Another Book in a Box

Finally finished playing with the little tags and the box that I was working on last week. I have been playing with Picasa and trying to see if I can finally get all the photos on my poor hard drives organised.... hmmm, may have taken a huge bite of whatever and may never be able to chew again!! LOL  But... I did manage to create a collage... (big pat on Annette's back please) and am wondering if people prefer individual shots of a project or one of these?  I often think I am perhaps boring any peeps that pop by with all the little shots of stuff and this would actually make my pages load faster.... which may not be a problem to those who sit with super dooper speedy broadband but I have to admit our internet speeds here in Saudi are on the turtle side of the scale and when I open a blog and it tells me 'downloading 35th of 218 photos' my little heart drops into my shoes and my brain sort of numbs over knowing that I could be looking at the screen for one heck of a long time to just be able to see the latest post!   So, if you would be so kind, leave me a comment and tell me what you think?  Thanks.

WOYWW or What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday...

and here we are at Wednesday again... and its been a slow week on my workdesk!  I did sit and make a little book in a box yesterday and this morning on my workdesk are some chipboard pieces that I am covering and sanding and inking to put on a chain and pop into the the box.

Here is the box that I am making the tags for... its much smaller than previous ones!
But the perfect size for two scented votive candles and a little tag book!
Oh and Pandora says that just because she is good and doesn't sleep on my workdesk shouldn't be a reason that she never gets on my blog.... so here she is asleep on my bed!!

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!!
