WOYWW Week 150

I cannot believe how quickly the weeks are going! Thank you for all of the great comments last week - I appreciate every single one of them.

It has been a really busy week both at home & work.  Here is my desk as it looks at the moment:
I have started a craft club at work and the first meeting is this evening - I wanted to share my love of crafting with colleagues and we have 3 great projects planned.  The box you can see is full of everything ready for the class - all kits are prepped and ready to go!

To the left of this you can see my fabulous bade from Julia - thank you, thank you, thank you.  It will go everywhere with me! 

Just above this is one of the finished projects from my desk last week - Last week I had prepared and coloured the centre image and I have now finished my swaps completely.  These are ready for an event that I am going to in Reading in a couple of weeks.

Right, I have waffled on long enough!!! Pop across to Julia's place to nose at other desks.  Thanks for looking..... Happy WOYWW day!!!

    Looks like you have a busy task ahead of you and well done for spreading the craft! I just peeked at your above post and looks like everyone enjoyed themselves! Well done!
    Well spotted with the punch. Yes it is a SU punch and a very new one. I only had it last week and love it as does Monkey!! Sandra at Stamping for Pleasure is an Agent for them! I will be buying more from them.

    Wow - I don't think you can under-estimate the stuff you will have to keep taking to your new craft club week after week, however, before long - all those ladies will hopefully be converted and have their own supplies!!!

    Happy WOYWW (On Friday)!!
