What's on My Workdesk Wednesday 213? Pinterest inspiration!

Good day to you fellow Wednesday desk hopper from Julia's place over at Stamping Ground.  Welcome to my desk in Cape Town, South Africa.

First you have the panned out view of my desk above and then the up close and personal below...
I have been very busy on Pinterest lately as I am on one weeks leave during the middle week of the school Winter hols...It is amazing how fast days evaporate before your eyes when you are busy...Can't believe it is Wednesday, I feel like it should still be Monday (wish it was!) We are half way through the 3 weeks!

I have printed out a card by Fleur Pearson off Pinterest and am using it as a jumping point for the card I am layering up on my desk.  Then there is the hot air balloon card which  made last night after making another card with clouds the previous night.  The balloon was previously a lemon on a party straw before it became a vintage hot air balloon in this life!

EDIT: 8:15pm:  I have finished the card!


Lastly, two happy mail arrivals from WOYWW4 celebration:

A HUGE spoil by Vonny K all hand made or painted by her:

and then a gorgeous ATC and beautiful lazer cuts from Sara J!
That's me for today, now I am off to see what I can see on your desk!

Thanks for the visit

Bella

    This is such a beautiful post! I love the hot air balloon! And that card with the bunting looks as if it's going to be great. I suddenly saw that I was originally given your number and I have commented as #49 on several blogs! Sorry, not trying to steal your identity! Have a lovely WOYWW! Julie Ann x#54 (now)

    Thanks for the hint! I was wondering what I could do about number changing! That's really helpful. And - yes - why not swap identities for a day, like those movies! Julie Ann #54

    Lots of lovely stuff to look at this week. I used Pinterest a LOT but then something changed and now I can't seem to pin things from my iPad - which is were I tend to do the kind of googling that finds things to pin. I still look at other peoples pins a lot but my own boards are pretty stagnant. Did I mention I hate technology? :) Looking forward to seeing the card.

    Happy WOYWW!

    Love those cards. The one on the front of your desk is gorgeous and I really love the one standing up. I have Pinterest but still not sure what you're supposed to do with it.
    Glad you liked your pressies and I love the pressies you got from Sara J.
    Have a great week.

    What a fun post, I too have a Pinterest fettish..amazing things from all over the world.
    Lovely WOYWW4 items, again talent in every corner of the world.
    Thanks for sharing I love the idea of new life for even paper items. Hot air balloons were big in the city I moved from, so fun to watch them close up ascend and descend #45 Enjoy

    I loved mooching round your fascinating workspace, so many things to look at. Thank you for your visit today and your kind words. I have to say, I shall be glad when the roof is complete. One third is finished and watertight. The rest is getting there. Have a good week. xx Maggie #3

    Love the colours of the card in progress, the bunting is super. And the "lemon" hot air balloon is fantastic upcycling. Sorry I'm a bit late replying but my son had his drum exam this morning, glad that is over now. Thanks for stopping by this week BJ#13

    I love your room with all that bunting across the top. You have made a clever use of your recycled lemon. I wish I could get my head around Pinterest. I don't5 know if I dare add in anything else that involves web browsing. i would never have any time at all to craft. Kate x #113

    I see what you mean about the storage across the window, Bella! One day you won't be able to see out lol!! Love the card you've made, and the gorgeous stuff you were sent. I was sorry not to be involved in this year's WOYWW anniversary but it just wasn't possible. I still treasure all the ATCs from last year.

    Thank you so much for your lovely comment and for your prayers for my upcoming medical test. They are so appreciated! I've got my preliminary appt. at the hosp. tomorrow a.m. and then we're off to the new house again, so hopefully more photos will follow. It is such a thrilling project, and I can't wait to start unpacking everything into my new ARTHaven.

    Happy WOYWW,

    Hi Bella, always enjoy looking at your desk, and your supplies... would love to plonk my bum down in the chair and have a mess about there!! The card is lovely, I love Pinterest but I would have to live for another 200 years to use all the inspiration I have pinned from it! LOL Annette #4
