What's On My Workdesk Wednesday

Morning folks...I really enjoyed my day out at the flicks with my buddy Debbi...War Horse is a beautiful emotive and heartwarming story of the love and trust between man and horse...a real tear jerker with a lump in the throat happy ending and oh yes we did ourselves proud in the bubble stakes...exiting into daylight with faces resembling torn scones but hey a good old bubble occasionally does you the world of good. The only downside was the rip off parking charges at Union Square...how can it be more expensive for your car to sit in the car park than for you to sit in the cinema for 2 and a half hours. But I've been swinging the lead a bit too often lately so today's definitely going to be a stay at home cosy cubbyhole day and it's Wednesday which means it's time to join in the fun over at Julia's place aka WOYWW where all the fun crafters hang out.
So what's on my workdesk today...new goodies from Hero Arts 2012 Catalogue...I know I sound like a broken record but they truly have excelled themselves AGAIN with this collection and isn't it strange how Mr Mojo is chomping at the bit when the Heros are around so I'll be making hay while the sun shines...time to get cracking with the samples for my Demo Day at The Papeterie in March....
 just a little sneaky peek...
Wooohooo...I've just been watching a video from CHA of The Lord of All Things Holtziness demo-ing his brand new Distress Markers...oh my giddy aunt...they've just jumped right to the top of my wish list...fabulous or what....you can take a peek HERE if you dare...I'll see you all tomorrow.
Hugs Kath xxx
Edited to add....The Furry Boy has chosen his Candi Stamps winner....scroll down to check if it's YOU

  24. Love the sneak peek, I love Hero Arts stamps, want the newsprint one particularly. Have seen Sir Tim pens - Wow - he said they would be $3.50 each in the US, so guess here in the UK they they will cost a bit for all 36 but at least they will be available individually too!! His new stamps are not bad either........oh dear.

  40. Love all your new stamps ...and the peek you teased us with.
    I had a peek at the pens too ...although I will say WOW ...they have a lot of the properties of Marvy La Plume pens, which I have loads of and dont use very often so I think I will be able to resist them ....though I might treat myself to a few ... maybe lol.

  43. Kath, thanks for stopping by my blog. Now I know why I have never purchased markers before. These are incredible. Yep, had to check out that video. Two weeks and you will be in hog heaven, I'm sure.

  44. Now you see, I refuse to go see war Horse cause I knew it was going to be a tear jerker, now you have confirmed it! lol I don't cry well in public places, snorting and blubbering just isn't attractive...lol Oh well, glad you had a good time! waving hi from the hills of NC :)

  45. *sigh* Showing off more new Hero Arts, huh? How much are they paying you to turn us all into dithering addicts saying "want! want!"?

    Great project in the works. Thanks for the movie review. A pal was asking about it but it isn't my type of movie so I had no input.

  48. So glad you enjoyed War Horse, I did too... it was great to see a movie where no one made the 'enemy' into awful people just normal types in a horrid situation and that horse was brilliant.

  49. Those stamps look scrummy - I'll have to look for a video on what you can do with those markers as I haven't seen any yet, but I want them anyway! lol
    Doing the woyww rounds, looks like it's gonna take a while!
