WOYWW


As you can see... there is not a lot going on with my desk today.... I took this photo before I left the house this morning to go to Al Khobar for some retail therapy!!  Zamiles, the 'scrapshop' in Al Khobar has a section where there is all sorts of lovely hardware bits and I wanted to stock up on them... plus get more double sided tape and I can never resist the lace and ribbons....
so this is the desk this afternoon after I returned with my haul!!  LOL I have rikrak and ribbon and lace and silk and strands of pearls and coloured wire and flowers and heaps of brass things that will look great once I have 'distressed' them a little!!
This is the dream box that I was in the process of making and filling last week. I have decided that I will put my wedding photos and memorabilia in it.
These are all the bits that I have filled it with so far... my wedding photos are still in the UK so its one of those 'will have to completed later' type of projects.
This is the narrower version I made as a class example and I used Time as the theme.
With the book inside - which also needs finishing off!!

  12. Both boxes are fab but I really love the "Dream" one.

    Umm can I ask, just how are you gonna fit all your purchases in the alotted space for your return home...I seem to remember it was a bit on the tight side going out there and you have done a little bit of shopping since (and not just stash) LOL

  19. Wow that's some amazing stash, I thought I did well last week with my new goodies! Your post has really brought home to me just how global a hobby we all have, and with blogging too, we can all take a peak in each others world. Amazing huh? Love how your wedding memories project has turned out.
