woyww #136, some inky grungepaper

Well hey there bloggers and crafty friends,
This week has been a busy week as my eldest son was nine, cannot believe where the time goes!!!So there was more presents, cake and a trip to the deep aquarium at Hull.
I have had some crafty fun playing with my melt pot, a Christmas pressie and have had some awesome and disastrous results, in fairly equal measure!!!However whenever there is a disaster something good usually comes out and I had a beeswax and melt pot moment where disaster was averted when I added perfect pearls and blasted with my heat gun, I will post the results later in the week...but there were a few hairy moments I can tell you!!!!
Anyways here is the desk today...
I am having my first, yes you got that right my first ever attempt at proper 3-d Tim grungepaper flowers!!still a work in progress!
Thought I would show you around some of my crafty storage, just because..
and here is some more storage and I still have boxes in front that i havent had time to home!
make you you pop across to julias, our fab hostess with the most-ess to see other fab crafty spaces and creativity!!! @ http://stamping-ground.blogspot.com/
see my later post today for my visiting artist piece for gingersnaps!
have a a fab inky day
hugs trace x

    You look very organised, or is all the other stuff hiding round the corner? Good luck with the flowers, I never have much luck with them. Love the colours of DI you are using - blue and green a favourite combination. Thanks for visiting my blog, I love getting comments.

    Congrats on getting a melting pot and I do sympathise about the wax heat gun incident. I am still finding bits of wax on my desk from my last little experiment. Good luck with the flowers, I am sure I have a set of those die cuts and will have to get them out for a play.

    I don't have a melting pot, but I do have a heat gun and a deep foil tray so that is on my list to play with this year. Looking forward to seeing the results of your experiments, and to see what you do with those lovely flowers. Maggie #105

    Ooh mrs I like your reed drawers, they look great. I haven't tried the TH flowers yet, so be honest about the fiddle factor! Sounds like you and the melt pot are having fun, will come back to see the beeswax and pearls?
