WOYWW 22nd June 2011

My desk is pristeen... all sparkly clean and tidy!!
I scrubbed and put away and scrubbed some more... well, it did need it, as I had bits and bobs all over the place from working on the book all week!!
Yes... that book!!  I hadn't heard from my niece about supplying me with the photos I wanted to put it into it and then I thought... well, do something else!!   So I did....
Here is a close-up of the dangly bits hanging from the wire.
A few days before I left Saudi Arabia, the ladies gave me a going away lunch and photoshoot... and so I have now claimed the book for me!! ;)  I can't think of a better gift for a scrapper than lovely photos to scrap as reminders of the friends and fun times we shared.

Smaller booklet section in the middle.

We had a lovely time playing about!

Don't you love this stamp?

    When I saw your desk area I thought WOW what a lovely place to stamp (love the words on the wall) and imagined that was it. But, no, I was treated to one of your books again. Absolutely fabulous! I love what you do and this was no exception - another fantastic creation. Love it! Hugs, Neet #9

    I knew these were Graphic 45 when I first saw these pages. Not sure if I missed that before or not. I LOVE those shoes you were wearing. Of course, I could never wear them, but they are gorgeous on your feet. And this is a perfect book to put your friends and memories in. A shame your niece missed out on this lovely opportunity. As for that stamp? I'm getting excited!

    Amazing book Annette - those PPs are just perfect. What a lovely way to treasure those memories.

    I know your desk is usually tidy but I think this is going a little too far...LOL...can't you scatter some scraps or something **giggle**

    What an amazing book, I really must have a go at making one, not sure if I have enough imagination to make each page a work of art.
    Thank you for showing and the inspiration.

    I do love how you're lamenting the tidy desks of the world, so I come over here expecting a messy one and what do I find???? Yes, a tidy desk, lol! Lovely book and a great memento of your friends... let's just hope the niece doesn't decide to send you some photos now!!

    OMG! That I made This stamp is FAB. I bet it shames a few recipients into at least saying WOW - thank You! rather than tossing it on to the table dismissively. Worth the purchase price for that.

    And LOL! You and me with clean desks. Not any more for me, How YOU doin'? (said in a perfect Joey-from-Friends NY drawl....)

    Oh Annette - how fab! The pictures are just perfect for your book, perhaps subconsciously you had those in mind when you were making it? It's a great record of your leaving do and your niece is going to kick herself when she realises what she's missed out on.
    Now, the big question is, what make is that stamp? I love it...
