WOYWW # 159 Great week.

It's been a busy but exciting week for me.

I have been trying to get my sick mother

to rest, mission impossible (but she is much better),

and helping my eldest daughter

with all the painful paperwork

and running around,

associated with buying a car.

Somehow, I managed to get some time to myself

and did plenty.

All weekend (much to little miss' annoyance)

I drew and painted these

Egbert Bookman bookmarks.

Little miss stole all four of the ones I made earlier,

so I had to start from scratch.

Why so many bookmarks you ask?

Well, (drum roll please)

I have an Etsy store!!

After much trouble and copious

amounts of swearing,

it is up and running and

I even managed to get it onto my blog

(still can't believe that).

You can see it on my sidebar

if I haven't done something and lost it!!

I can't say that the store is all my work

as the wonderful, lovely 

(and anything else nice you can think of)

Jenn at justaddwatersilly,

took pity on my terrible efforts

and made my store banner. 

It is beautiful,

thank you so much Jenn, I really

couldn't have done the shop without you.

Another other exciting thing this week

was my gorgeous clock arrived from 

Lynn, of Doodly Bird fame.

These little birds flew right across the globe

and landed in my room.

They are now proudly sitting above my desk.

Lynn, I hope you house trained them,

I don't want any extra bits on my artwork!!!

As well as that, all of my ATC's swaps have arrived

and here they all are.

 From Sandee

From Bella

From Sylvia

From Kay

From Bridget

They are all so beautiful,

I really am lucky to receive such gorgeous things.

Sorry Julia, I know we should keep

these posts short

but so much fun has 

happened, I just had to share it all.

If you are still awake after that 

post, why not go on over to Julias

Stamping Ground
and see what everyone else is doing

around this big old world.
