Hi y'all!
So glad you could stop by for a visit, take your jacket off, sit a spell....want something to drink? I have some cold sweet tea....oh something a little stronger?....well heck, let's whip up a batch of margaritas and PARTY, after all it's WOYWW and we have a lot of friends to visit!

So let's check out my desk...be careful, don't set your drink down on my desk 'cause I have my lesson #6 from Elizabeth's Altered Book Lover's class all finished! Take another sip and have a look around, you'll see my WOYWW badge held lovingly by my mojo monkey, Anne's altered tin, and signs of spring, a tissue box for allergies and a fan for the warmer weather!


Need a refill on that drink? My you are a thirsty one...or just a party girl? Which one is it? Well since you're still here, let me show you a card I have for CPS sketches this week. By the way, I won a set of  Sweet'n Sassy Stamps  from the CPS challenge last week! woo hoo...ooops spilled some of my drink on you there, here let me get a towel....so anyway..here is my card for their new


I admit I am in a bit of a partying mood myself, ( refilling glasses )...I have to tell you that I won the top 3 over at Frosted Designs  and I won the garden challenge over at Die Cuttin Divas! wow, huh?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And to all my WOYWW friends, I have begun a weekly posting that allows you to link up any and all projects that you've created by being inspired through Pinterest. If you need an invitation to join Pinterest, then let me know and I'll send out the invite. I would love for you to join myself and Sarah from It's on the tip of my tongue for:

YOUR BLOG NAME

Well the margaritas are all finished up, guess you'll be moving on to the next WOYWW....sure hope they have some chips...I'm hungry, are you?

  3. Pinterest project? Everything of mine goes through pinterest first - although I'm working on patriotic sheep at the mo(!) and perhaps they passed it by. I think of something, look for shapes resembling it, pin it, do it!

  14. *smacks lips* That was a mighty tasty margarita. I think I had one to many as I'm finding it hard to type now... I pity the next blog I go visit 'cause heaven knows what will come out of my fingers when they've had a bit too much. Hee hee hee... LOVED visiting your desk and thank you for visiting mine! Happy WOYWW! - Warmly, Tracy #100

  15. Make mine a Mohito please, it's permitted as it is 8:30 pm here in England but a bit late because we have already cracked open a bottle of red wine - there's a glass going spare if you would like one.

    Going great guns on your AB Sandee. From the side view looks like a ton of pages finished.

  20. Since the old man isn't here, I'll gladly join you for that drink or three. I can't drink tequila when he is around. When I drink tequila, my husband turns into a jerk. Funny how that is, huh? Loved the tour of your desk today, the altered book, the fan, the kleenix... can you pass one? The sketch card! Very great.

  25. I'm feeling a bit tipsy now which is just as well as I'll have to go out into the horrible pouring rain and cold winds we have here in the UK today. Have you seen my umbrella, I left it in your hallway!!
    What a lovely looking desk, that AB is beautiful.
    Sending you very soggy waves from Yorkshire today.
    Happy WOYWW

  27. Really love your altered book, Sandee, and you've got a great creative space there.

    Thanks for your lovely comment on my blog - so glad you like the knitting! Sorry to hear you've struggled with zentangles but it definitely sounds as if you're tensing up and holding the pen too tight - after all it's supposed to be all about relaxation and enjoyment!! I haven't done any all week, apart from a few sketches in my Art Journal.

    Happy WOYWW,
