WOYWW #651

 Another Wednesday, time for a peek at each other's desks and projects! If you would like to learn more, just go to http://www.stamping-ground.blogspot.ca/p/what-is-woyww.html. Maybe you could join our little group! 

First of all, apologies to all who commented last week, I have read them all, but haven't had a chance to reply, I will try to get to all you first this week.

 It has been quite the challenging week, but now we have heat, yay! My new computer is wonderful, but it was quite frustrating, as I'm sure many of you know, transferring everything over. And getting to know how to use new things. I was told that Picassa wasn't available anymore, I love Picassa because it's SO easy, and it was recommended that I get Gimp. Ugh, it's like photoshop, and  very complicated. I'm sure if I took the time I could work it out, but I couldn't even figure out how to load an image for a long while, I can finally do that. But I got very frustrated and thought "really? I can't get Picassa? 

So I googled it, there it is, even a download for Widows11...of course my first thought was is it a scam? If they ask me for my CC I'm not doing it, but they didn't and it seems fine, just like my old Picassa! It could be that it's available, but just not supported anymore. My needs are very simple, so I am happy! I am still trying to figure out how to get my photos, and where they are stored...it seems sometimes I get to the right spot and sometimes all my folders are empty...big learning curve! Anyway, today will be short and sweet, here is my desk, a long view today for something different, taken yesterday:


You can see my blue art journal there, I'm not quite finished with that page, so I will show it next week.

My Flip through Video is here:  

I took Susan's great advice and posted it on Instagram, so hopefully you can get it with the link. Someday I will figure out how to post a video on blogger.

Here is Mittsy "hiding" from Inky who is on the other side of the chair. I watched for quite awhile - not even a twitch of her tail! They are now inside more than outside, a bit miffed at the cold weather!


That's all for today! Inky, Mittsy and I hope you all have a wonderful week! "Meow!"

 Another Wednesday, time for a peek at each other’s desks! If you would like to learn more, just go to http://www.stamping-ground.blogspot.ca/what-is-WOYWW.html. Maybe you could join our little group!

Changing computers, furnace died so no heat for a few days, it got below freezing this week, and the year long group I joined in September is closing in December. So not a great week so far ☹️But I will carry on! 

Here is my desk this morning:


I’m working on my big journal still, you can see bits and pieces on my desk for it.

I promised you a look at my Childhood Journal, but it has disappeared on my new laptop, and on my old computer it says it's too big. does anyone know how to make it smaller? it's only 3 minutes long...

So I guess I will wait one more week to post it (if I can figure out how), and that's it for me today, my toes are frozen!

Have a great week, the cats have found somewhere warm to hide out, and I need to as well.

Hello everyone! Let's hope the computer behaves for a few minutes! I'm going to look for a new one today, I want to move from a tower to a laptop.

Anyway, short and sweet today. Here is my desk this morning:

I'm almost finished my newest Junk Journal "Childhood" which hopefully I can share next week. I'm still working on my previous Junk Journal, which is about 30 pages long! That one is un-themed, so lots of different things in there.

I finally was able, this year, to plant some bulbs. I have never planted them before, and since we have loads of squirrels, I found out that they don't like Daffodils, so that's what I planted. We will have something to look forward to come Spring!


Here is a peek at my walk everyday...


You can just see the lake (Lake Ontario) peeking through the trees...

And here is what I see every morning after I get up...


Who can resist that cute little face! 

Inky didn't want to go out at first, it's getting a bit cold in the mornings!



Well, that's it for us, "Meows" from the kitties, and from me - have a great week!

Getting colder! A very chilly 0°C this morning. Brrrrrr. I don't like the cold, so I am wearing layers already! 

Here is my desk this morning:



I am currently working on 2 junk journals, one I started a couple of months ago, un-themed, and one I'm starting for my Marjie Kemper group, which I think will be called "Childhood". So busy on two fronts! While one is drying, I work on the other one. You can just see the first one in the first picture, sitting in the basket on the left.

We had Halloween on Sunday, pandemic rules are gone, we had lots of (hopefully covid free) kids on our porch - 32 to be exact. Many of them commented on the decorations (not many people decorate for Halloween around here) and I had spooky Halloween noises playing as well. It looks lame in the light, but spookier at night!





           you can't see the bat netting in this photo, but it's there!


And I carved the pumpkin this year!

Today's kitty photo - here they are both together in my favourite spot, my warm bed watching TV. They both wanted scratches at the same time! Usually they take turns lying on my chest.

That's it for today! We hope you all have a wonderful week, stay safe, and stay creative! inky and Mittsy say "meow!"
