WOYWW #826

  

It is Wednesday so

 I am linking to WOYWW at Sarah's craft shed

Follow the link to find out more about What's on Your Work Desk Wednesday and maybe join in... This is my post for WOYWW #826 


In amongst the clutter you can see a junk journal page using the Conjuror of Dreams progressive image.


I was also adding to the travel journal that I showed you last week.

However this was a folio made from a paper crafting virtual retreat I was on last weekend - a workshop by Jenny Curthoys. This used Mintay papers.






The front page of this has the chipboard sentiment.
You can see on my desk the paper on which I was painting this. This may become ATC backing!



 I am very late posting this. We have had a week and a half. This is why I didn't get around to any commenting last week - weekend retreat plus our car broke down on Thursday. It is now in the 'shop' waiting to be mended. So we had a hire car... This had a flat tyre on Tuesday so we are now on a second but none of this is easy! Sophie locked herself out on Sunday night so we had to nip over with our key. 10.30 at night so it meant a late night. She is only 20 mins away though so not too bad. She was putting her bins out and the door shut...
Add these to the previous catalogue of disasters - my computer failing and Kevin's phone battery almost exploding it's been one thing and another. Anyway Soph sent some flowers to say thanks - not necessary but nice!!



I have been making some more faux postage stamps and ATCs...

Gecko Galz images:


These were some Conjuror of Dreams images I had printed on my desk.


Oh I meant to add yesterday we were taking recycling bottles in to the 10c machine - this goes into Ollie's pocket money.



One of the bottles was not quite empty - he was not happy!

But that's all for now...


Happy WOYWW!

WOYWW #825

 

It is Wednesday so

 I am linking to WOYWW at Sarah's craft shed

Follow the link to find out more about What's on Your Work Desk Wednesday and maybe join in... This is my post for WOYWW #825 

For me this is quite a clear desk!!

The main thing I have been doing is the cover of an altered book ( this week's Wanderlust)


I have also been making a junk journal cover on a travel theme. The journal pages inside I was given and they are just tied in at the moment (easy to take in and out) but I also intend adding some more signatures. The cardboard cover is covered with fabric.

On my computer desk I have some faux postage stamps that I have been making:


My featured post above is about another meander book. A friend suggested making the pages into pockets - I put ATCs in these and I have used the recent Conjuror of Dreams Progressive Challenge image.


Kevin has just harvested our crop of Butternut/pumpkins... looking forward to some soup!


And I have just finished a jigsaw...

That's all for now...


Happy WOYWW!
