Today I am sharing the things I have made for the Conjuror of Dreams DT.

 However the optional month's challenge is TIME for TEA



First I made some little calendar folders









Then this.... Can you make out the large letters (draped with a banner)?


I decorated some large letters:



I then made some ATC sized cards and made them into a banner:




I draped these over the Yummy letters but the photos didn't do them justice.


The Conjurer of Dreams items I used were



Teacups

WOYWW #868


  

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 #868
Here is my workdesk:


Not a lot to see - a few stencils that need putting away - as we have been away for a few days.

This was the third page in my year-long challenge. I was pleased to see a couple of you had investigated it...This page had the prompt A little ray of sunshine with the weekly focus glitter, embossing powder, stickles.
I used an Art by Marlene sun stamp and Tracy Scott's butterfly.


Yesterday I got up early to join the UKSN Zoom craft and chat. Sheila led a workshop which was a challenge to use 6 items that might be on your desk. My desk is covered in 'Alice' paraphenalia so I ended up making this little mini-folio, including a little notebook:




So we went away - the first day we took the ferry from Sorrento to Queenscliff and had a look around there and Geelong.


The next day we were off to the open range zoo/safari park at Werribee:



Next up to Melbourne where we saw Saturday Night Fever.


Then on Monday Sophie and I went to the Australian Open and saw a couple of matches.


We arrived home to find the high winds had caused some damage to the garden:


But a wander around the Australian Garden found that unscathed.


Today we had Ollie so we visited a Sculpture park - this giant gnome is one of my favourites.


Sophie went looking for the Aurora last night and sent me this picture... we could see nothing here at home!




Happy WOYWW! I hope to get around all of you this week...
