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!!

WOYWW 1st December 2010

What is on Your Workdesk Wednesday is upon us again and it's now December!!  December and I haven't put together my Journal Your Christmas book... am trying to keep up with Jessica Sprague's class - Inspiration Everywhere and I still have some cupcakes and Christmas Trees to make!!  Make the world slow down... just a little...
My Mum is flying over from France to visit us for 6 weeks and arrives on Friday... so I have a house to clean before then too...  speaking of which... I had the funniest email from her with the flight details for us to fetch her from the airport on Friday afternoon... where she added that she would be wearing the red suit she had bought when with me at home in Scotland a couple of years ago.... I replied that even though it has been two years since I saw her, I thought I would still recognise her... :)
Anyways.. enough of my blathering on... you are probably here to see what is on my desk...

Looking at this photo I think I may need a new mat soon, I appear to have done a lot of damage to this one with my continuous cutting up of chipboard!  I have been playing with a little book to hold ATC's, which I have made for a very special lady of the WOYWW sort.  Not sure it is her style but she is very well brought up so I know she won't mention it!!

and a clue to the lovely lady in question is dangling off the chains....

BE.... now who could those initials refer to?

Don't forget to pop along to Julia at the Stamping Ground to catch up on the list of of desks revealing all their creativity this Wednesday morning!
