It's F-F-Friday!!

Yesterday it was blowing a hoolie, luckily today was nice and sunny. Hubby, John, baked me some yummy brownies, (coz it's my birthday tomorrow) so I could take them to work to share with the workmen. I carefully cut the (large crunchy top with a very soft sticky chocolaty centre) 12x12 square into nice man-size chomping pieces, put some on a plate, wrapped a couple more pieces up for the gardener, left one bit for little me and a few more for the 'family' who were out. Off I went telling the two Labrador's to... stay. You've guessed it, by the time I came back from the workmen's cabin and the gardeners greenhouse, the two naughty Labradors and finished off what was left of the brownies!!

They looked up at me as if to say, "Yummy Yum Lyn, that was sooo much nicer than those dried old bones you usually give us! Any more?"

John's promised to make me some more... But enough of that. It's card time! And look, I've made one using my own digi. Most of Tuesday evening I was doodling. It turned out to be a dancing Leprechaun, but by the time I moved from the table, in the sitting room where I'd been drawing, to the hall... I was telling myself. Nope...he's no good. I quickly grabbed another bit of paper, it now being well past midnight, and scribbled this one out in about five minutes... plus the time tidying him up on the computer/Wacom.
I've 3D-ed him and the top bit of the mushroom, coloured with ProMarkers and added a bit of gold glitter to his 'gold'.
I really wanted to add a Good Luck charm or horse shoe, but didn't have any... (I hunted everywhere) even tried to make one using shrink-plastic...but it looked like a lost claw from some vulture-like bird. So I gave up on that idea and used the fiddle and the heart instead.

Freebies.? Well yes (of course) The Leprechaun digi, (until next week, scroll down to download him and join in with Spot The Difference and win a digi ) and the papers, and font. I just knew I had rainbow papers somewhere and remembered they came from Summer Drigg's fabulous blog. It's called, 'Owl Always Love Spring' kit and you can download it HERE
The font is called 'Black Boys On Mopeds' and you can download that HERE
Before I nip off to add those 'green' challenges I've found...

WOYWW Maddness

Hello World! Welcome to another Wednesday Madness of What On Your Workdesk Wednesday. Hop over to Julia's blog and join in. This is what's on my Work bench this Wednesday. Not a lot! I'm busy with 'other things'. In fact the hall has a few more crafty things piled in there, as I'm having a sort out. I've spent all day pulling things out of my craft room only to spend half the night putting it all back again. A couple of tins that need putting in my 'Christmas box' as they're Christmas chip board thingies. Some 3D butterflies I found and a cartoon that was revamped for one of John's (hubby) silly stories. You wait till he gets to the one about the midget and the oil pipe. He's been to the library and got 'Blogging for Dummies'... I rest my case.
This is what's on my dining table this week...no dinner, just a few doodles, and a cold cup of tea. I've done a couple of Leprechauns , seeing it's St Paddy Day next week. The only day I can wear my St Paddy's Day T shirt and I always forget!

Here's a long shot of my workbench, (it's not really that long, the camera lies) It was taken round about ten past midnight, so by the time you read this, it will look just the same unless the fairies turn up and party all night! Actually, I'm keeping them waiting, as it's nearly two in the morning now!
So if you want to join in you know what to do, pop over to the Stamping Ground. Thank you to every one who called in last week. It's surprising how many of you don't have blogs, come on, show us your craftyness!! Thank you all for your kind words about Frog the Cat and to everyone who joined in with Spot The Difference. One more go? I think so... Next week I'll be a year older (and feeling it too!) so hope I'll have a nice crafty pile of new goodies to show you! This is on timer...I'm at work..(Or will be) and this has been WOYWW! Get your WOYWW Buttons from Niki Here

Sorry You Missed This Digi. He is now in the Store.

Spyder's February ATC Swap (PlusTags)

These are my swaps for last month's ATC Swap, Valentines/Chinese New Year, over on The CardMaking & PaperCraft Forum. Click HERE to see the other swaps. I'm out of everything! Atc's, the little bags and ink in my printer (arrgh!) so I was a bit late getting these all sorted out and sent off. I'll blame Hubby for nicking the camera. Ever since he's started his blog, The Blog Wot I Wrote, I can never find it! (And I'd just like to add, we do not have a potty under our bed!) ) Now, because the swap is late starting I've made it nice and easy with 'Anything Goes' for March. Anyone can join in, via the forum or here!

Just thought I'd add these lovely Tags, which I receive from the Tag swap. Aren't they just amazing. They are by MotherDuck and Kerrmiya. Mine was pretty rubbish so I won't link it!! I can only get better...
Now, if you're not busy, there's still time to nip over to Papercraftstar's Challenge and vote for my card #19 (please!) That's it for now. Thank you for stopping by.
