What' On Your Work Desk Wednesday? 198

I ran across this interesting site yesterday.  It's where you take a look at other work desks around the world. Please stop by Julia's blog for all the deets and links for your viewing pleasure.  Here is a look at mine.  Of course I couldn't update until today.  I seem to be running a day late here lately :(  I was working on my Easter cards.  I was about to clean my desk when I remembered about this.  This should help keep me motivated.  LOL  Atleast I'm hoping so. 

Easter Card 2013

Boy it's been awhile since last posting.  I think we all have down falls and hoping to get up from mine.  Here is an Easter Card I made for my family.  Of course if will be a day late, since I am just now getting it in the mail today.  As I say "better late than never".

Here is a layout I made about the total eclipse.  Although I didn't get to see the complete eclipse thanks to the mountains standing in my way.

I have already made a double layout using these pictures.  Then decided to make this one to hang in my grandson's room.  His room is decorated in Toy Story so this one matches better.  I had so much fun making this.  It was a lot of work, but well worth it...I think anyway  hehehe  TFL

Gold stickles for horse shoe on nose and Woody's spurs
White and blue marker pens for eyes
