Whats on my workdesk today...

 I wanted to show you the pictures from the lovely day I had with Anne Redfern www.bollyanne.blogspot.co.uk and my friends Susan and Ruth at my house.
 This is the second time Anne and her wonderful man David have visited us. Her generosity of time and materials never ceases to amaze us. That is to say nothing of her great talent for papercrafting

 We made these lovely cards, some paper flowers and the boxes above and Anne left us kits to make this lovely paper bag book and two Christmas cards.
  Time went all to quickly.  I so enjoy Anne and David's visits and can't wait to see them again.
 She also gave me this beautiful card holder from America. Here is a link to the lady who made it
52 Apothecary Shop 

NOW HOP OVER TO SEE SOME MORE DESKS
(don't forget to have a look at for Anne's)
WOYWW DESKS 

ps.  Congratulations Anne on becoming a grandma again and thank you from Sunnybank Day Centre for all the lovely cards you made for their Christmas Fair. They were overwhelmed. x

  4. Beautiful cards and made on a fun day with friends, couldn't be better. Love the reindeer one, simple but effective as they say.
    You were very early with your post on mine this morning, only just come on to put the link on Julia's blog, turned round and there you were. Off back to bed now for a cuppa and a read of the paper then I may just drift off again - had a bad night's sleep for some reason.

  14. Wow, what a lovely friend to have. Such amazing things you made. I craft alone and a couple of times in the past I have had a card making session with a friend and it is always great fun.

    Does she need any more friends?

  35. Hi Lynn, I'm still hopping through, slow but sure. How fun to stop in and see the nice picture of the very generous and lovely Annie and your friends, Susan and Ruth. (You should have had David take a pic of the four of you! Next time!) Beautiful, beautiful creations!!

    Have a great couple of weeks!! Like a lot of us from the States, I suspect, I won't be WOYWWing next week because I'll be in the kitchen prepping for Thanksgiving. All the best! Darnell #41
