Hello everyone!!! It's Wednesday!!! And sooo very happy that it is... it's been a pretty busy week and I'm ready for the weekend and some crafting time lol  It's time for another  WOYWW  - what's on your workdesk Wednesday So I have a treat for you today.. I have some pictures from last Saturday when I crafted with some friends... and the picture of what is going on this Wednesday on my desk... So here's what happened at a friend's house (Chrystiane) last Saturday The view of Chrystiane And finally what I was working on that you will see soon and I shared some of my storage ideas... so I might as well share with you as well.  I use binders for my dies and my embossing folders.  I have found some great plastic storage from Martha Steward.  I really love those because the quality is really awesome.  My binders are all on shelves over my workdesk so easy to access and the shelves with the empty binder space... the red pouch on the left...

Hello everyone I wanted to share with you my desk over at  WOYWW .  There's really nothing going on today... it's our Year end at work so I finished late.  So no time to play :( Hope your day was more exciting than mine!!! oh and if you are a follower of mine you should check out my candy here .  And if you are not a follower... why not? ;o) Hugs

Hello everyone.  How was your day today?  Mine was so so... And I didn't do much crafting tonight... I was way too tired lol I'm here to share what's on my workdesk this Wednesday over at  WOYWW  and it's not much... just an image from Scribbles by Sandy for the midway point of our challenge that's  Shades of orange  there's still lots of time to enter!!! And I'm preparing well... I finished coloring the image for the card... just need to think of the card now lol And Ike my mess is not all pushed to the back... those are bins attached on a pole.  Meant to be this way I swear!!!  Maybe not that filled up.. but still.  So to me I'm still impressed that it's not more of a mess after a full week of crafting!!!  The Tim Holtz scissors have been borrowed from my local craft store until they get my order ;o)  This way I can cut the great stamps I got from Smudged inks!!! Hope you had some crafty time and looking forward to seeing y...

Hello!  It's been a crazy crazy week so far... and it's a short one because of the Canadian Holiday.  We are moving at work... and of course there's the super exciting news that we ( Susan Kennedy and myself) opening a challenge blog Open-minded crafting fun  (DT call to come on November 1st and challenge to start on January 4th).  So trying to fill out the last spaces of the schedule with sponsors if you go and check it out I'm pretty sure you will be excited!  Oh and it's Halloween coming that's why the darker look... but we are OPEN MINDED so any type of crafting (cute, dark, whatever) is welcome so long as it fits the theme.  Can be cards or other creations ;o) Anyway I'm here to share my desk because it's Wednesday and that's what we do here at  WOYWW .  And I will also be sharing my mantle so you see what I was up too this weekend decorating!!! ok you are in for a shock... my desk is actually clean!!!!   Are you impressed and...

Hello!!!  I haven't shown my desk at WOYWW  ( the blog post where you share your creative desk every Wednesday) for the past 2 weeks... been pretty busy lol.  Yup life gets in the way of my crafting!!!!  How awful right?!?  So tonight I kicked my own butt and here I am! So I'm sharing one messy area of my desk... the one that's accumulating the beer caps because I really loved trying to recycle those and want to work on some more!!!  So keeping them all.  I also have some soda pop tabs... want to try something out with those as well lol Please don't be too judgemental on this mess... I call it being creative! ;o) There's my jar of sparkly pens, crop-a-dile corner punch... some shells in the little pill bottle.  Some stamps that I have not yet put away because I want to use it on a card that I have in my mind and haven't put on paper yet... and when I do I will probably wonder where that stamp went lol That's it for now!  I h...

Goodevening everyone!  Hope you had a good day!  Mine wasn't good... after my son being sick it was my turn... spent the biggest part of the day in bed and just blogging a bit now so that I can sleep again tonight because if I sleep anymore I won't be able to sleep tonight! So for my WOYWW post you will not be seeing anything on my desk other than a wonderful card that I received from Desire with the stamps that I had purchased from her!!!  WOW her cards are even more stunning in person than on the screen.  I'm totally ecstatic to have one of her creation and will be cherishing it for sure! So what's on your desk today?!?  Is it as awesome as this card?!? Looking forward to seeing it. BTW while you are here!  Don't forget I'm having a giveaway to celebrate the fact that I have reached 400 followers!!! WOW so if you want to enter it's here:  http://crafting-vicky.blogspot.ca/2013/09/400-followers-giveaway.html Hugs

Hello everyone!  How are you doing?  I had a pretty good day, busy at work but busy is good!  And then came home and remembered to take a picture of what I was doing ;o)  That's pretty good because I was sure I would have forgotten to play along at WOYWW .  I'm always full of good intentions when I see the posts popping up.. but to me it's still Tuesday... then Wednesday comes around and can't  in the morning because it's rush to bring William my youngest to school and then go to work... so by the time I get back home well sometimes I just forget lol But not this time.  So here's the view of my mess with the tiny little area ready to color ;o) Yup I'm doing stuff just for fun!  I'm totally addicted to the progressive challenges so playing with an image from "From the heart" for their latest progressive challenge.  I have more time for this because I have left some DTs... figured if I want to go on some new adventures need to have room f...

Hello everyone!  I'm barely in time for my WOYWW post!!!  Super busy day at work today... meeting and then the final touches for the budget presentation that will be taking place tomorrow. So here's what's on my desk tonight: I have some images to play with including one from Doodle pantry because I have to make a sympathy card... for those of you that follow my blog you will remember that last week I posted about one of my employee's SIL. Well he passed away from cancer this past weekend.  He was only 46 and he leaves behind his wife and 3 young children ranging in age from 9-14... I'm totally devastated for them.  My employee is beside herself with grief.  She had lost her husband when she was in her early 30s... so she knows very well what her daughter is going through :(  Why is it that family get hit so much?!?  Her daughter just finished her own treatment for breast cancer!  Let's just hope and pray in her case it is now gone! So I f...

Goodevening everyone.  I'm showing you a different part of my life today... I was at the office until 7pm tonight and thought it would be fun for you to see my messy desk there at WOYWW ... It's month end and budget time so I'm overloaded with Powerpoint presentations while you guys are crafting!!!  Totally jealous and looking forward to some crafty time. as you can see my desk is just as messy as my crafty one lol Hope you had a great day on your end!! Hugs

Good evening everyone!!!  I thought about it!  And here I am with my post about what is going on this Wednesday on my workdesk!  Just in time to participate with the post over at  WOYWW So this time I'm here to share with you that I have some brand new ideas to play with... ;o) I saw a great idea in a Magnolia magazine and really want to try it out.  So my dad was really wonderful and created a bunch of little wood block the size of ATCs for me to play with  ;o)  And that's the box that's on my desk!  I also have my faithful copic color chart.  You can also see in the back my little washi tape dispenser with the many levels all filled btw... but now at least I started using them. The other totally exciting news is that I started a darker site that can be found here:  Darker-side-of-me-craftingvicky.blogspot.ca .  I finally took the plunge!  Halloween is coming and I totally love that time.  I want to be able to chal...

Good evening.  I almost forgot to go and take pictures of what is going on in my "studio" for WOYWW and that's because I'm alone with hubby the 4 kids are with my dad!  So there hasn't been much crafting going on this week hee hee hee... I also had to set up my new computer... my hubby got really really fed up this weekend of hearing me complain about the other one... I had reinstalled everything and again got the blue screen of death.  I was about to throw it out the window!  So he purchased another one on Saturday.  And so I've been getting used to Windows 8 vs 7 that's a huge difference... and I've had to reconfigure everything.  So that's what my time as been spend on... sorry if I haven't been around as much. So here's my studio without the gaping hole... my hubby and dad fixed it last week.  I have put stuff back in there as well this past weekend... And I still have to organize all the great stuff I purchased while I was on vaca...

Hello again everyone!!!  What are you up too?  Today was pretty cold here camping... no rain but not warm enough to enjoy the beach.  So while my hubby and kids were playing golf freezbie and Cantan I played with my copics and got some of my DT work done in advance!!!  YAY for me lol So I'm here for the WOYWW  post, pretty good that I remembered!!!  Because it was colder and it was all wet this morning I set up inside to play so here's my set up for the day. So you see some of my copics the others are under the table in my bag, my chalks, and some of the digis that I colored today!!! Hope your day was fun as well!!! Hugs

A big hello to everyone!!!  This time I'm here to share with you some pictures of what is on my workdesk but it's a special workdesk... it's also a picnic table!!!  Yup I'm finally on vacation and this is my camping site with the area where I color and have fun. So this is my WOYWW for you this week!!! I also have some pictures of the great Champlain lake to share with you.  Just totally love this place.  The lake is so calm and the beach so good. The sun is really warm... and I did end up with a sunburn... oh well.... ;o) Have a fabulous Wednesday everyone!!! Hugs

ohhh my I almost forgot to do my post for the WOYWW !!!!  I have to admit it was a pretty busy night... I picked up some food for the cats and dogs that my step mom will be baby sitting in my house while we are gone (it's a mini vacation for her and lots of help for us - feel much safer with the robbery that we had a month ago to know that there's someone in my house).  Then I put my crafting stuff away because well... I want to craft a bit while I'm gone!  Then tried to download some new music for the trip (and I-tune was not collaborating at all!!! ) So now I'm synchronizing my i-pod and writing this post! Here's my suitcase with all my copics in their little folders ;o)  All ready to go And that's what's happening in my little part of the world. Hope that I will have some internet while I'm gone camping... otherwise you will be seeing crickets on my blog as I have no time to program ahead all my posts... so I plan on doing them from there... ...

Hello everyone!  Hope you had a fabulous Wednesday!  I had a pretty good day, not to eventful. I finally made it to my annual doctor's appointment ;)  I had been postponing.... I really hate to go see doctors especially if there's nothing wrong with me.  But I guess we need to have yearly checkup... now my check up is now actually 1year1/2... but not to bad right?  Could have been worse... a few years ago they had closed up my file because I didn't go often enough. It's Wednesday... so that means another WOYWW .  After this I came home, printed up some image and got crafting right after supper and this is what is on my workdesk tonight (yup including the leftover wine from supper, gives me some inspiration in the crafting... ;o) ) I have a list of the cards I need to finish before going on vacation, my copics chart, my faithful glue gun.  The images are from Outlawz freebie challenge and the imagine that freebie challenge.  I have prepared th...

Well... my luck is still pretty bad.... Last Sunday I was downstairs when I started hearing a drip.... called hubby over and it was a pipe that was dripping... so he opened a bit of the wall to find the drip... Yup part of my studio wall!!!!!  The plumber came over today.  He had to open a bigger chunk of the wall. The good news is that lots of $$$ later the leak is fixed.  But my studio is a mess and this is what I have to share with you at WOYWW . and well of course stuff was put on my desk in the meantime... oh when the plumber left we got a phone call to say there was an issue with my youngest son being accepted at the school he's been going to for the past 5 years (long story... we are not in the proper school for my district) and he would have to go to another one... :(  REALLY?!?  anything else coming our way?!?  well the good news is I called the school and they still have room in the grade that he's supposed to be in... so left work early...

Hello everyone!  Another Wednesday WOYWW !  And this time I'm again in an hotel room on a business trip.  The good news is nothing bad happened so far on this trip!  The bad news is that I missed my daughter's birthday yesterday and I'm missing my son Gregory's graduation from 6th grade today... :(  So like my boss said, I'm either a bad mom... or a very dedicated employee.... hmmmm... get's you thinking of your priorities right?!?    But you still need the food on the table and the rest... so... guess I'll stick around for awhile more... just hope I don't miss too many of those important events! So here's what's on my work desk!  I have brought my computer with me this time.  I figured I would be able to blog a bit at night... and also because I was scared that we get stolen and that this time they take my computer! Hope your Wednesday is better than mine that's supposed to be in meetings all day... and hope that you don't miss an...

Well today at work I had a special activity and it involved building a raft in pouring rain.... yup got to love my job lol   Actually it was a team building activity and we had fun, but would have been much better in the sun! I came back home tired, wet and cold... So with all these days of meetings this week not much crafting is going on in my studio... so I decided to use the WOYWW to showcase the wonderful ATCs that I have gotten so far!!!  Just loooove them and feel so lucky to have been able to participate. I just love them all!!!  So much work that went into making them!!!  I have posted the ones that I made in a post yesterday. On my desk s a copic pen that I need to refill and on the left on the piece of papers the list of cards that I need to make ;) Hope you had a great Wednesday!!! Hugs

Goodevening everyone!  Hope you had a great Wednesday!  I had no new issues with the toilet (you need to read the previous post to understand ;o) Just the regular super busy day and meeting to attend in the afternoon downtown.  I really hate to have to drive there... and I had a car from the garage... so not mine and that's always nerve racking for me to park underground with a car that I don't know (so the dimensions are not as easy to figure...).  But I managed ok and did not scratch or damage it!!!  And now my car is fixed so I have air conditioning again!  Good news because it can get pretty hot in traffic. When I got home I went downstairs to my "studio" ;)  Sounds so much better than laundry room lol And this is what was on my desk  I want to continue participating in WOYWW .  And the rest of the mess around.  You can see a card that's prepared and will be posted on Sunday ;) I also want to thank the people that are exchang...

Well I really wanted to participate this week at WOYWW  so I took some pictures before I left for PEI of what was on my desk to  be able to post this Wednesday.  The bad thing is that my house was broken into this past Monday... my daughter came home to a broken front door!!!  My jewelery was stolen including some items from my MIL who passed away last summer... our passports as well are gone!  Nobody got hurt that's the good thing. My hubby told me my drawers and personal items were all looked through by the thief...  From what he said the rest of the house was intact.... so technically this is still what's on my desk... I'll see when I get back home tonight from my business trip... I'll be washing all my clothes!!!!   I really really feel violated right now. So yes back to this post... it's my ATCs for the exchange ;)  But not showing you the front!  I made 8 so I have 7 to exchange extras if you are interested please let me...
