WOYWW #225

I have been AWOL from desk hopping for a few weeks because I've had nothing to show as I haven't been creating but busy getting used to working full time on a rotating 7 day roster.
I went down to my craft room dundgeon this morning and found my desk as I had left it a month ago lol. Pringles containers saved to make something with, Spellbinders dies I have to pack into their containers, new papers I bought yesterday for Christmas projects.

I did want to share our beautiful annual flower show called Floriade that is held in the first month of spring. A sea of tulips are amongst the many beds of bulbs planted especially for this festival.
Amongsth this bed of white flowers was a blob of red, I dont know if it was deliberate or a mistake and someone go the colours wrong but it looked beautiful.
I believe they are planted at different times so they bloom throughout the whole month of September as some bulbs were close and some fully open.
The week before I tried to go and take photographs but had to sit in the car for an hour in pouring rain and drove back home. This is what the weather looked like outside my car. This guys umbrella didnt stay like that for long and a strong wind came and blew his umbrella upside down.

Joining Julia's Stamping Ground to showcase our desks weekly.

I am just like you! I save containers and packaging to upcycle into new things--and sometimes I feel like I can't touch things on my craft desk for days and days because I'm so tired from work! It goes in cycles. Happy to have you back. It's funny because I'm visiting everyone who ends in "8" today--and it seems to be a lot of my favorite desks anyway. Happy WOYWW! Sandy Leigh #88

Great to see you back, Bridget! You must be so tired working such a hard schedule! Wow! Those flowers are gorgeous and those red ones look terrific - like you I'm intrigued to know if that was intentional or pure chance? How is your daughter enjoying her camera, by the way? I was so impressed by those amazing little camera cakes and that big one for her birthday! Julie Ann xx #35

Look at all that STUFF on your desk. You need to squeeze in some time to play, especially since you went and bought some Christmas paper. That silly holiday will be on us before we know it.

Hi Bridget,

At least you didn't have any elves come and play on your desk while you were busy!

The flowers are stunning. I like the red amongst the white - happy accident or not.

We've been getting a lot of rain here too -- really need it badly as we've been in drought conditions for years now.

Happy WOYWW
