It took all of Thursday evening plus this morning to put the craft desk together (bloody flat pack) accompanied by a lot of huffing, puffing, swearing and sweating (bit hot in there this morning!) but at last it is ready :-) I made my first card at my super new desk this afternoon, one for a challenge so I will post that next.
