WOYWW 27th July 2011

Another week whizzes past at the speed of light... though I have managed to finish a book I have been working on and I have loads of stuff in the pipeline to play with.
This is my desk... with the almost finished book... I have wanted a bigger version of the books I make for keeping ATC's... so made myself this one.  The first half is for ATC's that people have sent to me and the second half is for storing ATC's I make ready for swapping.   Also on the desk are a couple of lovely finds I bought this morning... the Tisane box is going to 'altered' to sit on my desk with little embellies in because it opens front ways and will make getting to stuff super easy and I love the To Do list... its a frame with a clipboard at the top... I'm thinking of adding a pic of a melon to the To Do title.... a honey dew melon.... get it?  Get it?  Hmmm, not sure Chris will appreciate it either!! LOL
Clever eh?  Just need to find the papers I want to use on it...
On my other desk are a couple of ampersands I found... as soon as I have time I am going to have a go at changing their appearance!! ;)  In the front of those is the cardboard from a new set of sheets... I unwrapped the sheets and pulled the cardboard out and looked at it.... yep... it looks just like a book!  I grabbed the cardboard and headed off to the scrap room with it... only found the sheets discarded on the bed a couple of hours later... you know you have a problem when everything looks like the makings of a book...
Here is a close up of the ATC book.  Graphic 45 Curtain Call papers... 
I have put a normal paper page between each set of the ATC holder pages.
I put these together quickly because I didn't like empty pages looking back at me!!
Another paper page...
and another quick set for the book!
Don't forget to pop on over to the Queen of the Desk Inspectors... Julia, to check out the list!!

    These ATCs are going to make me want to get back into making them. I've been so busy with fabric, I've forgotten about ATCs. I'm totally impressed with the book you made, too. Got a laugh about the sheets. Sounds like your distraction was worth it, though. And I really like that Tisane box. It will definitely be handy.

    I hope your weather isn't too bad. I read on Julia's blog about your thunderstorm today. I bet the cats really did want to be snuggled up next to you. And I know that snuggling can be downright hot, too. Don't worry. I'm sleeping under the AC. I have a window unit in my office, where I usually end up sleeping, anyway that is in addition to the central air. I can take the cold, but don't do well with heat at all. So I'll be under the AC most of Wednesday.

    Can't wait to see what you do with the cardboard 'book'.

    Haha, I do that with cardboard, too! Seems such a shame to waste it when someone has magically folded it just right! Your tisane box is fab - can't wait to see what you do with it.

    Beautiful ATC’s and I love the book you’ve made for storing them, I think it’s nice when you can come up with something yourself for storage rather than something from the shops.

    Love the box for your desk too, it’s going to be a great asset for keeping things close to you on your desk.

    Happy Crafting

    Oh, I love your ATC book. Seems like they are very popular on blogs today. :) I'll certainly have to get one for myself. I have ATC's scattered in my drawer now.

    Yes, lovely desk this week - love that tisane box too. I don't think there is a cure for your particular problem - there's no help for it, you'll just have to keep on making books :) Have a great week. Elizabeth x #59

Thank you for taking the time to leave your comment, it is truly appreciated - sort of confirms that it is more than my Mum and husband that read this thing! :)
