Here's my desk this morning
A bit of a dumping ground. Nothing further has happened on the journal page which is now buried beneath a pile of stuff. I bought some lovely sheets of gems on a little trip to Hobbycraft and found a lovely wooden whirlygig organiser for my desk from a new shop nearby. I also discovered foamiran last week after watching a lady demo it on the telebox, which is what's in the plastic bag.
This makes lovely flowers very easily by heating it and scrunching it. I'm still learning but this was my first attempt. I can see this becoming a bit of an obsession as it's only 60p for a A4 sheet and that'll make loads of flowers. As you can see I ended up buying lots of colours to play with.
I also received another beautiful ATC from Morti, thanks so much, I love it.
Well, short and sweet from me today. Exams have finished.....hurray. We are now lurching towards prom night. I wish we'd had such things in my day. Pretty dresses and fancy hair do's.
I'll leave you with a photo of the garden I took very early on Monday morning.
If you want to share your desk with us then pop over to WOYWW and link up with the lovely Julia.
Enjoy your Wednesday whatever you are up to and Happy Crafting!!

I hadn't heard of Foamiran before, those flowers look great, especially for a first attempt. I'm in the middle of prom invitations (Middle school) at the moment. Hope 'yours' goes well. Sarah #28
Hi Lisa, love the swirly thing! I have a couple now, they make keeping stuff we use all the time close to hand so easy. Heard about Foamiron on a US forum, sounds very interesting. Have a lovely week, Hugs, Shaz #9 XxX

Gorgeous pictures, Lisa - your flowers are lovely. I've never heard of that stuff before. Nice new stash to play with! And what a beautiful ATC. Thank you for your visit and your sweet comment about our poor kitties. I so want to be able to report that we've got our new babies but so far no joy. I'm sure something will turn up soon, though.
Happy WOYWW,

Lovely post Lisa - that little flower is so pretty - very clever. x Jo
Still tidier than mine! I bought some of the silk foamiran recently which you don't have to heat, but couldn't get on with it - maybe it was too hot for it? I've ordered some of the normal kind so will have a play with that. There's a foamiran group on Facebook if you're interested and there was talk today of arranging a day course near Manchester in the future. I'm totally impressed with your flowers, not even going to show mine!
Hi Lisa, sorry I didn't get back to you last week, you left such a nice comment on mine! My lettuce is in a pot, high off the ground, so no bunnies or other creepie crawlies can get at it! The end of school, everyone is finally relaxed, prom night - I never went to mine, I regret it now, but at the time I wasn't bothered! My daughter went to hers, however, and probably had enough fun for both of us! Love your flowers - both real and faux! Thanks for sharing, Lindart #41
Loving your new whirligig! I thought that was what desks were for Lol! You mean you are not meant to use them as a dumping ground! Pleased you like my new profile pic too. Thanks for the visit to mine and happy woyww, Angela x22x
Those flowers are stunning...Never heard of this product off to look it up... Have a happy week ahead... May#21
Ah yes we are in mild panic stations here as DD's prom dress arrived with a broken zip! It's on it's way back and we are praying that the replacement arrives in time.
Love that foam stuff, I may have to investigate further, it's not often a new craft thing is so cheap to try! Your flowers are beautiful!
Have a great week.
