Penny Black + Spellbinder Botanicals + WOYWW

Well, everyone, tis Wednesday ( again!) it’s WOYWW or What is on Your Workdesk Wednesday, and it’s desky share time over at Julia’s Stamping Ground. My desk shows a special card in the making!

Looks neater than is, as you can’t see to left, tad staged. Desk was “Put it Here” spot from a card making session with a newbie last week.

Had a sort, put away, wipe down well glass mat. 

Must admit this keeps cleaner than any other surface I’ve used!

To the back right are 3 new products. Same crafty friend needed some help to spend the $75 for free post from north coast online shop (Scrapdragon). So I helped her out 😆 Paper Rose Mistletoe Christmas die, Couture Creations sml dragonfly die, + Couture Creations glue pen (really like it - super cheap, all on sale, of course!).

Far right of new Dies is ODB Lacey square dies (gifted by dear Marilyn).

I extended it to rectangle (repeat pattern so pretty easy to do this one, though do pray as go!). Used for stamped coloured image on vellum on

 left of desk.

Trying to work out what colour to underlay the vellum.

To cards. Had intended to finish one above plus more as want a few spares, easy-make, to use. 

However "my times are in Thy hands".. so did not. 

 Another day - hopefully tomorrow. Here are two unpublished cards. No idea who for - made in early mid 2018, very memorable year.

First is a birthday card using Spellbinder Botanical Swirls corner die, idea off Pinterest. Centre die from same set, daises unsure brand of dies, leaves MS punch. 

Next is Penny Black Trailing Vine stamp. Watercoloured simply, + Inked Elizabeth Craft designs "happy birthday". Side border scallops are from Xcut rectangle scallop die.

Now to Aussie ones, a few different things but yes, seaviews! But a video on my phone! Link below if not work here!

Did you know it was a full moon on the 5th June? 

This one wins the beauty awards, I think anyway.

So here's the full moon in Oz... we get it first, beat everyone, but not NZ they beat us! isnt it amazing?

The next image below comes from NZ, too!
Know what it is? We call them Kiwi fruit here (were in 1990s called here Chinese Gooseberry). Mostly they’re green, and we actually grow those west of our town, they grow on vines kind of like grapes do.

It's not the green ones I love, it is the gold fruit. For some reason they only come from NZ, no Aussie grown gold ones, so allowed to buy them as try to get Aussie only .. they’re soooo amazingly sweet, just cut in half and spoon them out, like passionfruit. Only eat half at time, very good Vit. C though. Much better than green ones.

*****

I need to apologise  too, for not commenting as much as I’ve wanted. Really tried again last week but failed .. only third of ones wanted. Firstly sticky beak too much, talk too much in comment + only have half an hour each evening.

Life happens as they say.. as  I’ve commitments, needed time for a dear friend. Sad but necessary. 
BTW I’m writing this in old blogger ... left new blogger on gmail sign in, but can’t use IPad so use hotmail sign in not gmail. Found can't add videos on new blogger - unresponsive page,  and that's on Android Chrome! 😐

Well, praying earnestly things are looking up for you wherever you live with COVID-19, that your area is starting to open up wisely wherever you maybe. 

May the Lord bless and keep you and all whom you love, wherever you may be,

Prayer hugs, 🙏🏻🤗🙏🏻🤗

Shaz in Oz.x 
Thought for the Day:
"My times are in Thy hands"

A verse I often pray.. and certainly been echoing a lot in these uncertain times, internationally + personally!

I desire nothing better than to serve first of all my Lord, Who bought me with His own blood. Secondly to love and serve, be a blessing to others, whilst I live! 

We are all terminal.

Indeed "my times are in Thy hands". 

Praise God, such wise loving kind hands they are!
