WOYWW #738

 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!


Last week got away from me somehow! Last Wednesday was hubby's birthday, and a picnic, and singing in the choir I belong to, and out for dinner, and a play (Sound of Music). Whew! For someone who's been essentially bedbound for 3 months it was a lot for one day! So I recovered for the next couple of days, then the weekend happened...off to visit our niece and a swim in her lake...a day in the sun and I'm exhausted again! So I didn't get a chance to visit any blogs, but I will visit both your blog posts today! (or tomorrow...) This weekend I am off for my annual "Girl's week" with my good friend in Niagara Falls, so I probably won't post next week. 

I didn't get a lot done last week, but here is my desk this morning: pretty full and messy desk! I am drying some images I glued into my tag book


Here is my Tag Book (as taught by Megan Quinlan in the Fodder Challenge)


It's not finished, I thought I would bring it to Niagara Falls with me and use it as my travel journal this year. It has 4 pockets for tags and 8 pages (or 4 long pages). It should work fine! I'll show you when I get back.

Here are a couple of pages in my small ongoing art journal that I started last year in Fodder School. I keep adding to it once in awhile:



And that's it for me! We just had a torrential rain a few minutes ago, it's all over now! I hope the heat isn't too bad for you over there. Luckily we haven't gotten it yet.

Inky and Mittsy are enjoying the summer so far, out every day, rolling in the dirt (seems to be a requirement before coming in for the night😒) And so they say "Meow!" And I say, have a great week! Stay cool! Have fun! Create Joy!

Hello! I hope everyone is enjoying their summer and staying out of the heat! We have been enjoying relatively cool weather, mostly 20°-29°, lots of rain, everything is beautifully green and lush.  I have lots to show you today, as I wasn't able to post photos last week.

Here is my desk Tuesday morning, not showing much, just a bunch of leftover things from my Fodder School Challenges:


And here are my Fodder School Challenge Projects so far, There are 2 so far I opted not to do, but may do later on
Day 1: Tiffany Sharpe watercolour leaf fodder

Day 2: I skipped, it was covering a notebook or journal with collage
Day 3: Floating Words, Alison Bomber, hopefully you can see the words "floating"





Day 4: Started but didn't finish, no photo (didn't like it to be truthful)
Day 5: Mixed Media Tokens, Kecia Deveney, showing the process






These were fun, I only did a few, but will continue on!

Day 6-skipped, will come back to it later (making printed ribbons)
Day 7-Gratitude Medals, Jennifer Wilkin Pennick


Day 8 was yesterday, I will try and make it today, it's a little tag book by Megan Quinlan
Day 9 is today, I probably won't get to it until Thursday!

In my journal I played with one of my favourite stamps by Meer Image. 
 I turned her into a mermaid! And I am ready to make more!

And this one has a Steampunk head!

Well I'm sure you are overloaded by now, I leave you with a photo of my Mom and me at our weekly lunch, at our favourite Vietnamese restaurant!

Have a great week!

I am having a terrible time downloading photos from my phone to my computer, very frustrating. I can get some of my photos but not all, and the ones I'm missing are the ones I need for this post😡Grr!

Two weeks ago I twisted my ankle, and it was very sore, but my DD and Jasper were visiting, so I ignored it the best I could.  I have been trying to get it to heal for the past 1 1/2 weeks, and today it feels almost back to normal. 😃

I have been getting some art done, and I joined the Fodder School Challenge 2023 which started yesterday. I'm posting on Instagram, so if you want to see what I did for Day 1 you can go to @Lindart61. If you want to join, it is free, go to https://willa-workshops.teachable.com/p/fodder-challenge-2023 It was through this challenge in 2021 that I got involved with Fodder School!

I can't even leave you with a cute photo of Jasper when she was visiting 😞.

Hoping you all are enjoying your summer so far, and hopefully I will have the photo problem figured out by next week.
