WOYWW (Stop by and see what everyone's work desk looks like!) Well mine is covered with a good news/bad news scenario. Our local art supply store Bella's had to close it's doors because it could no longer compete with the internet prices. I enjoyed the owner immensely and will miss dropping by to say hi. I shop locally when I can and probably spent half my art budget at the local store but certain items were just too expensive for me to buy locally and then I'd resort to the internet so that I could have a coveted this or that supply. Anyway, the going out of business sale garnered me these wonderful items and truly $3 copic sketch markers ....WOW!
Also interspersed with my new supplies are a sugar skull I created yesterday for Day of the Dead and an Inchie that I framed. Can you believe you can get Inchie Frames now!!! Also some Diet Coke pop tops so I can enter my codes to get free stuff and a pattern template for a little Owl stuffy I hope to make soon.

There was another corner to my desk but it has to stay in hiding because they were Secret Santa presents. I'm on the staff over at ATCs for All and we have a Staff Secret Santa swap going on. I'll share those items after they are received and opened by the recipient.

| Bean and Yuki |
This is Bean and Yuki they were both rescues. Puppies that had come out of a Puppy Mill and where going to be put down because they had expensive medical conditions. Bean has an auto-immune disease of the eye and Yuki had Parvo at 5 weeks and was on death's door. I am happy to say 14 and 13 years later they are both happy, thriving little beasties that provide loads of love and lap cuddle time!

Hi Robin,
My favorite craft store closed too! It's always a joy to wander around and look at a bricks and mortar shop and see what's available, rather than online! Cute inchies! Did not know about the inchies frames! Patsy from

Thanks for the peek at your space this week, just sorry I can't stay longer! Hope the rest of the week goes well for you.
It's true about your local store. Mostly the have to close and that's not the best thing. I want to see what I buy, not only on a computer screen. Love your inchies. They are so accurate (is that the right word?) Thanks for sharing. Bye, Franka
Hi there Robin ah so know what you mean about shops closing down - but ours chose not to discount very much at all, and not sure where the stock went but, ka-boom! it vanished - so maybe they went on internet too! thanks for popping over and leaving comments - happy WOYWW Shaz in Oz.x
I love the little inchie frames - never seen those before. Imagine you could have a huge gallery in a foot of space!
