It's Podgy here to entertain you today, the other bears are still snoring their furry heads off in the bear bed and I'm the only one awake.
So, what's on the bears' workspace this week? Well, lots of 'to do' projects; for the past week we've not really done any crafts, instead, everything we plan to do has been dumped on the desk, to do later.
First, this wonderful sample of wallpaper, which we're planning to use in our art journal at some stage. Isn't it fab? Horace went shopping for textured lounge wallpaper and just happened to pass the 'cool and funky' wallpaper aisle, he said he just had to bring a piece of this home to show us all.
Next on the messy desk is some junk mail, waiting to be cut up into useful text and images, also for the art journal.
While Horace was out shopping, he popped into the craft shop, and had a bit of a magazine buying frenzy, 3 in total. Two have free Christmas stamps. These;
And these.
I think I'll surprise Pooh and Horace by stamping up some images ready for Christmas card making, I know how stressed they get thinking of all the card making we need to do.
By the way, if you're a fan of challenges, and like reading, maybe you'd like our monthly challenges which can be found Right here.
I'm off to visit some desks now, ttfn.
With love from the bears.
Very good... free stamps!! Not going to manage a WOYWW today... my W is a theatre this week! Have a lovely time stamping, and no stressing!

Free stamps are always good, but are the mags any good? Happy stamping. Francesca #52
ReplyDeleteWell they're okay, but Horace tends to get carried away by the free gift, and doesn't stop to think about the contents of the magazines! :)
DeleteYou seem to have had fun this week. Planning is fun sometimes too. Love the funky wallpaper.... perhaps I'll send one of my bears out for a bit too.
ReplyDeleteLike that big star stamp. Like I need more stamps.... You bear is looking very busy :)

Like the second set best which magazine did they come with please
ReplyDeleteJackie 15
The mag is called Molly Blooms Christmas Carnival magazine. We'd never heard of it before but found it in our local newsagents. It's £7.99.
DeleteCan see why you fell for that wallpaper, it is lovely. Reminds me of some I had on my bedroom wall as a teenager - always wanted to colour it in but that would have been serious trouble for me.
ReplyDeleteThanks for calling in on me earlier.

Happy WOYWW

We liked it, the Nov edition is due on Friday though so you may not get October's now.
DeleteEh?! How did that happen...i missed a whole month :o
DeleteI love reading too, my favorite are mystery novels that continue to the next book, it's hard for me to give up certain characters! lol Looks like you got a fun stash to play with, happy Christmas card making! Sounds like you have a lot to do! waving hi from the hills of North Carolina :)
ReplyDeleteThat is the cutest wallpaper!!! Have fun with your Christmas cards!
ReplyDeleteYour bear family have been so busy and have shown us so many things this week. Thank you for your visit today and have a great week with your Christmas cards. xx Maggie #36
ReplyDeleteFabulous wallpaper and what great crafting magazine goodies. I am not emotional prepared for Christmas yet. Nope, nope, nope! Can't make me!
ReplyDeleteAre ALL those stamps freebies? Wow! Hope Horace goes shopping more often. I saw that same wallpaper when I was looking at wallpaper just last week but never thought to bring a sample home - had too many of the things I wanted I guess.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your visit - Hugs, neet 31 xx
He also bought us Stamping Inspiration for you, which had yet more free stamps on, he's a canny shopper.
DeleteOh I do love that wallpaper! Looks as though you're going to have fun with all those stamps! Chris@60

ReplyDeleteOh free stamps I got some too in magazines last week will have to look and see for xmas ones.. Thanks for visiting my blog earlier. Sandy :)
ReplyDeleteAwesome Podgy! I love free stamps and always look forward to the magazines coming. Went and spent too much money on Halloween goodies the other day so might have to rely on the freebies this month! Have a great week. Vickie #22
ReplyDeleteWOW!! I wish we had magazines over here with free stamp sets in them! How cool is that?!?!
ReplyDeleteLove the wallpaper! I have a bunch of old wallpaper sample books that a friend got me from a hardware store when they were about the throw them out. Endless supply of scrapbook paper!!!

Lovely wallpaper! Glad you are planning Christmas, Podgy. Sorry to be visiting you and the bears so late.

Hi Podgy, I think you are the most handsome bear of them all but don't tell the others, I have a bear just like you but very very old and I still love him to bits. Interesting mags you are reading and always a bonus getting free stamps.
ReplyDeleteHappy crafting and make sure those people on the wallpaper dont get away. LOL
Happy belated WOYWW
