WOYWW #482

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!

Greetings to all! I hope you are all experiencing cooler weather with summer slowly coming to an end. Here, the children start back to school next week, and the French schools have already started back this week.

Here is my desk this morning. It was getting a bit untidy, so I spent a few minutes yesterday tidying up a bit, and then worked on my latest Art Journal page.



Here are a few pages from my junk journal, my friend and I went to lunch last week at a really nice restaurant right on a river. Perfect day, perfect view, perfect lunch! And I used one of my coins too!



And Hubby and I went to a play:


I'm having fun with my junk journal!

I was supposed to give an Art Journal workshop yesterday, but it was cancelled due to illnesses, but here is what I will do with them when I do see them - very easy! (I chose a random page in my junk journal) I made a circle stencil using a playing card!


And here is Inky, where I found her last week when I came home from work one day, sleeping on my side table near the front door, head resting on a book called "The Cat Who Dropped a Bombshell"!


Well, that's it for me this week, Inky says "Meow" and I say have a great week!

WOYWW #481

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!

Greetings everyone! Wednesdays sure do come around quickly! We have been enjoying lovely sunny days (except for yesterday's rain, which we needed) and cooler weather. Hope all of you are comfortable too!

Here is my desk this morning at 7:30am:


I have finished my Niagara Falls journal, and now starting a new one, a junk journal as before. I am really liking this technique! I am preparing the pages as I go, so you can see a few finished pages, and some that haven't been touched yet.

I really want to make a little video of the NF journal, so hopefully I can do that next week sometime and share with you on the next WOYWW. But I will share what I've done so far on this new journal:


 The half circle page was a fan I got at our Canada Day celebrations! The other half will show up near the end!





You can see that the rest of the pages are just this and that, flyers from the mail, envelopes from the mail, a chocolate box. . . 

. . .and I "discovered" Artist Trading Coins! Decided finally to make a few myself, I think this could become addictive! And they would go great in my journals! Anyone want to trade?



That's it for me today, I'm off to the gym! (there, I've said it, now I HAVE to go! LOL!)

"Meow" from Inky, and have a great week!

WOYWW #480

Greetings! Such a beautiful day today, lovely cooler weather - only 22C! I have to get ready for work in 10 minutes so this will be very short and sweet! Inky is meowing to go outside, but she can't, as I am leaving. Poor kitty!

Anyway, my desk this morning, still working on my travel journal - I just haven't had time to sit down and work on it for more than 15 minutes at a time!


Well, it's a busy desk, anyway! Soon I will have to tidy up as my work space keeps shrinking!

That's it for me today, Inky gets her treats and I head out the door for work. Inky says "meow", and I say "have a good week everyone!"

WOYWW #479

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! Well, I'm back from my week in Niagara Falls (Canada), and never even saw the Falls, so many other fun things to do! Here is my desk this morning, just the way I left it when I went off to catch the train.



I worked on my travel journal everyday (which I am planning to show when I have finished). The highlight of the trip was a 7-course meal with wine pairings, all made by a Canadian celebrity chef, Matt Kershaw! Here is the menu:



It was to be a typical French-Canadian meal based on the "Order of Good Cheer", which was originally a French Colonial order founded by suggestion of Samuel de Champlain upon arrival in New France, present day Canada. It was absolutely delicious.

I will make today short and sweet, just like our fearless leader likes it, but I leave you with a picture of Patrick, my Inky substitute in Niagara Falls while I was away. Apart from being a male cat, and much bigger than Inky, it was nice to have a black cat around!
Patrick

And Inky was very happy to see us when got home! Have a great week,
