Another Wednesday, time to peek at each others desks and projects! If you want to know what WOYWW is, just go to http://www.stamping-ground.blogspot.ca/p/what-is-woyww.html  and all will be revealed! 

Hello everyone! Not much on my desk today, although I did finish my journal page and make a birthday card for my daughter which I forgot to photograph (of course!). The weekend was taken up with birthday fun, and then work, up until today.

Here is my desk this morning:

My last journal page for Father's Day (his 32nd!)...

and I received my ATC along with a lovely card from Kelly! Thanks Kelly!

and my garden...

and my DD's Tapas Birthday Party!

DD with her fiance - we had the party in a tent - it was so nice!

PS-I didn't get a chance to take photos of all the Tapas, or her Birthday cake! But we had 4 "phases" including dessert.

and the last word from Inky...

Have a great week! Hopefully I will get to more people this week!

Good morning! Here is my desk this morning:

started a new journal page!

Here is my last journal page:

 I haven't been able to add any words to this, I like it the way it is! I like the contrast of the"harsh modern" gear images with the soft flower image.

Here is the card I couldn't show you last week:

And I've added a few touches to my i-pad cover:

the magnet that holds the flap to the cover didn't work through the new stuff I added, so I glued on a bottle cap - fixed!

This past weekend we trimmed a few bushes along the side of the house that hadn't been touched in more than 20-25 years!

Looks much better now, and my little perennial garden has more sun now! And I can now continue with some more flowers along the base of the porch.

So that's it for me this week! I'm giving a Tapas birthday party for my DD this weekend, I will let you know how it went!


Inky and I wish you a Happy Solstice!!!

June 13 already! Where is June going so fast? So far we have had a pleasant June, cool mornings, sunny afternoons. Gardening has been done. Plants have been bought. We are planning a belated Birthday Party for DD in a week, and we bought a dining tent so we could have it outside, now we will just need good weather that night! Forecast for tonight-severe storm with possible tornadoes. Something to look forward to.

Here is my desk this morning, kind of boring:

However, it doesn't mean I didn't do anything this week! My i-Pad cover was starting to fall apart, so I did this with some of my Gelli Plate paper:

Seems to be working fine, I just need to do some adjustments, and maybe tape the edges? Not sure yet. But is it unique! I also made a card for a friend who often peeks at my blog, so I won't show it today. 

So I have been in my garden, if you want to see garden pics, here they are:

My perennial garden is nice and full, I added a couple of annuals, and some Lobelia hanging from a little pot, and I put all my herbs around the border.

My birdbath has become a jungle of Nasturtiums, the birds still go in there though! At some point (I am assured) the nasturtiums will cascade down. 

My side garden is next on my list. This garden has been neglected for more than 20 years.

So I have made a start:

We have this lovely limestone flower border that has essentially been covered up for years. I pulled out all the Lily of the Valley that spewed into the lawn (I know it will probably resurface next spring, but that's OK) and trimmed some of the bushes. There is one we have to dig right out, a forsythia, which will be hard work. And we have to trim down our giant flowering bushes which have gone tall and spindly. But it's a start! At least it's starting to look like a garden again!

Well, that's it for me! Don't forget to stop and smell the spring flowers!

Inky says "meow" and I say have a great week!

Greetings everyone! I hope you are warmer than we have been lately! A week ago I was having my coffee every morning on the porch, but this week it's been too cold! Anyway, my desk this morning has not changed since last week, not because I haven't made anything, but there just isn't anything on it today! But this was my desk last Thursday evening, after my friend and I played with our gelli plates:

And later in the week I cut them all up to use for cards:

And then I made a card:

And I used one whole sheet as a background for my next journal page:

Inky likes to be near me when I am working in my stamp room:

So cute in her little bed!

Well, that's it for me today, I'm off to the gym, then lunch with my Mom! Inky says "meow", and have a great week! 
PS: Happy 5th Birthday to Inky!! (June 4th) Seems like it was just yesterday when she was a tiny kitten!
