WOYWW 174 and Crafting Ireland Issue 13

What's on my workspace right now? Nothing. Just my mat. I missed checking in with you all last week due to a tree falling on my car during a storm. I won't bore everyone with the details since I posted about it last Friday. But if you would like to read about it you can check here.

Anyway, in the midst of all that drama I did manage to finish five design team layouts. And then I did a big clean-up so I am between projects once again. I think I will go back to working on my mother-in-law's Ireland album until the next kit comes.

I do have a project I can show though. The new issue of Crafting Ireland is up and I have some Christmas tags in there.
The rest of the article is on page 29 with a bit of a tutorial. And they also featured my craft room on page 64 this issue :)
You can see the whole magazine here.
Lots of fun projects this time around and most are Halloween related. Like Felicia's very cool Haunted House and Aideen's amazing home made Halloween Daybook.
I think mine is the only Christmas article in there this time around. But next issue will have a lot more :)

Since school has started and I will be volunteering some Wednesdays there, I may only be able to participate in WOYWW every other week. But I don't want to give it up completely because I look forward to chatting with all of you and seeing what you have been up to :)
And for any of my readers who don't know what WOYWW is but would like to find out more, here is the blog where it all begins - Julia's blog.

Hope you have a great week!

  9. Goodness me, I read the post about your van, how awful for you but you are right, at least no one was hurt. Still, until you get your van sorted out it does have a major impact on your life. Hope it all gets sorted soon.

    Love your tags, they are really beautiful and thank you for the link to the magazine again, I lost the previous one. I want to see all those Halloween projects you mentioned.

    Thanks for visiting me, Anne x #13

  33. Adorable tags! I am an every other week participant on WOYWW too. Some weeks I post MWF, some weeks I post TTh so I don't make it every week. But I feel the same way, it's too fun to miss out on all the time. :)
