WOYWW - Late Again

Its Wednesday so its time to share our workdesk with the Queen of Desks Julia If you want to join in the fun click  HERE Firstly an apology some lovely bloggers visited me last week and I never found the time to return the visit, its been on of those weeks that even though I had two days off, I spent it running the kids around and working on my other 'desk' in the garage as I needed to do some work on my Morris Minor and on our modern car. The cards on my week desk where all made on Sunday afternoon when I found some time to craft. My desk will properly sit idle until Friday when I hope to make some decorative candles for my friend to sell to raise money for the MS charity. I will visit as many as I can and again sorry not visiting last week Have a great week
