Mother's Day surprises:
Last week, I was not at my desk because our oldest son flew in on Tuesday for a belated Mother's Day and we spent Wednesday making cheese together. If you would like to check out the photos of fun we had, you can find them on my food blog at The Pantry Life
My Inside Craft Desk:
Today, my inside craft desk is cluttered with scraps left over from my two day online scrapbook class. The class was entitled "Scrapbook Your Story" by Lain Ehmann on Creative Live. Great class, I sort of went into it thinking that because I have scrapbooked for over 30 years, I probably won't learn anything new, but it turned out to be a very informational and mojo building class.
My New Outdoor Crafting Place:
I live at the beach and love to work outside where I can watch and hear the ocean. This past weekend we created a spot on my front porch where I can craft, relax and play with flowers. On a sad note... The flower arrangements came before the crafting this week. The flowers that are included in the photo are some of the bouquets that were for the funeral of a dear friend of mine who lost her battle to cancer over the weekend and her "celebration of life" was today.Hanging out with all of us:
If you are new to my blog and are wondering what "what's on your Workdesk" (WOYWW) is all about, you can check out all the details here at one of my favorite blogs... Stamping Ground

You make cheese?! Wow. I imagine I can just hear the waves lapping as I type. How lovely! Sorry to hear about your friend, though. Hugs, Chris # 17

Sorry to hear about your friend.
Cancer is a wicked illness, hopefully one day we will beat it.
Have a great week and happy crafting, Angela x 41
I'm sorry for the loss of your friends and glad you had a nice visit with your son. I saw bits and pieces of Lain's class -- I was at work, so would jump in while on my lunch break. Happy WOYWW and thanks for your visit. ~ Laura #64
Sorry for your loss. Maybe preserve some of those flowers. Dried, they work into polymer clay wonderfully for beautiful jewelry pieces. Cool that you now have a spot on the porch to be creative and let nature inspire.
Creative Blessings! Kelly #70
Am so sorry for your loss, the flowers are quite beautiful, a really lovely part of your tribute. I should imagine that living by the sea is a very calming and reassuring backdrop to your life, I know it's an ambition of mine!
