Workdesk Wednesday - Hopping Down The Bunny Trail

A bit ago (when I say bit, it could be a week or 10 years, I honestly don't remember) , I purchased Easter paper that I had planned on using for Easter cards....Well, long story longer....I couldn't bring myself to cutting into it.  Well, I did it and this is the result.  My friend and co-crafter Mary Jane cut out the eggs.  I do not do well cutting with a scissors.  My tool of choice is an x-acto knife, which I did not bring with me.  So, thank you Mary Jane.  The dies I used were two grass dies, and  a fence.  I rubber stamped the sentiment using a 1994 SonLight Impressions stamp and cut the cloud from the paper (yes....I cut this one!  Don't look too close!)

So....after I finished this card my desk looked kind of like this....well, actually like this!

Sad isn't it....I'm not a very neat crafter and, while I think of one thing to make, other things come to mind....before I show you that, let me show you the inside of this card.  The card stock was cut to 6x12.  The inside is made from half of that piece.

I like this card....yes I do.

Now on to another Easter card and a Boy/Man's Birthday card, which will be my March Card Class.   Carolyn shared an Easter napkin and I decided to use a portion of that napkin.  The bunny graphic is so cute, and the napkin has several different bunnies.  For this card I chose...

The mailing of this card will not break the bank.  It's flat.

This brings me to something that happened to me this week.  I was mailing my son's birthday card (which will be shown next week), I didn't want the US Mail bending this card, so I wrote on the envelope....Do Not Bend.  Those 3 little words added about $1.25 to the price.  I should have said....hand cancel.  That would have added about 20 cents to the postage...lesson learned!

Back to my March class.....and here is my Boys/Men's card:

Karen brought in these fish tail dies...well, what's a girl to do.  I had to purchase them, and then, I needed to justify my purchase by making this card.  The girls have been asking for "boys" birthday cards.  Well here it is.  And for those who don't want the sentiment on the bottom of the card...I have a plan.  I'll show you when you come to class...give Karen a call if you want to join the class.   Speaking of class,  I'm going to start something new.... I am going to be available on class day from 11:00 to 4:00.  I think this will make it easier for everyone to fit the class into their schedule.  So, If you come at 11:00, I can get you started with your card.  I will take a lunch break from Noon to 1:00 feel free to join me or you can continue to work. 

I think of the year by holidays and birthdays and my goodness....this year is flying by.  We're already looking at spring and Easter and I still am thinking Valentines Day....and birthdays...my goodness all of my family and friends are getting older...well, almost all, I've decided to quit counting birthdays.  I shall remain the age I am today...and I'm not sharing that date.  (Amy don't you dare!)

For now I'm off.  Lots to do today.  I started doing spring house cleaning and then decided to take a break...that was Sunday, I guess I should move my tail and get back at it.

Before I go I want to give a shout out to Julia.  I'm sure she's been working hard this week organizing her ribbon.  I'm going to head over to see what her desk looks like today.  Why don't you join me... shall we?  Here we come Julia.

Check out Karen's blog page to see what else she's brought into her  shop.  I'll give you a hint.  can you say Graphic 45?  I love both the Secret Garden and French Country.  The hard part is deciding which one I need to buy right now...if you know me you'll know I'll probably be getting both.  Plus, CartaBella was already in my bag (that's what one of my Easter cards was made of.)

Ok....I'm closing for now.....
Hugs to all,
