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 all! Another short post today as I am (once again - will it never stop?) feeling under the weather, and I still have to work tonight. So short and sweet so I can go and have a nap before work.

My desk this morning:

And my recent journal pages:

and hubby turned 64 on Friday!

Next week I'm in Niagara Falls for the week, I will try and post from there!

Off to have a nap, kitties say meow, and I say have a great week!

Greetings! I hope everyone is well today! I am very late posting, but I am sharing my project (finally!)

First, here is my desk this morning

And, finally, here is the project (gift for a friend) that I have been working on for weeks and weeks! I know it will be hard to picture in your head how all the flips and flaps work, but I hope you enjoy it anyway! 

The front: her name is on the metal tag that hangs with the giant pearl

The front opened:

The front flips up!

Fold the front back down, and open like a book:

The flap on the left open:

Close up of wildflower tag:

the right-hand flaps are opened:

  Each pocket has a place for photos or journaling:

Looking to the right...the flap has a magnet, and there are tuck spots for tags, and a place for one of my i-cads I made a few years ago

The left side opens...and there is a little booklet for journaling tucked into the side

and more tuck spots and flaps on the right side      (This pic is sideways!)

  

 The right flap is opened as well

Finally we are the end! This is the back

The journal tutorial came from Bohemian Crafting on You Tube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NfXRAFpDadI&t=129s, and the paper I used was from a package called "Moments in Time", by Michelle Coleman, from Photoplaypaper.com

If you watch the You Tube video, my book might make more sense as you can see it undecorated, and how things move.

I hope everyone has a great week! The kitties and I are enjoying the summer, and loving our shady porch!

Greetings everyone! Today is the first day in the last 7 days that I have felt close to "normal". I had 4 days  of intense sore throat (think strep, but not, so no anti-biotics) until I went to the hospital on Sunday, and they gave me some sort of steroid for the swelling. By that evening the intense pain was gone and I could talk again! But on top of that was a cold that decided now that the sore throat was dealt with, it was time to come out in full force! Lucky me...this was along with violent coughing fits (and me with asthma, ever worried I was going to go into a full blown asthma attack). So today, thankfully, I feel better, and am hoping to get back to work on Friday. I feel like I've not worked more than I've worked for the past 3 months.

OK, pity party over. I have been watching a ton of You Tube craft videos. And I managed to do this yesterday, so this is my desk this morning:

That's about it for the whole week. But the birds are in the birdbath! That's good!

And I saw Mittsy drinking from it yesterday. 

The garden has been sorely forgotten this year. By now I should have had porch flowers, annuals planted, cherry tomatoes and lettuce. But I have none of that. Sad.
Hopefully next year will be better. So, hopefully I won't wear myself out on the first day I feel human again! 

The cats are upset because there are painters on our porch and I won't let them outside. Hopefully I will have more art to show next week, and I hope you are all well and happy! Meaows from Inky and Mittsy!

PS-please forgive me if I haven't replied to your wonderful comments, I will try to do better this week now that I am feeling more human.

Greetings! I hope you are having a sunny (but not too hot) day! It's been very nice weather here lately. My hubby has been sick for a week or so now, and I feel myself starting to succumb, so I don't have a lot of energy today. This will be short (Julia will be happy!)

My desk this morning:

 Finally got my Tim Holtz wildflower dies! I have also been working on my project - almost done! And my Junk Journal.


And here are the kitties, finally, together! Mittsy is waiting patiently for her bedtime treat which happens at 10pm, she often arrives a bit early!

Mittsy, I think, has reached the teen years, so when I call her to come in, she is choosing to say "nope! Make me!" 

Anyway, I'm going to try and rest today, so I don't get full-blown sick. I hope everyone else is well! Inky and Mittsy say meow" to you all, and I say have a great week!
