To kick things off, here is a piccie of my desk which really isn't very inspiring at all!
There's the usual pile of Distress Inks with some Cut 'n Dry, scissors, 3d foam pads, Cosmic Shimmer Mica Powders and a Creative Expressions Teresa Collins Paper Pad (which I am totally in love with!) Other than that, just the usual mess of tools and bits of card from projects I'd finished but not tidied up. The only other thing on the desk is an index card which is what I write all the step by step instructions on when I'm designing a project. This one is top secret so no peeking! All I can say is that it's to do with some brand new products that are being shown on C&C in November!!
Over at the Creative Studios blog it's my day for the DT project and I've come up with this one.
I've used 2 sets of Sam Poole's Vintage stamps...Inventors and Treasures, as well as an A6 background stamp. I've put a full set of step by steps on the blog so if you're interested, head over to the link on the right that says Sam then go to the DT link at the top. All of the products are available from Sam's on-line shop.
In other news, the dig is going really well, just upset that I'm not there now!! There's been a lot of coverage in the National newspapers including a full page in the Times last week. I'll keep you informed about any new finds but if you're interested in it, Amesbury Museum are on Facebook and have lots of photos. It's also where they let you know about future digs and if volunteers are needed.
And finally! The fabulous Sue Wilson has just launched a series of video tutorials on her blog (Particraft). She started them yesterday and will have 3 a week. Do go and have a look, she is totally amazing.
Thank you for vising and leaving such wonderful comments. I'll be a bit late visiting this week as I'm off to Creative Expressions Towers today to meet the other DT members. I'm so excited (even if it is a 3 hour drive to get there!!!) Luckily, my wonderful OH has volunteered for driving duty! Many thanks to those who have become blog followers...just another 14 and the draw will take place!
Until next time, have a very happy, crafty week!

So glad the dig is going well, sorry I didn't get over there....
I like the Victorian gentleman, he's very Steampunky indeed. All the elements work together so well, the colour, patterns, stamps....I like it!
Have fun at your creative Do :-)

Love all that ink! I just took all my ink and labeled them as you did on all sides....I was tired of turning them around to see the color...now, no matter where I put them I can see the color...must be my age.
Hugs, Robin 23
Now you are just teasing!!!!
Hope you have a great day today with the CE team, it's great getting together with fellow team mates isn't it.

Your DT project is superb, Pam! I do love that quote so much! It's no fair saying "no peeking" to me when I'm hear to SNOOP, LOL!! Happy WOYWW! Have a wonderful week and thanks for stopping by to visit me! Darnell #12
I've been trying to read you notes but can't make much of it out! The card is lovely, hope you're having/had a great time with your fellow DT's. The dig photos in the earlier posts are really fascinating, are you going to get back there again?

Hi Pam
What an interesting page, what with your talk of digs, working on cruise ships and going off for the weekend. It all sounds very exciting!
Thanks for commenting on my blog. Nice to know that even the professionals amongst find themselves keeping stuff for special occasions!
Have a fun filled week.

Fabulous card! Thanks for the visit. I have followed Crystal Palace while Ian Holloway was in charge. He is a great Bristol Rovers legend and a lovely man who I have met a number of times. I was sorry to see him leave CP but I think he made a dignified and unselfish decision based on what he thought right for the club. Ah well there's always another game on Saturday! Take care Zo xx 70
I'm late Pam, so hope the CE DT meet was as much fun as it promised to be! I'm on the ipad so can't enlarge enough to try to decipher your notes..but If I could..well. You know how nosey I am!
Hi Pam! Lovely card. I love Sam's stamps but couldn't decide whether to get this set. Thanks for your lovely comment, have a good week. Cindy
Lovely card design, you sound so busy!
Thank you for visiting,

Hey Pam, thanks for swinging by yesterday, sorry I didn't get to pop by. I love your card this week, hope you have fun with your DT posse! Cx #37
Love your DT, I really like the old style look. Hope you find plenty on your dig, if you can get back there.
Have a great week,

Fascinating post, Pam - my hubby is really interested in archaeology and has been involved two years running in a local dig here in S. Devon - an important Roman find. Love your steampunk card, and what a great sentiment - we should all think like Edison!
Thanks for your lovely comment - I am thrilled with my new ARThaven! One day I shall get it properly organised... I shall come up with a suitable alternative for the doorplates, I am sure, and perhaps more experimentation is needed. I'm looking forward to painting them!
I love the title of your blog! ROFL!
Happy belated WOYWW,
Shoshi #65

Hi Pam - late catching up with visiting this week - rather crazy here! Thanks for visiting - so glad you like the finished advent calendar - I can't wait for December 1st. I think I shall have to find some very special treats for inside the little pieces....
You certainly keep busy, don't you? Your desk and work looks great. Well done.
Have a great week.
