What's On Your Workdesk #96-Easter Carrots

I get to start back in blogging  after vacation with What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday. Sorry I did not get around to say hello at all last week having been to Arizona , but I will try to catch up this week! Hi Julia!!!! I had perfect weather......90 to 100 degrees most days! Came home to 48°...will need to get my coat back on....

I made this cute Easter treat tonight. I had to finish this project just to get the feel of the paper in my hands LOL!  It was a little awkward to photograph, but I guess I managed! You get the idea any way...

Yep, desk is still somewhat messy, but I am working on it. I am going to make quite a few carrots--- so this is going to be a busy project...sort of like my svg pumpkin project. Luckily I have enough time to finish them up, provided I don't procrastinate too long!

 Here you can see what the svg cut looks like and the amount of candy that you can fit into it after it is rolled up....2 chocolate eggs and 8 jelly beans...just the right size carrot for good treats! I downloaded the svg from PaperScissorsInk blog. You should go browse and check out her creations...fun stuff! (oh by the way-- you can cut 4 carrots from one piece of 12 x 12 paper!)  (I just used my atg tape gun to hold this closed.)

 This stamp is made by Great Impressions...knew I had to have it!

Happy Birthday Luke--- Thing 1 and Thing 2 Dr. Suess

y

Gwamma is so happy and so sad....Yep, today is the day. My little grandson Lukey is having his first birthday party...and I am not there! What a sad Gwamma I am...I have had and extreme cough/cold/crud thing for over a month and decided yesterday that it would not be a nice thing to pass this on to a full house of partiers and my sweet Lukey too. You know I could not keep my hands of my little boys and would have to give them lots of keeezus!

So here I sit, with a bowl of oaties and a tissue wishing I were there :(...

But technology to the rescue...Having techie kids is just plain wonderful. My son will take pics and my daughter is going to skype me when the party begins, so I can at least see Lukey with his birthday cake. That makes me feel better already!

I googled Dr Suess to find these fun svg's to use for this invite along with the Boys will be Boys cricut cartridge for the kite. If you are a little rusty on your Dr Suess facts (like me) Thing 1 and Thing 2 like to run through the house with their kites, causing mayhem wherever they go. I think that is a fitting description of both Cole and Luke! You can find this svg HERE and HERE.  My daughter wrote the clever poem on the back., Dr Suess style!

Tomorrow I will show you the card I made for Lukey's birthday along with a pic of the birthday boy, so stay tuned! On Monday I will be passing off my Amber Inks Purple torch as well, so check back in to see who will be running with the torch next......
