WOYWW #879

       

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 #879

Just been trying to work out what time Sarah will post as now that both countries have changed the hour we are now 9 hours ahead of you...

Here is my workdesk:

You can see a few new Visible image items that have just come in the post plus some junk journal makes to swap...

The gift bags that were on my desk last week have now been made into folios - one on my desk and one on the easel. This one you will see on Conjurer of Dreams

The one on my desk is for an Alice swap and these pictures give you an idea of it:

The other swaps are some altered envelopes and paper bags to hold ephemera.

The altered paper bags had to have serviettes adhered to them...

This is my next page in my tiny pieces of art: This month the theme is Easter/Furry Friends so this is my first page:

Also on my desk easel you will see another page in my whimsical journal which is an ongoing project. This used a Conjurer of Dreams image.

Happy WOYWW! I did manage to get round to you all last week but it was late in the week.  It will probably be the same this week.  I hope you all had a good Easter. It was also my Birthday on Easter Saturday so we had a nice family celebration that evening. With there being no postal deliveries on the public holidays, I am still getting Happy Birthday mail which is lovely!

Happy Easter!!

Today I have made a simple card using the paper from this:
