A House Card and WOYWW


This is how my desk looks today.  I was asked to sell some of my cards and tags at the upcoming Bizarre Bazaar at The Art Garden, a local community art center where I take mixed media classes.  I was so relieved to find that I had lots left over from last year.  The tags are in the basket, and next to the basket is a fork.  Are you wondering why I have a fork on my work area?  It's because I found a video demonstration on how to tie a bow by using a fork to hold the ribbon in place as it's being formed into a bow.  The bows came out great.  There are also some cards I've been designing for an upcoming card class that I'm teaching, and at the very top is a card that I am linking up to Less is More's One Layer Challenge with the theme "Houses", and the Paper Players Color Challenge #121 using Old Olive, More Mustard and Bravo Burgundy.  Here's a close up.

  8. great card and tags that you have a very neat and tidy desk! I did wonder why the serving fork was there but figured it out when I saw the bows. I will have to try that cause I tried a regular fork and it didn't work! Have a great week and thanks for sharing. Vickie #62
