WOYWW #685 & Stamp Me Some Love cardmaking summit

 Good morning, everyone!

Wow! I can't believe I actually get to stay home for the next few days. Seems I've been on the go forever!!

Before I show you my desk, I want to share some information with you. I signed up for the STAMP ME SOME LOVE Cardmaking summit taking place on line the end of this month. There will be over 25 classes!! That's a lot of cardmaking led by talented artists. The summit is FREE with a couple of caveats. 

1 - Each class video is only available for 24 hours. Meaning Day 1 classes will be replaced with Day 2 classes in that same time slot. 

2 - You can have lifetime access plus a ton of other goodies not offered in the free version. 

I signed up with Tiffany Solorio's affiliate link (her info in the short video below) . I paid for the summit because, of course, Bob comes home the day before we start! LOL I try to not to 'work'  the first and last weekend he is home.

The platform is designed to get our Christmas cards done - or at least get our crafty brains in gear - for the holiday season. 

Here's Tiffany's video with all of the info:

Tiffany is going to be working with Lyndi's Magicals in her class, but she says you can use watercolors just as easily. Because I want to start collecting the Magicals, I ordered the Jingle Bells collection from Spectrum Art Creations. They should be here Monday.

Okay, on to what you really came for:

I wound up not getting anything done on the desk because on Wednesday I found out about a 3-day writing conference on youtube airing over the weekend. I know we have some writers on here so I'll share the link to the AuthorTube Writer's Conference. All of the videos from the conference are still available for replay. Just click on the YouTube icon next to the sessions that interest you. The dates for 2023 are already schedule. Somewhere around June 25th, I believe. 

Anyhow, I've cleared space here, on the ironing board and the floor to move all of my Little Golden Book collection off the shelf above the sofa.

I need to take all of them down, clean then rearrange to make room for this:

Bob bought this for me at an Antique Mall last fall. As best I can tell, nothing has ever been removed from the original packaging. Only the clear plastic has become brittle and coming apart over time. I still need to email Hasbro to see if they can tell me when this was released. I do have a Little Golden Book copy of Dr. Dan the Band-aid Man.

That's it for my desk (and story) this week. Who's Miss Julia and why am I here?  When you are done visiting me in the Ozarks, please hop on over to Stamping Ground for all the details. Miss Julia has a long list of other studios you can peek into. No standing on an up-turned milk pail to look in the window. We open the doors wide and welcome you.  Please leave your number and you'll be among the first on my list.

 Creative Blessings!
