Good Morning dear 'deskers'. It's Wednesday again and that's when we bare all when it comes to our workdesks. Warts and all.
Well mine is full of warts so to speak:
We have been away for a week and it is an unholy mess!
The open book is my tangle journal which I brought with me on holiday. I did a few pages as you can see. It's this book:
I love the idea of the book and the tasks/challenges/excercises. But the quality of the paper is not good and the ink bleeds through the page. Look:
The left hand page has the pattern from the previous page showing through. Not good...
I sometimes participate in Traveling Notebooks. One from a girl in France arrived the day before we left on our holiday. Today I made a start by printing some photos.
I got allocated several pages in which to write something about myself, my village and a local recipe. Then I send it to the next person. There will be about 10 people on the list from different countries and eventually the girl in France will get an interesting book back.
There are some Postcrossing postcards there that shouldn't really be in the photo but fortunately the address is not visible.
I have been doing some decoupage too at the campsite. I found this book with everything in it to make a card. Ideal for the holidays.
I will leave you with this postcard:
Yes, I know, Easter has been and gone.... but I thought these eggs were so beautifully decorated that I wanted to share them with you. (The card came from Poland).
Wishing you all a happy WOYWW and a fab week to follow,
Blessings,
Lisca
Hello folks!
Here we are again at WOYWW (which stands for Whats On Your Work desk Wednesday) where we have fun blog hopping and looking at each other's desks. Come and join the party. Here is the link for Julia who leads us in the fun: Stamping Ground.
The photo of my desk was taken yesterday afternoon, when it was warm and sunny.
I have received a few Christmas cards, two robins (what is it about Christmas and robins? I don't see the connection....), but the middle one is from Kate. She made this with her die cutting machine in vynil. It's very intricate and very beautiful.
The booklet in the fore ground is a 'Traveling Notebook'. It gets sent to different people from all over the world (who have signed up). The idea is to write something about yourself, your city, your country, your job or whatever you want to write about. (Some of these TNs are about recipes, but not this one. This one is a general one). I have written in two before so I still have the photos on my computer from the last one. The page that i am working on is about Caniles (where I live).
Apart from a Sudoku book and a doodle/tangle book, there isn't much on my desk.
Earlier this week I did a workshop for some ladies in the village and we made some Christmas decorations:
In this photo it is really evident that I live in a building site and that it is a work in progress....
Anyway, I did the white star for the absolute beginners as it is the easiest thing to do. And we also did the red star and the bauble (made out of die-cut shapes). One of the ladies is English and the others are Spanish speaking. The Spanish speaking ladies are desperate to learn English, so we decided we would speak only English! That was a laugh!
I'll leave you with our little kitty called Precious:
He's gorgeous and has beautiful coloring and stripes. Here he is playing with a piece of rope that hubby was hanging up (or trying to) to exhibit the Christmas decorations we made at the workshop.
Monday we will be flying to Holland, so my next post will be from the Netherlands.
Have a good week you'all and remember the Reason for the Season!
Blessings,
Lisca
