WOYWW #904

Here's my desk today:


My photo is rather dark as daylight is going here in Melbourne (6pm). Not much to see although there is an altered playing card on the little easel and makes for Gecko Galz and Conjurer of Dreams which will be shared tomorrow and later in the month...
There are a couple of dies that I picked up from a charity shop.


I haven't done much crafting this week as we went away last Thursday, staying in a motel in Echuca for 4 nights - we saw many of the local sights but I didn't really get the chance to comment... I did make these ATCs - one of which uses the same images as the altered playing card. These were from Gecko Galz.



I am adding a few photos from the long weekend although if you are my friend on Facebook you will see many more!!


We went to the Great Aussie Beer Shed where there was a huge collection of beer cans - I don't think these would be made now...

It is now 5 weeks since my hip replacement - I am doing pretty well and doing lots of physio in rehab. I think I probably walked too much over the weekend but I can already do so much more than before the op. I am waiting for my review with the surgeon which will be in a week or so.




Have a happy WOYWW !!

WOYWW #903

Here's my desk today:


 All you can see is a box of lace scraps in which I am trying to find suitable bits to decorate some ephemera envelopes.
 These were demonstrated by Maureen on a swap group I am part of. They are made with used envelopes that I save...





The other thing I made yesterday were some scrap busting strips that I will use in my junk journals - belly bands or pockets or something. These used some of those little scraps of paper that accumulate on my desk.


I am currently up to date with my year long tiny pieces of art. This month the theme is In the meadows at Springtime. We of course are into Spring - and some days it actually feels warm enough!


 These are my Weeks 1 - 3:




Have a happy WOYWW !!

Conjurer of Dreams September ATC Challenge

            

These are my makes for the 

Conjurer of Dreams


with a freebie image set. 

The theme this month is Autumn Beauties.


I used the ATC backs on scraps of 0range card, having cut out the ovals. 
I placed the faces behind these and then added the other images and sentiments  from the free page, die cut into circles and tags.





I will link these to the challenge.



Happy Crafting!
