WOYWW 116 - Happy Birthday Dad!

Hello there Peeps!

Hurrah Hurrah! It is Wednesday!!  That means two things for me. 

Firtly, it is my Daddy's 80th Birthday!!!

Secondly, it is WOYWW with the lovely Julia. 

Thirdly, it is "Hump Day".

Haa Haa!! 

Here is my desk.  Not too bad for me though there seems a fair bit going on and also, I can see, on the far desk. 

I was asked about my clock by the lovely Julia last week.  NO I do not time my sessions.  It is there in a vain attempt to make me aware of what the time is.  Too often I say words (not out loud though or I may be heard!!) along the line of "just until 10 o'clock" or "5 more minutes" or "I'll just go down for a wee/cuppa/take the washing out of the machine/feed the chickens/get the cake out of the oven" or any other such like statement and then 3 hours later I am still sat at my desk and the cake is burnt (or even worse!!)!!

As I mentioned it is my Daddy's Birthday today so here is a picture of the card I made him, complete with stamped envelope.  I used a Crafty Individual stamp (first time I have used it) and coloured it using Copics and also Antique Linen D.,  I also used Distress Stickles in Peeled Paint, Rock Candy and Burlap over the whole image, before using Faded Jeans around the edge.  The tag was made by firstly inking with Frayed Jeans DI and then flicking water on then using Adirondack Lettuce and Faded Jeans DI on my Penny Black stamp and then spritzed the stamp before stamping.  The background paper is MME.  The sentiment stamp again is Penny Black.  The 80th stamp is from Stamp Addicts. The studs are from American Crafts and I bought them soooo long ago and think this is the first time I have actually used them.  

I used my Penny Black stamp again on the envelope.

My Dad has already seen the card and approved, it as well as the lovely chocolate cake I made for him complete with candles and a Womble. (The Womble was on a cake of mine when they were in vogue.  If I didn't use this it would have been something Christmassey!!)

I also have something else to show you...

How coolio is that bunting!!  It arrived yesterday from the lovely Lunch Lady Jan!!  Isn't she such a sweetie!!  I LOVE IT!  Thank you Jan!!

Rightio.  Off to work now and I shall be back later to go around the world by desks!!  Don't believe me? then pop along to the WOYWW extravaganza!!

Bye for now.  See ya later.  Please don't forget to leave me a message so I know you have been!!
