Welcome back to another round of WOYWW, the weekly wonder that is set up by the fabulous JD herself. I missed taking part last week but real life got in the way unfortunately. Only so many hours in the day!
First up - Happy Birthday to ya, LLJ! Hope you have a fabby day!
Secondly - here's my desk:
Bit of a mess, eh? This was how I left it on Tuesday night, and I can't show what I was working on 'cos it's not finished and it's meant to be a surprise for someone!
I have worked on other things this last fortnight, including these two cards:
I don't know about you, but all the cards in the shops say "a new baby", "leaving to have a baby" or just "leaving". What about those ladies intending to come back? So I made the above for work. Main topper courtesy of Crafts U Print. Copious amounts of Stickles were employed, along with slap dash use of general bling.
And Lil' Miss B had a birthday too, so I made the following. I see I missed a bit.... LOL
Lastly, meet the new member of our pack. I won't go into the boring details, but he's a rescue from Hull and his name is Hamish. Peeking out from under him is Arwen, and just to the right of the picture is Twig. On the left, Mr B (but I guess you knew that already!) We've had him 10 days now, and he's starting to settle, though at not quite 4 years old, he's still quite a puppy in some ways, and has his nose in everything!
Well, not quite as short and sweet as I would have liked, but heigh ho!
It appears I'm taking part in the Great British Blog Hop on Thursday. Eeek....

Welcome, Hamish! What a handsome chappy you are, to be sure!
Your desk looks intriguing, Morti, and mysterious! No doubt all wil be revealed in due course... What a good idea making a card for someone leaving for maternity leave. I must say I've never seen one in the shops - maybe you should start a trend!
Missed you last week. There were several of the regulars missing, off doing something else no doubt.
Happy WOYWW,

Looks like something interesting is happening on your desk. Lovely doggies - no doubt they make sure you get plenty of exercise!

What a lovely doggy family. I have 3 myself so you must be as nutty as I am!
Love your cards, especially the birthday one. It would be perfect for my daughter.

interesting bits on your desk - maybe some Tim that I see? hmmm? dani #26
Oh what fabulous doggies, lucky you to be able to have three dogs - we're only allowed two here in backward Queensland! And good on you for doing the rescue thing, should be more people do that.
Cheers, Elaine #22
Hi Morti,
The cards are great. I'm sure your co-worker will love the maternity leave card. Isn't that weird that there isn't something like that out in the world - especially with a lot of working moms.
The punk-looking birthday girl is cute too.
Congrats on the new member of the pack. My home has lost two pets since March so I'm down to only Katie dog. bless her heart.
Happy WOYWW
Hugs,

A big welcome to Hamish and the rest of the crew. Love all you cards and please do post a pic of your finished surprise.

WOW nice post! Love the two cards you made and I agree on the leave and baby business. I sometimes think we forget Momma! Love your new fur baby he looks like he is settling in well. Have a great day. Vickie #40
What a gorgeous, absolutely gorgeous, dog! The others seem very comfortable with him.
Great cards, love the maternity one especially - what a fab idea. But seeing they come from such a great desk photographed above and your skillful hands what could one expect.
Thanks for sharing - Hugs, neet xx #27
awww...they are so cute. I miss my pooches. Hope to see them in Oct for a week if we ever manage to get sorted for a flight

Both your cards are lovely and Hamish is just gorgeous - and how good are you for rescuing him - well done you. He looks as though he is going to be one very happy doggie. Anne x #58
lovely crafting desk with plenty going on.
Lovely dogs as well.
Great post today, love Hamish - hope he'll be happy with you all. Helen, 24
A super busy looking desk there and some fab cards.
LOving the new addition to the family and I know what you mean about him still being apuppy. Our rescue Husky is still a puppy at 4 and shows no signs of growing up anytime soon lol
WOW your desk looks really busy! happy WOYWW, jenx 71
2 cards and another unrevealed project...you have been busy crafting! I will check for you on the great British blog hop.
Firstly DONT PANIC if you get chance to create something today that will be brilliant but if not dont worry its only for fun and I wouldnt want you to get stressed! Love the picture of the dogs - I would love a dog but keep telling myself that they are much too much hard work....
Bob is a big dog - our vet says big dogs don't amture for ages
bob is 12 and he thinkshe is a puppy, Hamish is adorable and will I am sure settle rapidly into his new home - Milo just came and left me an aroma gift...
ah the joy of dog ownership,
euckkk sorry - going to have to go make a cup of tea whilst the air clears,

Wow, another huge dog!! He IS gorgeous though, you'll have to fill me in on the story of how you found him when we meet next week!!
Thank you for the birthday wishes!! I really love the card you made for Lil Miss B...very funky :D
Hugs, LLJ #1 xx
Love Hamish :) and the birthday card is adorable.
Have a happy WOYWW!

You seem to specialise in long and complicated to make cards and choosing very large dogs!! Well done on your rescue and welcome to Hamish..isn't he handsome! And yes, I could tell Mr B from the Dogs!
What a handsome chap Hamish is, lucky him to find you to look after him. Love your interesting desk. francesca #90
Fab projects and your dog is a beauty! x Jo
What wonderful cards on display! Looks like three happy furry friends! Thanks for sharing! Glenda 93
Hamish is a beautiful boy, thats for sure!!!! Will be watching out for the blog hop! Trish #10
Hi Morti - I love the lettering on the Birthday card. Very cool. Great image of a rock chick too. Hamish is a real cutie. How did his fur get so fluffy - he looks like he's put his nose in a plug socket - We have one retriever so I can only imagine your fur problem! WOYWW Hugs from Helen 19
I love your cards but you are well eclipsed this week by Hamish who is just drop dead gorgeous.
Love JoZarty x
Looks like there's a lot going on at your workspace. Welcome to your new pooch, we hope he's settling in well.
Fine cards, but the dogs, oh my, what handsome fellows!!!

Thanks for your visit, Morti. Regarding the annotated photos, Photoshop Elements isn't strictly a desktop publishing application but a bitmap graphics editor, but I guess whatever works best for you lol!!
Have a great weekend.
