Mystery of the wheel Lummas and Mabon

In myth, the Goddess sees with sadness that the strength of the Sun God is fading, but it lives on inside her as her child.  The fruits of our labor are celebrated and enjoyed from out gardens.  A time to look back and celebrate successes and   achievements of the past year.  In cutting the corn the seed is gathered in and ensuring a new life.
 Imagery to use - 
Corn and wheat, a large scythe, daisies for joy and success, grapes for opulence, loaves of beautiful breads to represent new creations formed from raw material and ideas and labor.

WOYWW (what's on your Work desk Wednesday

Hello Tubie :-)

 Yep its that time again.

What's on your Work desk Wednesday. http://stamping-ground.blogspot.com/p/what-is-woyww.html

 And I have I have a mess.. well less of a mess if you look at the photo's form yesterday.

                  It was clean up time.  I was getting lost in the mess and it was getting worse. So here is a few before and after's.

 

BEFORE:

 

 

AFTER~ yea I still have a ways to go, but I'm getting there.

 

 

It was bad I know,  This is a peek at card you can see in the corner of the desk again the wall that I think Im going to give my Mom for Mothers day.

 

 

and if you want to see just how bad the rest of my room is, just look at my post from yesterday. I have worked on it too but not worth of a photo yet.  lol

Thanks for stopping in.

Craft room mess!

I don't know about you.. but I can tell you that I am having a time of it trying to organize my stuff.  Oh where to start I always the big thing. Then what to put where and how. So what I have been doing is grouping my stamps in boxes or tubs. .  like cats that changed to animals.   ok what do I do with the pack that has swindle and dots and dogs and cats in it. I don't want to break up the set. But I have a box just for designs too.  See my issue.  Ok the other is I just have was to much and to small of a space.  To many ideas and they just get lost.  I am taking on a do NOT go in to craft stores for a while. I don't need anything. Trust me other than a personal organize to come in here and give me a hand.  I think my brain just shuts off when I come here...is that possible? 

The cubes I thought would be great ... it is I just cant get it together in any kind of order it seems.

 

This mess on all the little desk top drives me in sane! I'm going to work on the TODAY!

The wall unit and stamps is the only thing that seems to be right but the desk under it just kills it.

and this mess ... ugg  is in no order of any kind. I tried. But id didn't work or come out that way.

 HELP HELP HELP

 

I know that I would be more productive if I didn't have the mess cause I just get side tracked with it and end up messing with other stuff. Plus it doesn't give you that feel good feeling being all over the place. 

Any way I do hope that I can make some head way in here today.. I have a can of Mocha and Elvis to play.. to keep me going.  Wish me luck.

 

Full Moon Dates for 2014

Here is a full moon calendar with the days and date for those of you who have a hard time keeping up with them. My self and others find  that we work better and are more creative during these times. Meaning this would be great times to plan to work on a certain craft project that you have been having fits with. Or lets see getting that one thing done that we just cant seem to find the energy to do.  Maybe clean the closet .. that was mine last month. Personally I get much more creative a few days before even and do my best work at these times, weather it be making a craft or organizing something.  Any way here it is and I hope It will help you make some plans. 

 

 

 

New card for any day.

Here is the new card that I have been working on.. I was made from all my scraps that is always good for starters.  The quote ~ humming bird ~ and cup cake are  all stamps for they Unity pate stamp of the month club.  And I love them.  The cup cake be done up in so many ways... its just fun fun fun.

 

 

I have super glitter paint on the top of the cup cake really thick so in person its fluffy. I will have to see if I can get a better photo of it to put on here.  The Humming bird is glitter water color paint so it is very faint. And the it's a white gel pen that I wrote in the back birthday words.   I hope you enjoyed the idea.. So many possibility's!

WOYWW (what's on your Work desk Wednesday),

 Hello Tubie's,

I hope this finds everyone having a great week!
 I personally am sick of snow up to my knees!!

I will keep this short ... Here is my desk, since that is what it's all about, and the photo of the bumble bee girl is the Atc that I finish today for a swap. I still have to seal it to make it nice and shiny. The wings do already have  watercolor glitter paint on them.. just can't see it in the photo.

 Here you go... Enjoy and as always bright blessing to you and yours.  :-)

 

FYI.... That is Sam.. He was the kitten that no one wanted.. I have been very blessed... he is a 16lb buddle of pure love.. (on most days).  He is very handsome if I do say so... grin  But I'm still working on those 2 pages, and him.

 

And as I said the is my ATC that is going out in my swap.
