WOYWW - A Bit of a 'To Do'.

Hello there, goodness, is it Wednesday already? That must mean it's time for another fun filled foray into other crafters' work spaces worldwide, courtesy of Julia over at Stamping Ground
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.

    1. Well 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! :)

    1. 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.

  8. Can 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.
    Thanks for calling in on me earlier.

  14. Are 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.
    Thanks for your visit - Hugs, neet 31 xx

  25. 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.

    Happy crafting and make sure those people on the wallpaper dont get away. LOL

    Happy belated WOYWW
