WOYWW #752

       

It is Wednesday so I am linking to the Stamping Ground

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 #752

SO here's my desk!



Rather a mess as when we got back from Matty's on Friday, I had a virtual retreat for the weekend. 
You can see two journal pages half done. Although I watched many of the workshop videos I only managed to finish a couple of them.

This was courtesy of Tammy Klingner - photo taken as it got dark!


I also finished this altered book - workshop be Tanya Froud.


Similar to one I made last year!


This is special as that witch used to belong to my Mum - she hung it up in the hall every year!

Ollie helped us get ready for Halloween:



And Kevin made a skeleton:


We had many small children come trick-or-treating - in fact we almost ran out of treats!

Finally, during October I have been adding postcards from Vintage Image Craft - I had a look to see what came up today...

HAPPY NOVEMBER! I really love this little "aster" girl celebrating November birthdays. Adorable postcard illustration and verse, circa 1908.




Wishing you a happy week...and hope to get around to you all this week...
Happy  WOYWW!

  4. Love that colorful page and what good advice! Sounds like you had a busy Halloween - very quiet here for us, there don't seem to be many children out and about these days. How lovely to incorporate that keepsake into your art. Have a great week, love n hugs Cindy xx #11

  5. Love the book most of all, but the journal page looks fab as well. We had ZERO T-or-Ters but where we live I think the average age is like 60 LOL! You sure seem to have enjoyed the day.
    Flying visit before knitting…

  6. Well you certainly had a busy Halloween, how fun to have so many visitors. I must say the skeleton is v impressive! I nearly wrote Kevin's skeleton is very impressive, but that doesn't read at all well! I love how you came back from your sons and tipped straight into the retreat weekend, you are a busy bee. I love that you've included your Mum's little witch in the book, great way to preserve a great memory.

  7. I love the quote that you used on your lovely journal page! Such bright sunshiny colours! The 2 altered books are very cool, and to have the little witch your Mum always used is perfect! Have a great week, Lindart #19

  8. Hi Susan, I'm here at last! As usual the boiler man didn't arrive until lunchtime and then I had to keep the dogs busy while hubby looked after him. By the time that was over and I caught up with a few other jobs it was evening, don't know where the time goes. I am so loving your journal pages though different I love them all. Wishing you a late but happy woyww. Hugs, Angela x10x
