  Thought I would show just what an OCD crafter I am this week on WOYWW If you don't have clue what I am on about pop over to the Queen Desks HERE and join in the fun I ordered some embossing folders from Create and Craft and they all arrived today Before I did any crafting they had to be tidied away ready to play Here they all are away in the drawer The picture below shows the drawer with my ebosser mats on top Now tidy I can get down to some crafting Here is the shot of my desk ready to play This is a close up - I am making a Christening card for one of neighbours whose Grandson is being Christened this weekend Not sure why but I have really struggled with this one In fact I have been trying to work it out for a couple of days. At last I have an idea and yes it will involve at least one of the new embossing folders Have a great week thanks for popping by - will visit once I get in from work tomorrow
