding table I stamp on again considering the having a cabinet maker, build me a sturdy wood table/desk that does not sway when you clean it haha. Mask mandates go back to even out doors in this state starting on Friday. ( they are currently only for indoor public spaces) but, the numbers of covid cases continue to rise. Stay safe out there & thanks for stopping by.
