Well, we are back in town and after a week with the Hubbums out of town and then an immediate whirlwind unexpected trip to Denver over the weekend, it's been a little nutty! I haven't had a chance to work on anything new, really, but I did make a little progress on this tiny doll that I started. It's going to be one of those ones that I work on here and there, as my vision for it seems to be coming in pieces, rather than in a whole finished product kind of way. These always end up so interesting!
Other than that, this is what my desk looks like:
The usual mess and a puppy toy that is currently in the 'puppy toy hospital' as it got torn and this is a favorite, so I'm going to stitch it up. (Or, perhaps just take a trip to IKEA to get a new one, seeing as they are $2 and the other one already got 'disemboweled' so to speak. Just say'n.)
I also wanted to extend a HUGE welcome to those of you who are visiting from the Tombow blog!!! I am so excited to be sharing over there and so excited to see some new faces over here! Leave a comment and I will make a point to come visit your blog if you have one! You can also find me on Facebook (see sidebar) and Twitter!
Also, because Tombow is AWESOME! They are allowing me to give away here on my blog my THREE favorite adhesives! The Classic Mono Adhesive Roller, the Powerbond Mono Adhesive Roller AND the Mono Adhesive Glue Pen! Oh, and that's not all, folks! They are also going to throw in a set of the Manga markers that I have been using and loving SO much! Just leave a comment on THIS post to be entered! And...the BEST part - they are doing the SAME giveaway on THEIR BLOG, too! So check it all out!
OH!!!! And if you didn't see it already you totally have to check out my last post for Wordless Wednesday because I got to go to Bliss Cupcakes in Denver and I had a SUPER yummy Pistachio cupcake that made me SUPER HAPPY!!!!! Go see! You know you wanna! (P.S. I {heart} cupcake shops. Just say'n.)
To see some more fabulous workspaces head on over to The Stamping Ground!
Oh how exciting...CONGRATS!! I love me some Tombow and would not mind winning some for sure! Thanks for the giveaway...and for making me want a cupcake :D

That doll is little - I love that your inspiration is coming in pieces - she'll be really eclectic when finished. Your desk is stil covered in interesting I must say.
