WOYWW 26th January 2010

Here we are almost at the end of the first month of 2011 and the weeks seem to speeding by!  My work desk is looking pretty tidy for a couple of reasons, the first being that I haven't had a lot of time lately for sitting and playing and the other, I tidied up after a project a few days ago!

A couple more envelopes which are now finished and should be going in the post in the next day or so.

The close up pic doesn't do the colours justice as they are far more vivid - as you can see from the desk photo.

This is the other side of it - not a proper envelope as one end is open for a large tag.

The colour is washed out in this photo too - it's very difficult to get proper colours in the light I have here... I think I need to invest in a proper lighting box setup.

This is the back - love these papers but I have lost the front cover so haven't a clue who made them! 

Here are the close ups of the letters in frames I did last week.

and speaking of dream.... we went to Lake Louise in the Rockies on Sunday to see the Ice Festival.  The scenery was spectacular, the chateau is huge and overlooks the Lake - which was frozen completely solid and people were skating on it.  the ice sculptors had done a magnificent job of carving the humungous slabs of ice into magical forms.

This was a huge castle carved from blocks of ice actually on the frozen lake.

This dragon looking in the mirror was carved by the British team - called 'Who's the fairest of them all'.

This was a rabbit pulling a child from the hat!

and look who managed to get her photo taken with two Mounties???  I didn't realise just how tall they were till I saw the photo... I think I must be shrinking... (eat your heart out Toni)!!

Don't forget to check out the other desks - pop over to Chief Inspector Snoop of the Desks - aka Julia.
