WOYWW 414

Gosh the time is flying by. Here we are again for a peek at desks around the world. Thank you for visiting last week, I did, eventually reply to all I could. If I wasn't able to I left a reply to your comment.
I managed my first Blog Hop on Sunday - a minor miracle. It was my post before this one and you can see the cards I made for DH and our youngest son for their birthdays.

A quieter week than last week, well except for preparation for the weekend. We collected our granddaughters from school on Friday evening and on Saturday I met up with my friend Marion who is hosting the weekend and doing all the catering. It all sounds fabulous. I hope I will remember to take photographs of everything and will report back! :-)

So to my work space. It's looking a lot tidier than it did :-) getting stuff packed up ready.

In first photo I'm starting to make up packs of various elements needed for each card. I used to put everything in one box per card. Found things got lost or damaged, so I now usually put
everything in pack/packs per lady. They tend to take care of their own things better.




Chocolate !!!!! making up packs to put in each individual bag - got to have chocolate :-)


Some Molton and Brown minis - table favours - not finished the packaging yet!!



A sneak preview of the bags!!! will show you more next week.

Well short and sweet- how it's supposed to be I think :-) I've still a few things to do and I think there may be a lengthy phone conversation later with my brother re mum :-(

If you would like to join in WOYWW then visit Julia's Blog and find out more.
I will visit all who visit me and who end in the same number as me.

  3. Hope your conversation with your brother is productive... and helpful.
    I'm intrigued by what's in the bag - and have to agree with the whole 'crafting needs chocolate' philosophy :)
    Have a wonderful Wednesday!

  6. Hmm, chocolate in those bags is a great idea! I think putting individual kits together is a good idea because then they have all their own bits and pieces. Good luck with the phone call, I know all about that...sending hugs, lovely lady.

  7. Im playing catch up after my fun morning with little Theo.....he's a real pleasure to look after. He left after lunch and since then I've had to catch up with urgently needed sewing so am rather late joining in today.
    You are very organised with your workshops....I'm impressed.
    Hope you have a good week.
    Hugs,

  9. Lovely stuff Anne, there's so much involved in preparing and laying this sort of thing on, I admire your organisation! I'm with you on the bits-in-a-bag thing, it sure does prevent damage of any kind, just makes a bit more work!

  11. I think it's sensible to let each person have their own stuff, makes them take more care of it. Have a great crafty week and happy woyww, Angela x16x

  16. Good luck with the workshop - yes chocolate is good for them to have, it really does help and is necessary for health reasons when crafting. Room for another one?
