Hi folks, I missed last week- didn't do any crafting last week, as we went to the Download festival at Donington at the weekend. And here's the evidence!
Epic weekend, and the weather was quite good to us too. A bit of drizzle on Friday night, a bit on Saturday, and Sunday was glorious. I came home with a tan.And a T-shirt. And some really funky socks. Aren't these just the most awesome socks ever? So much so, I ordered some more when I got back, for Merlins birthday next month. She will love them. Turning into a little Goth, is Merlin. Beck said she calls me her Goth Nanny, rofl!
So, to the desk then. I've been stamping some tags this week, decided it was time I did something with all the tags I'd inked.
Looking its usual untidy self, my desk. DI Markers at the back, various inkpads here, there & everywhere.A few stamped tags littering the back of the desk. Posted a couple already, more to follow.
Had some great stamps in the post today, thanks Fiona. Not had any Stampin' Up stamps before, but I'd coveted this humungous Swallowtail Butterfly for a while, and Fiona (
Staring at the Sea) was using this script stamp at the crop, and I loved it.
Apology here to
Debs Willis, sorry I linked to the wrong Debs to thank her for my card a couple of weeks ago. Probably wasn't awake at the time,lol. Still loving my night shifts, which some of you are finding very strange. But thats me all over. Normal, I'm not. I sleep like a log, in fact I sleep better and longer than I ever did when trying to sleep at night. It probably helps that its permanent nights, so I don't have to adjust between day & night shift.
If you've got this far and wonder what I'm rambling about my desk for, pop over to our Glorious Leaders blog,
The Stamping Ground, say Hi to Julia, link up and come stalk with us. In the nicest possible way, of course. Its all done in the best possible taste! :)

I love the socks. I have been coveting swallowtail too. I have the script stamp. It is one of my favorites. I am a night owl too. I don't think your weird. :)
Fab socks!! I love that script stamp too and will end up getting it at some point I know! Take care Zo xx 75
Oh look there you are *wave* - glad you had a great time. You two do erm, get around!! No doubt that you will turn SU stamps to your own inimitable style and then I'll want them too! It is a marvellous image I must say, that butterfly.
That butterfly is gorgeous!! Sounds like you had a great weekend (not for me, but each to her own!!) Glad you're enjoying your nightshifts. Have a great day. Helen, 7
So glad you enjoyed the festival and those socks are killer, love them!
The paper background left after stamping looks like you should use for something good! Serendipity!

Glad you had a good time at the festival. We're off to our first one of the year in a couple of weeks time...just hoping for better weather than last year! Loving those socks! Hugs. Pam#28
Sounds like you had a great time! I am LOVING your tag, the background is so cool with the images. Perfect for halloween I am thinking. Love the socks, she will too! Love the title Goth Nanny! How fun! Winnie#86
What a wonderful weekend you had! Stamping Up stamps are, or used to be very good stamps. I've had a few for 20 yrs, and they are still good as new. This butterfly would be one I could not pass up either.

Those socks are fantastic. I have a bit of thing for stripy socks and purple is my favourite colour. Glad the stamps arrived safely. The butterfly is gorgeous. I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with.

Really outstanding socks. And the stamp you did is a great. I just remembered that I should send you my address for mailing the WOYWW Anniversary ATC. If you still have it. Will you email me and I'll give it to you.
Mmmmm! They are lovely stamps! Great things on your desk today too and I LOVE those socks! Chris 117
The socks are fab and are those some lavinia stamps I spy on your desk? The butterfly stamp is wonderful. Thanks for sharing. Happy WOYWW. Caro x (#132)
They are gorgeous stamps. I can imagine you colouring the butterfly and then masking it to stamp the text stamp. Your very own stamped collage. And with your colouring, its bound to be beautiful.
Thank you so much for visiting and happy WOYWW,
Cheers, Rachel #53
Yes, I love that stamp too, pleased you had a great time at Download
