Yup, it's all true - I'm 38 years old today, although I don't feel any more grown-up than I did at 21. In fact it only seems like 5 minutes ago that I was 21. And just to make me feel good about myself, Faith is running around telling everyone that will listen that I'm 38 today lol ,Willow, ever the thoughtful one has been asking if she can have all my craft stuff when I die - charming eh?
The kids are actually a bit upset, because dad is offshore and so they haven't been able to go out and get me anything, so I told them I'd be more than happy if they either drew me a picture or made me a card, so that's their plan when they come home from school today. Graham will be home this afternoon, so I thought I'd treat myself to some new rubber from funkykits, I ordered 3 of the newest release Sassy's - Windswept, Skater Girl and Call Me, along with one of the new Leanne Ellis stamps and the Vintage Baby stamp. And they arrived this morning, perfect timing!
Well, there's no rest for the wicked, have loads of tidying up to do before Grahamy gets home, so I'll leave you with some pics of my new hutch......
Well after I tidied up the desk last week, I decided that the shelf above my desk just wasn't cutting the mustard anymore. I had a bit of a brainstorm and decided I wanted a "hutch" for my desk, googling it came up with plenty of results, but most were more than I had planned to spend. As you know I like to "adapt and overcome" so I decided to use the faux leather dvd unit that I'd bought in Asda ages ago to hold all my 6x6 and 8x8 papers. Well of course it was shorter than my desk, so I nipped down to Asda to buy another 2 and the fab news was they were on offer - 2 for £15.
So this is how it looks....

Happy birthday to you yesterday! I love getting cards too. It doesn`t matter if i don`t get gifts when i get a handmade card. It shows more consideration to get a handmade card. So lucky you, that your kids made you some. That desk must be one of the more tidiest ones i have ever seen. Love the big space you have. My desk is only half of this and accordingly it looks overloaded at all times, hehe. Hope your weekend becomes a great one. Hugs...Mona
Happy Birthday Debs _ I hope you had a great day yesterday. I was offline most of yesterday so I'm a little late but hey better late than never.

Oh Sweetie, don't fret over the kids attitudes! Just wait until you're 50 and they tell you don't want any of your "stuff"...nice...I've willed my scrap room to a dear friend! At 38, you're still young!
that is great organization!

Hiya Debbi
I've recently been added to the Sugar Nellies group on Facebook so have seen you on there loads. As for the hutch idea, great minds think alike, I used a tall DVD storage unit from Ikea and created something very similar. I intend one day to attach it to the wall just above my desk so I will have the space under it as well as the two shelves it creates, you can never have too much storage.
Congratulations on the smoking by the way, I stopped 7 years ago and the money I saved paid for driving lessons and then became my crafting budget, especially as driving enabled be to get to more craft shops, lol.

PS Forgot to say Happy Birthday. I hope you've had a good one.

Happy (to late) birthday to you!!
