WOYWW #504

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!

Here we are, back again after another week - boy these weeks go by fast! It will be February on Friday! Where does the time go? Anyway, it has been incredibly cold here for the last week or so, today is -16°C, feeling like -23°C. It has snowed a few times which means everything is pretty again. My stamping Room is the coldest room in the house for some reason, I have no idea why. But I'm sure it is at least 10° colder in there than anywhere else. And on these very cold days, it's not a place I can spend much time. But I have been getting some organizing and tidying done, not much else though:







As I said, the snow is beautiful again, and the cats just love to sit and stare outside, dreaming of warmer days. Mittsy has escaped a few times, she is so fast out that door! We have to be very careful. . .



 Inky on her favourite perch, Mittsy wants to play! Can you find her?


Mittsy has a nice view from here. . .

I hope everyone has a wonderful week, that's it from us today. Hopefully I will be able to make something Valentiney for hubby for the 14th in my freezing room!

PS-I have a question for you. I have 4 drawers full of coloured pigment ink pads. I rarely if ever use them. I use mostly Distress Inks and black inks in my work. I hate the thought of getting rid of them, but I feel that I should, since I really never use them. What are your thoughts? Get rid? Keep in case? Such a hard decision!

Writing with a kitten around is no easy feat!
She loves chasing the cursor around. So then I let her watch some You Tube. . .

My little corner office. . .



Yes, she did go all around the monitor to try and figure out where the birds came from! I remember Inky doing this too.  

Here is my desk today:

and here are my new Christmas art toys! I haven't been able to play with any yet, but I plan to! The 3-D embossing folders are intriguing! The baron will be useful when stamping unmounted stamps.


I think that may be it for me today, Inky is asleep under the couch, and Mittsy is right here watching everything I do! Soon she will making the blogs posts!

Have a great week!

Greetings to all! I hope your week went well. Once again I managed NOT to get any art done at all, but my stamping room is a work in progress - it just needs to progress faster!
Here was my desk this morning:




I don't know why I started with markers, or things that make marks, I just did.  There were an awful lot that just plain didn't work from lack of use. I have a love/hate relationship with gel pens. I hate them, but love the white ones, when they work. So will probably toss all but white and metallic.

It hit me other day that it was January, the beginning of a new year (duh!) and was the perfect time to finally start a new Project Life Album! I have all the things I need to get going, and prints at my local drugstore are on sale! I used to print out all my photos on the computer, but it ate ink like crazy, I think this will be better. The last time I did PL was in  2015!


Who's tail is this?

yes, Mittsy's! Playing with her favourite Christmas present of all. . .


while big sister sits at the snowy window and dreams of spring. . .

I hope everyone has a wonderful week! "Meows" from the kitties and "see you later" from me!

Greetings to all! Hope your New Year is going well so far! Today will be a very quick post as I have to get ready to go to work this morning. Here is my desk - since I removed almost everything to make a gift wrapping center, I am now finding the best way to re-create my desk. It make take awhile!


Anyone else doing KonMari? I just started last week. Marie Kondo has a Netflix show now that I binge watched. If you don't know what KonMari is, Google it!

Inky and Mittsy sharing a space! Two minutes after this photo was taken, Mittsy took a playful swipe at Inky, who was not impressed, and left - more space for Mittsy to have her nap! Smart kitty this one! They are still getting along well, however, I love listening to them chasing each other all over the house!

No art projects to show you, hopefully next week. Off to work now, have a wonderful week,

This isn't just any Wednesday, it's our 500th Wednesday! How awesome is that! Happy New Year to all who follow and/or contribute to WOYWW!

Here is my desk this morning:
I turned my desk into a gift wrapping station, and just haven't gotten back to putting it back together yet! Hopefully it will be back to normal by next week!

And, finally, the project I was working on for the last several weeks as a Christmas gift to my daughter:






It has 5 pages, each page has an insert with a 4 page "booklet" of photos, and two pages have inserts that sit behind the photos on the page. All the pages are wither waterfall pages, or flap fold pages of some sort. The book follows her Christmases from the year she was born, to last Christmas. I think she liked it!

We had a wonderful Christmas, sad that it's over, but great memories! So, onto a new year with new projects!

Inky and Mittsy have been getting along very well, they enjoy chasing each other all over the house, and they both were spoiled over Christmas! Mittsy got a new collar, and some new mice (she LOVES the little mice toys!) and Inky got some treats she loves and a new catnip bag. They are now eating together, sometimes even from the same bowl - Mittsy is a little piggy! She has grown so much just over the past couple of weeks!



We all wish all of you the BEST for 2019!! Have a great week! 

PS: I had my birthday yesterday - I am now officially a senior citizen!
