What's on my desk?

I've had a busy weekend working because of the bank holiday so heres to a week of relaxing and being creative. Oh, and of course more blogging!

I have recently seen loads of bloggers post about whats on their desk and workspaces. It's definitely made me think about mine, and how i'm not fortunate enough to have a workspace that I can solely call my own, instead have a small desk in the corner of the garden room. It's not huge but it gives me a place to reflect, organise and create to my hearts content. What's currently on your desk?

Welcome back.. Finally!

Ok, so once again I have abandoned my blog although i've got a pretty good excuse this time, am now a proud mummy to a fantastic electronic cutting machine! I've been super busy making and creating all kinds of beautiful paper cuts from some really wonderful scrapbooking designers. Its been wonderful to see my layouts come to life with a simple cut out title or cute little embellishment or frame. My only regret is I wish i'd bought one sooner. Am definitely in love! Heres a little sneak peek of some of my latest layouts, paper cuts included!



Because i've been so useless with updating my blog, i've decided the only way to have a proper catch up is with a 'Just A Minute' update. Enjoy!


In May I am


Listening to..

DJ Cassidy Calling All Hearts (feat. Robin Thicke and Jessie J). Its so summery and pink! It just makes me want to dance especially with all this beautiful weather we've had lately! Summer 2014 is definitely upon us folks.


Visiting..

Exhibitions. So, April and May consisted of some great adventures to some great exhibitions. John McLean stained glass, Artists Textiles: Picasso to Warhol, Wedding Dresses and The Glamour of Italian Fashion. Being a V&A Member means some fantastic benefits including free entry to all exhibitions, and special members events. I was fortunate enough to join just in time to receive a cute little canvas tote. 


Drinking..

Starbucks caramel macchiatos. I'm totally in love with them right now, and the cute little straw is just too adorable. 




Adventuring..

Out and about on my bike. When I got it last year, we didn't have great luck with the weather, so a few weeks ago I pumped up the tires and just went out for a leisurely cycle in the countryside. Perfectly peaceful.


Looking forward to..

More time with my cutting machine. I've only just scratched the surface but am totally captured by it, just can't wait to learn more tips and tricks and design my own cut files. 


Feeling..

Really happy right now. I don't know if it's the fact the sun is shining  or whether its the possibilities of the cutting machine making me happy but right now, things are happy happy happy!




Fingers crossed I won't ditch my blog for quite this long before my next post. Despite my new found love for cutting!!
