My Baby (Myrene) turns 18 tomorrow and I have mixed feelings about it, not because I am getting older, it is more about her growing up and I don't want to let go. Thank the heavens for small mercies that she is not driving a car yet, she has had no interest. My son on his 18th birthday went and got his license and it near killed me with stress. So I am pleased that she is not at that stage. She is however having a few friends over for a party so I have loads of stuff to prepare in order to make it the best for her.
So my desk is not tidy it is messy in my opinion as I am in the middle of a card make and need to get on with it. People seem to be dragging my away from my desk when all I want to do is hover towards it. It is so not fair, I finally get a few days off from work and this happens, ah there is no rest for the wicked. At least I am loved, what more can I ask for.
I did achieve this week after posting late to cruise around every ones desk there were not that many so the challenge wasn't as good as other times but I still get around to them all. I wanted to finish the year with the accomplishment.
I do hope you all had a wonderful time breaking in a new year, it is hard to believe it is all over, Christmas gone and dusted, where did it go........ New Year already started........
Want to see more then pop on over to Julia's place called the Stamping Ground and check them out, you never know who you might meet up with or even befriend over time. I have picked up some really beautiful friends on this travel and now they mean the world to me.
Ah and I received a lovely card the other day from Cardarian, wow that is one really beautiful card. I admired the card on her blog when she made it, let me tell you it is absolutley brilliant in real life.
I also forgot to mention that Sandy @ Lonley Cards sent me a birthday card the week before Christmas thank you so much ladies they really touched my heart.

I too got to make it to all the desks last week, lol course it's not the usual boast since it was only half full! My resolution this year is to not dye my hair, I am curious as to what color and how much grey is there, lol I have such lofty goals! waving hi from the soggy not yet WOYWW hills of North Carolina :)
great looking desk and I love those cards! I had similar feelings when DD turned 18 and moved away. I was devastated to say the least. We start driving at 16 here and in some cases of need even earlier so the driving didn't bother me over much. Hope you have a Happy and Prosperous New Year! I look forward to seeing your posts in 2013! Vickie #17
Your butterflies are lovely, love the way you have them popped out and layered.. hmm compendium of curiosities I would love that book it looks great. I think I might have to lash out and get it.. Glad you liked my card and so happy that I helped you with the mystery of the embossing folder that you liked but did not know the name of.. Manhattan flower is my favourite to use.. I really like to ink the folder it really pops it.. Will look forward to the link that you are going to send me.. Hope your daughter has a great 18th birthday. Tell her happy Birthday from me..
Happy New Year

That's a good resolution, I think. I hate mess, can't think straight when there's stuff all over the place....
Happy birthday to your gal, 18 , the beginning of a whole different chapter. How lovely, so much promise, so many directions her life could go. Hope you all have a wonderful day!
Happy new year, LLJ 31 xxxx
Love the cards and the view from your desk is lovely. I think I would spend most of my time day dreaming out the window. The years just fly by when you have teenagers.

Your butterfly's are so pretty! Is,that a IPAD holder,over,there on the right hand side of your desk? Hum, if it is, that might save my poor IPAD.

Lovely butterflies there, hope you keep your resolution, I can't bear my desk to be untidy for too long! Thanks for visiting me and Happy New Year BJ#27
Happy New Year to you - I hope you manage to find plenty of time to craft.
Happy birthday to your daughter. Hope she has a wonderful day. My littles are 10 & 7 and I feel like they are growing too fast. I will probably be a wreck by 18. So hugs to you. And your butterfly card looks beautiful, hope you'll get some uninterupted time soon.
Happy New Year. LisaDV #99

Lovely cards, lucky you.
Can t;ell you that it does not go any easier being a mum. Sorry. My son is 47 now and I still make excuses to ring him if I hear of accidents on the roads. Think by the tone of his voice he knows!!
Take care, try not to worry too much and enjoy the New Year.
Hugs, Neet xx12
Love the butterflies - hope you get the chance to sit and finish your card without too much more being dragged away!!
I have both CoC books but can't find the time to do the projects :-( good luck!
Happy New Year and Happy WOYWW

Happy birthday Myrene! Pretty little butterflies sitting patiently on your desk. Happy New Year! x Jo
Your desk may not be tidy, but I certainly wouldn't describe it as messy. It just looks like you stood up and took a picture in the middle of a project -- or maybe are just coming back to a project you got dragged away from.
I wish you well with your resolutions, I never make any to be honest! Love the card in progress on your desk, and it is tidy, creatively so, hope you got to finish it off quickly. Lovely cards from your friends and I hope your daughter has a wonderful birthday.
Hugs

PS. Happy New Year to you all.
Pretty butterflies and gorgeous paper neath 'em! New Year's greetings! Nan 78
I too love to see pets with WOYWW posts. Mister Snoozy's real name is far more dignified: it's Vladimir. He looks a bit orange in my picture, but that's down to poor lighting, poor photography, and poor photo-editing -- he's actually dark grey!
Fantastic bits on your desk and the cards you have received are gorgeous. My daughter has just turned 16, I'm dreading when she is 18 as she's still my little girl. Actually a month before her birthday I'm 40 so double celebration (I think). She is 17 this year and in the UK that's when you can start to learn to drive, I'm dreading it. Good news, after I melted my heat gun I was using it for a couple of months but my OH did buy me a melt part so no more foil. Thanks for the advice on the salt techniques, I shall be having a go again shortly when I replace the salt from the cupboard!!!. Hope you managed to get some time in the craft room. Happy Woyww :-) Kerry xx
