We are sponsored by All Dressed Up this week!
The cards are mostly Project Life Midnight Edition.  The embellishments are mostly Recollections Valentines.  The corrugated card Family is Jillibean Soup.

I can't show what I am working on, a secret for later in the week!  Ssshhh!
Instead I covered it all up with some of my latest purchases from Michaels. I felt in the need for some retail therapy and only TJ Maxx or Michaels fits the bill for me!
The valentines range were all 40% off, hence I bought a few bits!  I did have a 40% off coupon so I also had  to splurge on the new Maggie Holmes Project Life Core kit!  I am going to have to have a craft room reshuffle now to accommodate all of my PL kits and new PL albums!

Working on Project Life again this week although it is slow going what with the MLK holiday on Monday then we went to a Pink concert followed by my regular volunteering stint and then a Sundance movie! (Which was fantastic, I must say!) It has been a hectic start to the week, hoping for some time to play now!
I am working on the first page of my 2013 PL album.  
You can see the back page for this album here.  I have most of my photos in place now for the whole album but a lot of the pages need the journaling and also some creative flair added! 
Still, even though it is not yet complete I plan to get a start on my 2014 album very soon!
If you would like to share your workspace today pop on over to Julia's blog for more details!

WOYWW

It has been a while since I joined in with WOYWW!  I have missed my little nosey around blog land and hope to do some visiting this week!
Our mums left last week after staying with us for a month! I barely ventured into the craft room during that time but  I am getting sorted now and creating up a storm!  I also sorted out some supplies that will work well with Project Life and have them on display so that they are easy to see.  I forget what I have if they are tucked away and then they aren't ever used! 
Keeping it short and sweet this week as I am still catching up with everything but I know that is the way Julia likes it anyway!
To join in and see lots of other desks pop on over to Julia's blog!
Thanks for dropping by!
